Panera bread is always nice to go to for lunch on weekdays. Not busy, Less Calorie food, Inexpensive, Vegan/Vegetarian options. I really love their creamy tomato soup.

I love panera bread and their rapid pick up esp when I'm on the go. Their Mediterranean sandwhich is my fave! It's so light and flavorful.

Standard Panera fare which is not as good as it was a couple of years ago. Today I opted for a pick two with half a sandwich and soup. I don't know if they store the bowls outside in the sub zero temperatures but the soup was not even hot. If you opt for one of their preconfigured panini sandwiches you have to live with the full ingredients as they are pre-made. This location in particular is over-run with mommies with young kids, largely due to the swim school across the mall hallway. Your best bet if you want to avoid some of the cacophony from the kids you should seek shelter behind the divider near the exterior entrance. This location also does not stock packets of Tabasco as the other SLP location does, which meant that I didn't enjoy my not-hot soup at all.

Stopped by for lunch today. Ordered the turkey bacon bravo sandwich and a both of chicken wild rice soup. First, I have no idea why I did not do the pick two, for I ordered a lot of food. I normally know better. The sandwich was wonderful. I particularly like the bread it was served on. I didn't make my own bread selection, but rather stuck with the bread they match the sandwich with. I enjoyed the soup, but I must say, there was no hint of any wild rice in the big bowl. That caught me as a bit misleading, though as I said, it was still good soup. That is why this cannot be a 5 rating.

I LOVE that we finally get a panera with a drive thru. It's too bad the staff is terrible. I have gotten multiple and I mean MULTIPLE order wrong. Drink and food combined. They do not live up to Panera standards at all as far as food quality and how the food is built. No pickle with a sandwich is normal getting chips in star of the apple you ordered...I could go on

Pick Two menu has been re-designed by the new pricing system, the meal on average is about $2 more expensive than before. Sometimes the panini sandwich (chicken frontega used to be my all time favorite) taste like it was made long time ago and being reheated in the microwave. The quality of food doesn't justify the cost increase. It's sad. This location is inside Knollwood mall, be ready for some delays due to the reconstruction of the mall and its parking lot.

Chai tea is the best here! Good sandwiches and we loved the round table with a half bench.

Just take my wallet Panera. I work here on weekends regularly so much that the staff recognizes me at some point. It is a bit sad but i love this specific site! They have ample seating, long tables for groups, small booths for people who do not like people, and most importantly, many many many electrical outlets! #winning. I am very predictable and almost always get coffee + bagel and spread, or tuna sandwich with cup of soup. generally this place is pretty clean. The only caveat is that they have children (which I typically love), LEFT BEHIND by parents. Occasionally, I see parents who make their preschool/elementary-school-age child sit and watch some show on their iPad for over 4-5 hours (longer than my stay). More shocking, when parents ALLOW their children to drink full 16 oz iced coffee during these several hours. These hyperactive children then run around (literally run around) the place. On other occasions, parents leave their young children unattended to eat their lunch here while they shop next-door. Although I do love panera, these instances peeve me because I feel that some staff should note to parents the liability and danger of leaving their child unattended at a "fast food" restaurant. But, I do recognize that it is not necessarily their responsibility to do it. Other than the occasional overactive child running around eating sugar or 10 mustard packets, this place is golden. #trueevent #weirdparents #weirdchildren #wtfmoments One of the best paneras around!

Panera, is Panera, is Panera, right? Wrong. This particular location is insanely busy - seemingly all the time - slow service from start to finish every time I have ever been here. For the business luncher, this is a big problem, and I have, on more than one occasion, had to cram food down my throat as fast as possible, can't be late getting back to work after all. I cannot say enough good things about their food though, everything on the menu is delicious and has something for everyone, even the picky eater. They also get a big plus from me for listing calories right on the menu. Warning for you folks dining here, the 'back door' by the soda machine locks when you exit...so don't try to get back in through there, you can't. I used to use that door all the time to get refills when you sit on the indoor patio, now you have to go all the way around, through the crowds of people. A plus for this location is the availability of several stores, it is a mall after all. So if you are a woman (or man) of leisure, spend some time shopping after eating. I definitely love Panera and still frequent this one, but just allow yourself more time, or take your food to-go. So Panera, while you have my heart and would get a 5 star rating - this particular location is knocked down to only 3 stars purely because its so busy....which could also be seen as a positive. Busy = good food, usually!

These people are pretty stupid and/or blind. They missed half on order that was right in front of their face. It was a rapid pickup, therefore I didn't notice. The food I did get was good but very disappointed in my rapid pick-up

I came here with my one year old nanny boy. I had my hands full with him and the staff carried all of our food to our table. They were great! I also LOVE the my panera rewards card. I got a free smoothie this time! I will definitely be coming back to this location more often! Great job! And excellent food!

Always willing to go here for the great food, I love the black bean soup and the Greek salad. My kids are a fan of it too.

I love Panera for the wide range of fresh, ingredient based dishes. I usually order of the "Pick 2" menu which allows you to choose two half-sized items from their cafe salads, sandwiches, and soups. There are so many options! This cafe is always clean, the staff is friendly, and there is a definite cozy vibe. This is a popular spot to share a meal with friends or family but is also comfortable if you are dining solo (like I am today). The coffee here is excellent. I drop in here often for a latte or some dark roast goodness.

I can't get enough of this place! I just wanna take a fat baby and squeeze her cheeks, cos that's what I feel when I eat here! I fell in love with their Mediterranean Vegetarian sandwich. Something about the sweetened bell peppers and the unforgettable, spicy sauce. The crunchy cucumbers, fresh lettuce and tomatoes all sandwiched in a tomato basil bread. MY NEW FAVE. Sweet, spicy and delicious!
