  1. This Panera is one of the best on the island. Sometimes, the line is pretty lengthy but they move the line quickly. This is my go to Panera bread! Perfect location and nice parking lot.

  2. I like Panera. The spicy Thai chicken salad is delicious! And who can go wrong with a broccoli cheddar soup!

    The lines get crazy sometimes but they're usually fast cleaning the tables and getting the food out.

    Deff one of my favorite locations.

  3. I love Panera especially their broccoli cheddar soup and asiago bread.  I came here yesterday after an interview in the area.   It tasted the same as the other Panera's I've been to but their service definitely left some thing to be desired.   The employees basically congregate in the corner and talk to each other and took awhile before they helped out the three of us that was standing in line.  Then when they finally made their way back to the cash register, they acted as if it was a huge inconvenience that we were there to make them work.  I did not appreciate that.   Parking was super easy as they have a big parking lot which was a plus.    I would come back for their food and not their service.

  4. I do occasionally enjoy Panera Bread. However, this location has to be the worst I've ever been to. I only went here because I was two doors down at Bob's and I was hungry.

    First of all I don't like really going to Panera because I feel like it's extremely overpriced for their portions. I also feel like they are very slow and the long lines anywhere is overwhelming and annoying.

    This visit was on a Wednesday evening and I'm assuming because it's close to the mall that it will always pretty much have a lengthy line. But considering all of that, they should either have more people working to accommodate their crowds.

    I ordered a youpick2 sandwich & soup. A pasta and cup of soup as well with a large iced green tea and spent $27. After waiting on line over 10-15 I left with my food in the bag. By the time I got home and opened the pasta it was about half full. Absolutely not worth $9. And the sodium between  everything I ordered had to exceed a weeks worth of your daily intake. I mean just a ridiculous amount of salt!

    I just might have to stay away from Panera. It seems like the healthy option but I believe majority of their menu is laden with crap and overpriced. I would not be coming back at all.

  5. You can have breakfast for lunch at Panera as long as they still have things left in the bakery. I tried the cinnamon crunch bagel today. Asked the very friendly girl to toast it for me. The bagel was so doughy with a cinnamon swirl in the middle of it. On the top of my hot bagel is a sugary cinnamon crunchy topping. Tastes great with melted butter and a side of hot hazelnut coffee. You need a bit of a sweet tooth to enjoy this bagel.

  6. This place is really good for lunch! Always clean, fast and the staff is very friendly. The pick 2 option is great whenever you cannot decide between two options. You get to pick both!

  7. I am rounding this up to 3 stars, because I really want to give it 2.5 but that's not an option.

    My experience at the new Panera Bread in Glen Cove gave me hopes that all are created equal. Oh how wrong I was. I ordered the exact same Asian salad with chicken and the special turkey sandwich with apples etc, blah blah. This meal today was absolutely nothing like the meal I enjoyed in a Glen Cove.

    First off let's talk salad. Were be the chicken and where be the salad? Barely any Asian dressing (I asked for more), the noodles were few and far between and the edamame were missing all together. This salad had a few slices of almonds and that was it.

    Now the turkey sandwich…mushy. The apple slaw stuff they put in the sandwich totally ruined the bread. This thing was so sticky wet that I deconstructed it and put all of the middle parts into my salad. Doing the remodel on my salad made eating it a bit more tolerable.

    Mango tea just like all the rest of their teas, weak.

    This visit I did score a free pastry, so I choose the chocolate chip cookie at the recommendation of Demari the cashier. He said he eats them all the time and they are delicious.  Not real sure where Demari has set the bar
    on "good" cookies but this cookie was horrible. Maybe it was gluten free, lactose free and nut free, I don't know but whoever made this needs to go back to cookie making school 101.  I kept eating this stupid cookie thinking maybe it would get better, I know STUPID! What's even more stupid is that people actually buy these things and like them.

    There was one positive thing this evening, the parents that do not pay attention to their annoying children were in the back of the restaurant. There's a little rumble in the back so that you know they are there, but it's not so much were you want tell the parents they must be so proud of their little darlings behavior.  Too soon?

  8. I like this spot a lot. I always get half a panini and a broccoli and cheddar soup which are so delicious. I love their broccoli cheddar soup because it's not super salty just perfectly made.

    My only qualm about this place is that it's always packed which goes to show how good the food is but not so great for my lunch time. Lol. I come here maybe 2-3 times a month for lunch when I have the extra time to spend on line.
