- RMRox Medina5 days ago5.0Es un lugar q amo, no es super barato pero la comida es de excelente calidad y vos podés modificar los componentes de cualquier plato. Se puede pedir 1/2 porción de todo.
- JJjonetteFeb 23, 20264.0Food was absolutely amazing, had the steak stack bagel and bacon Mac and broccoli soup. First time in a Panera. ( Honestly I thought it was a drive through and was absolutely not equipped to go in with a disabled toddler and no stroller, but I DID , anyways. ) The sandwich made the experience inside worth it. No hello..no one taking orders .no one asked if I needed help or anything. Not a single person said one word to me...and it was my first time ever trying Panera. Also ordering on a touch screen tablet is so superficial...I'm sure that played in to the reason why no human even tried to make contact with my alien mom self. Definitely going a different location next time I decide to be adventurous with my kid.
- NBNicholas BrattonFeb 3, 20263.0Portions are small for the price my opinion
- JJJayJan 25, 20261.0Probably the worst panera I've ever been to. I go to paneras almost everyday to study for many years. This place never has their creamers filled and I came in 2 hours before close and they had almost all of their tables flipped. This is unacceptable
- MDMalvin DiazJan 11, 20265.0The best place in the city to get breakfast, lunch and dinner. Don't go anywhere else just go to Panera Bread. Panera Bread don't forget to promote all the employees.
