Panera Bread

Panera bread is very consistent across the US from California all the way to Suffolk Virginia.

Inconsistency combined with great food and great service and a friendly atmosphere that is clean is always going to resolve in a positive experience.

Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures until I was kind of through with my meal. However I did get any two combo with avocado club and unforgot you and the Caesar salad with the Southwest accent.

A very quiet place to have lunch by yourself. The french onion soup is my go to there

Great Panera location and everyone working here is so nice. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Jasmin and Cody who were both working hard to keep the place nice. I also met Khalil who several times I’ve been in and he was so nice and professional plus working so hard. Love IT

Great service and friendly cashier, food tasted good, had a great portion, and soup was actually hot! Spacious interior too. One of the best Paneras I’ve been to.

The cashier, Kavion was really informative on the chicken Baja bowl which I had never tried. So I tried the bowl with a brownie , chips and drink. Something different, but I love salads. Reasonable price, but courtesy goes a long way

Best Panera I’ve ever been to, rarely mess up our order, always ready for pickup, food is actually good, staff is so friendly, I could go on!

I love my job I love my coworkers very very nice polite and respectful and the orders go out on time yes

Me and my bestie had a deliciousness of breakfast today! Really good, everybody balanced sausage, fresh eggs and cheese on their Asiago bagels! Oh my gosh so good! And the lemon cookie with white chocolate chips for a treat! Pure Yum!

I have a special needs child and the people vat this restaurant were more than kind to him. He really enjoyed their cookies and the manager gave him three.

These people WORK! I love ordering from this store!!! Fabulous Fabulous customer service. And fresh food is always delivered from this particular store on time, to my little gummy bear on his job ( while he is at work). Great selection of food that's served fresh..
Thanks so much for all your hard team work and insightful care for your customers.

So we went to Panera in Suffolk tonight. Pretty standard stuff right? Well, I would say above average here.
Turkey chili was absolutely delicious. Just the right amount of spice and zip. And piping hot. Plentiful big chunks of turkey, beans onion and tomato. Fantastic
Wife had the new Pepperoni and cheese baguette. Bread was toasted very well, the cheese was thick and plenty of pepperoni. The only thing she wished she had a side of sauce to dip it in. Apparently the tomato sauce that was on there a had soaked into the bread thus leaving her wishing she had a little more. However, she said it was delicious.
I had the Asian Chicken salad. Oh good lord. People let me tell you about this salad......At first look I must say I was rather apprehensive about eating it. It looked gorgeous but the kimchi set me aback a little. I'm not one for sour cabbage. I'm really not. However, after mixing the salad and combining all the flavors with the Asian dressing.....WOW!!!! What a flavor rush!!!! The sweetness of the dressing was tempered by the kimchi and brought out a whole new flavor profile of exhilaration on my taste buds that I wasn't expecting, but truly loved. The large chunks of both roasted and crispy chicken were to die for. Perfectly done, juicy, and flavorful on their own. The greens were so fresh and crisp even they were a joy to bite. But aside from all that, were the little crunchy strips that were mixed throughout the salad. That added the crunch texture I was hoping for. The spice, the flavor, the crunch, perfection in a bowl.
My hat is off to the crew at Panera Bread in Suffolk VA. You guys are top notch, and I'll definitely be back to try more masterpieces from you guys!!!!

Wow this place is so awesome this lady noelle was the sweetest she was very knowledgeable of the menu it was our first time and the food was delicious

Very clean place with a friendly and helpful staff. My mother has dietary restrictions and she was ordered a salad with dressing on it that contained ingredients she cannot have. The staff there found out what was in the dressing and replaced her salad without a single issue. My food was really good and so was the rest of my family's. It was a much needed good experience.

ALL the staff were friendly, happy, helpful & extremely kind. When I say all I mean the female cashier, the two ladies in the kitchen, the manager, I mean them all! As a vegan and a person with allergies they went to great links to accommodate me! I could not have expected better support from any restaurant!

I went in after having a seizure and I couldn’t quite do my normal stuff and I made a huge mess and I felt super bad. The food was good and quick and the people there made it sooo easy and didn’t make me feel bad for being a little off. I don’t normally from cooking and heal with a yummy salad and bright smiling friendly faces who didn’t even hesitate to jump on cleaning my mistake!! Just generally a genuinely positive experience from the entire staff and building that I haven’t had in Suffolk anywhere yet since I’ve moved here so I’m so happy to be able to write this review!!

Excellent spinach and bacon quiche! Just the right combination of crispy pastry and creamy goodness. Wonderful customer service.

I wanted to give a shout out to Morgan who works the drive-thru most mornings. She is so kind and never misses a beat! She knows who I am just by my order at the speaker and makes sure it’s correct! You go girl. Keep on rocking!

I did a catering order here the first week of May 2022 for 80 people. this was my first time. I ordered online and and did a la carte as some of the bundles offered was more than what we needed as well as out of our budget. My order was ready at the estimated time. The manager greeted me 8:00 in the morning with s big smile and super energy! I need to have what she had for breakfast. The items were packaged and ready to go when I got there. Another associate helped us take the items to the car and he was delightful as well. For the a little under $200 I literally had "catering in a box" lol (someone is going to patent that phrase). In addition to getting the order perfect, there were napkins, sweeteners, stirrers, cups, tops, cup holders, TONGS....yes there were plastic disposable tongs in the bag!!!! I think there were small plated in there as well. I have done a lot of breakfast orders at different places but Panera definitely understood the assignment!

I enjoyed my experience. The wait staff were friendly. I got the everything bagel. It was toasted. I enjoyed it by adding plain cream cheese.

The food was delicious and they gave a generous amount. They make the best squash soup and always have! I also had one of their newer items, a Mediterranean-style grain bowl with hummus. The food came quickly and the presentation was lovely. No skimping on the good stuff. There's been a change for the better. I'll be returning more often now.
