    From my experience ~10 orders in 6 months, the food has not once been ready for pickup when they say it's ready online. I even come 5 minutes after the timing and STILL end up waiting 10-15 minutes after I get there. And, every third order or so, the order doesn't have the ingredients listed. (Eg. No cheese on the French onion soup). These issues may be specific to the Puyallup location since that's the only site I go to...we'll, went to. I think Ill choose a different pastries/lunch place for me and my team.

    I ordered a chicken noodle soup bread bowl and a bowl of chicken noodle soup to go. I opened the soup and there was one noodle in the bowl of soup with one piece of chicken and one carrot and the remainder was broth. I opened the soup to dump into my bread bowl and had two noodles, a few carrots and a piece of chicken. Needless to say, I was disappointed as this was supposed to be dinner, but all I got was broth. The quality of food was awful especially for the price they charge. I will never eat at Panera again.

    I just read some reviews because of our poor experience here and I have to agree with all. This place is certainly off our list. Sad that it's been this way there for a LONG time. Must be the owner of this location. No we won't be back!

    This Panera Bread in Puyallup has been consistently disappointing. The customer service is extremely unprofessional — multiple visits and each time the staff has been rude or acts like helping customers is a problem. Orders are wrong almost every time, and instead of fixing it politely, they give attitude. Super frustrating experience dealing with mistakes and poor service over and over again. For the price Panera charges, you’d expect basic accuracy and decent customer service. Unfortunately, this location has neither. Definitely won’t be coming back.

    The food was good: fresh, warm, and exactly what you expect from Panera. My sandwich and soup combo hit the spot, but everything came out SO slow. The restaurant was clean and comfortable, a nice spot to relax for a bit. The only other downside was that the staff seemed a little unhappy or tired, which made the atmosphere feel a bit off. No one was rude, but it just lacked that welcoming energy you usually get at Panera. Still, the quality of the food and how smoothly everything ran made it an overall good experience. I’d come back again- hopefully next time it feels a little brighter.
