- NNNaiSep 1, 20254.0If you go in person it is good. If you order delivery they may give you the wrong soup or pastry. At one point my pastry came seeking of perfume! I called and told them not to wear lotion or whatever when working. It was so strong that I could taste it and threw it out.
- TJTasharah JulionAug 8, 20251.0The Menlo Park mall, Panera bread taste much better and much more fresher this crap here at this Panera bread was the worst I’ve ever had. Things were just thrown together. The mozzarella was thick. The tomato was disgustingly cut soggy there. It did not taste. Good was not pleasing to the pallet nor was the strawberry Fresno, which did not taste fresh Tasted like powder. It was horrible. I would never recommend Panera bread at this Watchung area the best one so far has been Menlo Park for the Italian mozzarella sandwich and the mozzarella steak sandwich and the strawberry Fresno was best at mellow Park and I’m very disappointed because I spent $40 on my order. The tomato soup didn’t even taste fresh like the one in Menlo Park. Very disappointing. I should have taken pictures. The sandwich looked disgusting. I should’ve taken pictures and the drink that does not look like it did when I got it from Menlo Park I’m very disappointed.
