My girls and I grabbed a quick late breakfast here. Since none of us are real breakfast food people I was thrilled that the entire menu was available. My older daughter and I ordered from the pick 2 menu. I got a cup of broccoli cheddar soup and 1/2 a steak and white cheddar Panini. My daughter got a cup of chicken noodle soup and a classic salad, which she said both were really good. My youngest daughter got a chocolate pastry which she loved. I tried a bite, it was good but super sweet. It had chocolate in the middle and I thought it would probably be fantastic if you got this and heated it just enough to make the chocolate melt. The total was only about $20 for the 3 of us. I have not been to a Panera in over a year, I don't know why, since I always seem to enjoy it. So I don't know if this is something new that they are doing or if it is unique to this location, but we were given a pager to wait for our order. Before the pager even went off a staff member brought our food to the table for us. I am not the most dexterous person in the world and I always get nervous about spilling the soup when carrying the tray, so I appreciated this. Plus I always hated waiting around by the counter waiting for my order. My younger daughter forgot to order a drink and I had already paid, the manager waved away my offer to pay and gave her a cup and the drink for free. She also offered us a rewards card and told us you get a free pastry just for signing up, which I am going to do because I really enjoyed our visit. If you forget to use your rewards card there is a number on the receipt that you can enter on their website to get credit for your visit. The broccoli cheddar soup was just as delicious as I remembered. The steak sandwich was really, really good too. The steak was super tender, and it had just a touch of horseradish on it that kind of makes you stop and wonder what it was that you just tasted. The Panini was perfectly crisp and it is served on top of a piece of corrugated cardboard so the bottom doesn't get soggy, nice touch! The only thing negative I could say is that I didn't love the caramelized onions, they were ok, maybe just a bit too sweet for my taste. Other than that it was a better experience than I expected when I walked in which was a nice surprise. This is the first 5 star review I have written. There are 2 restaurants in the same parking lot that I really love and have been wanting to visit again so I can review them, Thai Shokun, and Chris' Taverna. I thought for sure one of them would be my first 5 star review because in the past both were excellent. What a surprise it was that my first 5 star review went to a chain restaurant, they defiantly earned it today.

I love Panera and I enjoy eating at this location. They are very welcoming and super clean. My favorite item on the menu is the Green tea and the tasty cheese pastry.

I really like this Panera Bread compare to others. Why? Because they bring the food out to your table! You don't have to worry about dropping that tray with the hot soup or people crowding your food while they are waiting for theirs. The staffs are very patient with indecisive people like me. The place is clean when I am there. Food is standard according to all Panera Bread stores and the portion is good. I've been to other Panera Bread in which my sandwich is not 1/2 but more like 1/4. I would go back for more.

We've been here about three times and for some reason have always experienced a problem. Things like the wifi will be out, out of bread bowls, lukewarm soup, etc... We live close by so it kind of killed it for us along with the high prices. Somehow we always end of paying like $25 for two people and are still hungry when we leave from little portions. My wife and I typically feel slighted about something at panera every time we go so we've pretty much just given up on it. Recommend going trying a different location or another restaurant all together.

I was in the area and decided to give this location a try. It was clean and spacious. If you eat in, they'll bring your food to you. I picked two for lunch. Bacon turkey bravo half sandwich and macaroni and cheese was great. I got the sandwich without the veggies and it was topped with cheese as well. I can never have enough cheese. A toffee nut cookie was added to the plate for a sweet dessert. Plus, they give you a piece of bread with the meal. Another weakness of mine. Good going, Panera.

This is a review of all Paneras....you're food is good, you're service is nonchalant but my biggest knock on the place is the size of the portions. I don't mind paying your prices if I'm getting perceived value and at Panera's, I never get that. The food...It's tasty but not enough of it to justify the price...too many other choices out there to keep going back. Sayonara Panera!

I was leary first because this Panera was located in the back of shopping center and hard to find. I ordered the grilled chicken ceaser salad, it arrived at my table minus the croutons in addition the lettuce was not looking so fresh with dark spots as if it were spoiling. So I returned to the counter for the croutons, $9.00 later I was thinking I could have gone across the street and purchased the same salad at Publix for half the price. Overpriced is my opinion.

Having a child growing inside me, I must say Panera Bread is a great go-to when all other mentions of food make you nauseous. Due to my distaste for cancer food (sodium nitrate and nitrites) I stick to the veggie options here. I love the Mediterranean sandwich on French baguette. The fuji chicken salad is also yummy (minus the chicken). An added bonus is if you manage to get there when they have freshly baked French baguette. Nothing beats getting served a nice warm piece of bread to go along with your meal!

Big fan of Panera. So today my mom and I went out of way to find one on the way back from the airport. We were surprised and delighted to see there was on in Lantana, FL. Showed up around 2pm. I'm surprised to not see a panera bread crazy busy....it must be the location. I ordered my usual. 'You pick 2' --- Caesar sandwich with broccoli cheddar soup, Ice Green tea, and because she offered, got a 99 cent pastry. Yumm. My mom's cashier didn't offer even though she wanted it. Cashiers need to be consistent. They delivered our food which was nice. The soups were both very thin for what I'm use to. The sandwich was excellent. The tea was refreshing as always. The pastry was fresh. What disappointed me was the service/ staff. The cashiers were not friendly (and doesn't offer promotions). The gentleman ran the food before it was ready and my mom got only half her order. He seemed very confused and tried to fix it but it was a hassle. The girl who delivered the food for a table next to us was very dry. They asked her for butter and instead of grabbing it for them she pointed and told them they could grab it themselves. Overall, fake service or lack thereof. I work in fast-casual and I know how you should treat you guests (esp. when it's so slow). Think about it so you can start building relationships and getting regulars.

Difficult to find in a shopping plaza. Big place. The staff is pedestrian, made me hang up after holding for 6 minutes. When I went there the female is busy talking to her colleague. Portions are small more like a sample. Thanks but no thanks
