- DPDanielle “Dani P” PDec 1, 20255.0Listen… this soup had me shimmying in my seat, okay? 😭✨ The Autumn Squash Soup is THAT girl — creamy, cozy, seasoned just right, pumpkin seeds crunchin’ on top… I was over there doing a happy dance with every bite like ‘yup, this is the one.’ The Mediterranean Veggie? It was cute… fresh… colorful… but wasn't giving what I expected. Just being honest. But BABY… that chocolate chip cookie? Yeah, that cookie got me in a CHOKEHOLD every single time. Soft, warm, and never misses. I don’t know what they put in it but it hits every single time. My food came out quick, everything was hot, staff was movin’, place was clean — no complaints. If you come here, don’t play — get the squash soup and that cookie. Trust me.
- RFRoxana FNov 25, 20255.0Food is always good here.
- JPJaguar PawNov 16, 20251.0I ordered online and part of my order was missing. The manager I spoke with refused to have it delivered. Really bad experience. I will not be eating at Panera East Rutherford, NJ again.
- LDLeona DavisNov 11, 20251.0Young cashier with glasses (no hair net) gave my pick up order to the wrong person. Although I was running late I understand that mistakes happen. He took his time "throwing" my sandwich together and instead of apologizing for the wait he told me I shouldn't have waited so long to pick up my order. Mind you its my birthday. He was so rude and unprofessional for no reason.
- ESErnie SeferagicOct 25, 20253.0We visit Panera Bread quite regularly, and overall, the experience really depends on the day. The service can sometimes be very slow and a bit unfriendly, though every now and then we do get lucky and have someone cheerful at the counter, which makes a big difference. The food also varies — there are times when everything is fresh, tasty, and just right, but we’ve also had moments where we left disappointed with the preparation or the speed of service. I won’t go into too much detail, but in general, I’d say the service is just “so-so,” and the overall organization could definitely be better.
