  I recently had a cup of chili and an Italiano half sub At Panera Bedford NH facility. I got home 2 hours later and my stomach was upset and resulted in me vomiting up the sandwich and chili for 2 hours until my stomach was empty of the chili. I have never had such a negative reaction to dining out . I am normally very healthy with no digestive issues. The only conclusion I can came to is either food poisoning or Norovirus infection. Beware of the chili.

  I’m not a fan of the new kiosk-heavy process—but honestly, that part can be overcome. What can’t be ignored is the attitude shift. When I asked for a real mug instead of a disposable cup, I got a sideways look from food prep staff like I’d asked for something unreasonable. That’s a shame, because this place used to be packed at 9am. Now it’s noticeably quieter—and it’s not hard to see why. Most of those former regulars are probably over at Pressed Café, where customer service still seems to matter. Credit where it’s due: the avocado toast is solid. I’ll give that 4 stars. But service matters. Culture matters. VC ownership may have optimized the process, but it clearly drained the soul. Do better, Panera.

  We had not been to Panera for some time and were very disappointed when we went for coffee, bagel, and pastry for almost $16. The redecorating is stark and cold. I miss the coziness of the comfy chairs by the fireplace. The booths have been redesigned and do not give the privacy they once did. With all that said, I had the worst bagel I can remember (and I buy store bought ones. ). It had very little substance and was tasteless. I had always loved Panera, but that Panera is gone. We won’t be returning.

  They charge too much money for a single sandwich to take so long to complete the order. I think most of the staff was working hard. But the process seems super ineffective. Their food is overrated. It’s okay.

  Went to Panera today with my daughter for lunch and we decided to have tuna. She had the half tomato soup and tuna value duet. I chose to have a whole tuna sandwich on baguette with lettuce and tomato and onion and a bowl of soup. I literally got a heaping tablespoon of tuna on my sandwich Such a shame for the price that you pay. I really hope they could correct this issue as I’ve read some other reviews and I see that they’re a little skimpy on the portion for the price. The coffee machine was great and the people were lovely. The place was very clean even the bathroom. I do hope they improve the portions of food that they give.
