  1. Despite the "official" listed policy that they limit your stay (and they limit your wifi access) to 30 minutes only during the "busy hours" of 11-2, the surly, impolite, (and completely unidentifiable by his attire) manager will apparently still take it upon himself to come gruffly suggest you vacate your table whenever he feels like it.  Whether you've finished your meal or not.  Get your story straight Panera- sheesh.

  2. came here on a monday at around 7pm and they had run out of salad. seriously…Panera Bread ran out of salad. I was extra pissed because this was my first week of trying to go meatless and with no salad to tide me over i couldnt resist and got the steak and cheese sandwich which was pretty good but a little small. I just think it was nuts than  place like this can run out of salad.

  3. Panera's food is always satisfying, since, like most chains, it has a generic taste from location to location.

    This location is nice because they have a relatively good amount of seating.  However, the customer service here is pretty bad. They have managed to make mistakes on most of my orders here (especially to-go orders) so make sure you check to see that you received the correct food and ALL of the food before you leave. The team is also a little rude — usually making you feel like their mistake was YOUR mistake.

    But overall, you're most likely coming for some quick, good food, rather than customer service, so I guess you get what you pay for!

  4. Unfriendly. Over priced from other Panera's I've been to. They serve all their food as to-gos, which I get because it's Manhattan, but such a waste.
    They also used the same Turkey meat they put in the Fiji Apple Chicken Salad, in my Turkey BLT sandwich. I don't know if that's how it's suppose to be served but I feel it should be different.

  5. Came here for a quick bite to eat. I ordered at the counter, not from one of the do-it-yourself kiosks. I ordered the soba noodle salad and a drink. The problem was, the person taking my order neglected to tell me they ran out of spinach. I didn't find this out until someone was preparing my food. It would have been nice to know that when I placed my order, as I probably would have ordered something else had I known.

    They also pack everything to-go, even if you are eating there.

  6. I've visited this branch countless times!

    Let's get the obvious out of the way: this branch gets PACKED. Why? Because it's smack in the middle of Union Square (obviously). There isn't much they can do about it besides build a second floor and that probably will not happen, so if you have a fear of taking your food elsewhere or waiting a little for a table to clear, then don't come here during rush hours! It's pretty simple people.

    Besides this, I think this is a great branch! The cashiers and food preparers are always super kind and attentive. The bathrooms are usually fairly clean (and they only let customers use them).

    One time my order was incorrect, and they not only doubled it but offered me a pastry. Although it can get crowded, the wifi is always usually working well and it's never overly loud.

    Good, inexpensive food if you're in the area and want a quick lunch.

  7. Kind of dirty for a Panera Bread. Not one of their best locations for sure.

    The staff is pretty grumpy but you get your food pretty fast. I normally order at the kiosk so I can avoid further interaction, and grab a seat if I see one.

    Perhaps, the only Panera that has ever given me a stomach ache. 🙁
    Only go there if you absolutely must.

  8. Very convenient location. Accessible by the subway.
    The food is okay. Nothing different than other locations. The service is good. The staff is friendly.
