Panera Bread

I have been reluctant to go into Panera Bread Restaurants due to the decline of the staffs and food at many I have visited recently but, this one has gone a long way in building my trust back up. Francesca (spelled differently) was engaging, friendly, personable, professional, and a joy to be served by. The food was really good especially the turkey chili. The preparation of the food was great and the staff there was also friendly and professional.
Will go back overtime we are in Gainesville.

Panera Bread on Archer Rd is awesome! The soup/sandwich option was great! Very Pricey. Paid $33 for 2 bowls of soup, 2 half sandwiches, a small drink and small coffee. Yikes!

I really enjoyed my experience at this Panera. The food was prepared quickly and tasted very good. I love this setup and the Ambiance of the restaurant. The employees were very friendly and whenever we told one of them that their coffee was cold, she went into the kitchen and brewed us another pot! Definitely would recommend visiting this place.

Veggie Sandwich and Squash soup was good. Squash soup was a little sweet for me. Nice location. Plenty of tables. Busy place.

Great food and very popular. However, parking was a problem on this Saturday visit.

Jeremiah was excellent. he went above and beyond for us during our visit. Helped us and was so kind and polite. You guys have a good employee with him! He is exceptional!

Stopped in for a quick breakfast meeting. The food was exactly the way that I ordered it. They have a wide selection of drinks and the staff was extremely friendly. The menu had a lot choices, all of which looked good.

Absolutely wonderful restaurant and bakery. A very wide selection, the desserts are delicious, fast and friendly service, impeccable cleanliness and the staff is incredibly polite. Jeremiah is very knowledgeable with the App, and was patient and kind while he walked me through the process. Ellie is excellent on front counter and always has a smile and terrific manners. The only bakery in town that I will ever visit. 10/10 Would recommend.

Great food, great service. Very timely. Had person working on their job on the phone very loudly, the place was very quite. She was not. Most that had laptops had earbuds in she open mic on phone. Still nice place and they keep the tables clean had someone going around cleaning but not whipping all of them down. Still would return.

Love that they start with great ingredients. We focus on their soups, salads, and sandwiches, so I cannot comment on drinks or desserts. Great free internet, which matters a lot to some.

I love Panera bread! There’s nothing like the calming atmosphere that they can effortlessly make. If you have an exam to study for or just want to relax, order your favorite meal, grab a cookie and find a nice spot in the corner.

I love this place do much. Amazing caffeinated drinks. Helps me stay focused when needed.
Food is amazing too.

Update -
Since I posted my original review, the store has been more precise with how they handle orders. They did start to slice my bagels for me, but also the espresso drinks have been more carefully made, it feels like.

I've been there three times in a row when I've ordered a bagel for breakfast with crab cheese. The last three times my bagel came unsliced. I had suspected The Bagel slicing machine was only there for decoration. Now I have conclusive proof.

I do wish they had one. I was cutting mine with the butter knife which was better than cutting it with the spoon but only slightly better.

I had breakfast here. Awesome food great coffee.

I love their bagels and coffee. I get fast and great service everytime I visit Panera Bread Archer road.

Always something new mixed in with the familiar offerings. Tried the new 4 cheese flatbread and was pleasantly surprised. Have always enjoyed the casual atmosphere and today was no exception. Overall, another very pleasant experience enjoying quality food in a positively energized environment.

Food was very good and service was fast. I will definitely eat here again. The Southwest Chile Lime Ranch Salad with Chicken was very good. My friend also enjoyed the Pick 2 Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt and French Onion Soup.

Happy vegan!!!! They have almond milk out now- YAAAAAAY!! I use to ask for it all the time. I appreciate this!!

My favorite fast food restaurant. Love them. Their bacon egg sandwich was outstanding

I've gone to this Panera many times and have really enjoyed the experience. The staff is always nice and friendly, and the food has always tasted good. I enjoy the coffee and drink choices as well as the atmosphere and free Wi-Fi. It's definitely a go-to for places to read and do homework since you get free refills.
