I love Panera sandwiched, salads and soups. Walked in to this location. Very clean and pleasant. Eas not addressed when walked in, another customer was not addressed either and simply needed to ask a question about a menu item. Had to interrupt a conversation to get my order in. Then ordered a sandwich which I expressed French baguette and chips.
Unfortunately, I got wheat bread a roll of bread. As I stated, I love sanwiched from Panera. In this situation, it was the food it was the lack of simple attention and making a customer feel valued and heard.
Will more than likely eat Panera again, but just not at this location anymore.
Bad customer service messing up good food.

As a keen Panera Bread customer across the States, I’ve visited many locations, but this one at Dipont Circle truly stands out. From the moment you walk in, the staff greet you with warm, friendly smiles and provide remarkably efficient service, making the experience feel effortless. The store itself is impeccably clean, with a welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect whether you’re popping in for a quick bite or planning to sit and relax.
The outdoor seating is a real highlight—beautiful tables bathed in sunlight, ideal for enjoying a meal while taking in the surroundings. The food is consistently cooked to perfection and presented with care, showing attention to detail in every dish. It’s clear that the team takes pride in their work, from the friendly service to the inviting environment and the quality of the food.
Overall, this Panera Bread location exemplifies everything you could want in a visit: great service, clean and comfortable spaces, lovely outdoor seating, and delicious, well-presented food. Truly a standout experience—well done to the team!

Usualmente no doy malos reviews pero este si que fue un mal mal lugar. La comida es un engaño total, las fotos son falsas y lo que uno termina recibiendo no se asemeja en nada al producto que uno ordenó. PÉSIMO
