Recently had catered breakfast from Panera and was blown away by the breakfast soufflés! I was disheartened when I heard we were having Quiche… but when I saw the soufflés I did a quick double take and grabbed 2! They were SOOOGOOD! But I forgot all about them until I stopped into Panera this weekend for breakfast when my usual go to place was packed! I was so happy to see this item on the breakfast menu and it was just as good as I remembered it at our catered breakfast. I also got the Steel Cut Oatmeal, which is hearty and healthy, and an iced tea. Another plus… I plugged in my phone number for the«Panera card» and found out I had a free birthday pastry waiting for me ;) Chocolate Croissant please! It was a nice alternative to eating breakfast in a diner\restaurant. Felt no rush to turn over the table, grabbed a free refill at my leisure, and had a very relaxing breakfast. No doubt I’ll be back! Employees were friendly and helpful. The manager on duty was pretty good, particularly for a younger guy. Good people skills and a good attitude go a long way. Do note, the PICKUP area is not visible from the ORDER area. Just keep walking to the back of the store and you will find the self serve soft drinks\iced tea and the food pickup area.

This is definitely one of the better Panera’s I’ve come across. Lately I’ve been doing the pickup service and they are super fast! I also highly recommend the new chicken broth bowl — perfect for the cold weather blues and great with a little siracha!

$ 6.70 for a Mediterranean Sandwich is too much. Between 2 pcs. of bread is a piece of lettuce, 1 slice of tomato, 2 rings of onions, 2 slices of cucumber and some crumbly cheese. And mind you, the slices of bread is smaller than the regular slices we are used to. I will not order this again.

Great lunch or dinner spot. This is the first Panera I ever went to. Staff is friendly. It’s always busy here. I usually get a you pick two, and choose a salad and sandwich which are both great. I have tried a lot of the different sandwiches and paninis and they’re all really good. I also love their pastries and bagels. Panera bread is a little pricy but way better food than going to a typical fast food place. The last time we went the wait for our food was very long, they seemed to be understaffed. The location is clean. Also, free wifi.

Wifi doesn’t work! Can’t work here. The food is very good. Coffee should be better even if it meant that it’s no longer free refill.

This place is always busy, but I can always find a table. There are a few students/adults that seem to camp out here for hours, but there are plenty of people passing through. The food is always hot and fresh. I love the pick 2 options and the soba noodle bowls(Japanese buckwheat noodles in an Asian inspired broth). Also, the bread. And honey walnut cream cheese(it’s a must for a whole wheat bagel). If you’ve even been to a Panera, you know the drill. Order up front and pick up at the farther window. It’s really not a hard concept, so I don’t know why people complain.

Its Panera. The reason I give this Panera 5 starts is because I am here 3 – 4 times a week and they always are freindly and have never messed up my order. The food quality is the same as every other Panera I have been to. This one is well ran.

The staff is monotone. The order/pickup situation is kind of weird. This was my first time at a Panera and I didn’t know that I was supposed to pickup my food when my name was called and it wasn’t clear that the pickup station was in the back(hard to even see back there). Someone called my name fast and low over a speaker and I ventured to the back hoping to find my food. Staff should tell customers their name will be called and the pick up area is in the back. Food was good though! I was a bit confused as to why my bread bowl came with a baguette(SO much bread!?!) but I’m not complaining about that because I LOVE bread!!!

Food still sucks. I’ve had better bagels from the freezer case. Came in because I had 15 minutes to kill before the store I was going to opened. What a mistake. I’d be better off sitting in the car

I typically have had good experiences at this panera. Recently I called to ask a simple question and was greeted very rude and disrespectfully before the man who had answered hung up on me without even answering my question. I do not appreciate the way I was treated and do not plan on returning to this panera again.

Panera is panera Came here for lunch at around 1 pm while I was getting my car serviced across the street. It was busy but service was still good and I was able to find a table with no prob! Free wifi is always nice too:)

It’s Panera, so you know what to expect. This Panera, however, is one of the busier ones I have ever been to. Around lunch on a weekday, the line can easily be 15 – 20 deep, so keep that in mind. Good food, good coffee, I love their breakfast sandwiches. I hate most chains but Panera is a major exception. I am a big fan.

Unbelievable wonderful staff here. I came in at 7:30am and even though it was early and pretty quiet they were extremely nice. They didn’t have the soup out yet because it was too early in the morning(who orders soup before 10am?) but when I asked if I could have that they brought it right out. I came back to my table because I assumed it would take a few minutes and next thing I know they are hand delivering it to my table. These guys are unbelievable. Thanks so much for making my early morning this much better!

Having lunch at Panera right this minute. The lobster sandwich is good, but way overpriced.

I never bother to give Unilocal ratings to chain businesses, because I figure that people already know what they’re getting when they go to Oliva Garden, Chipotle or, say, Panera. So I’m assuming that you all know about the general quality and flavor of the foods. But I wanted to give a shout out to this particular Panera for having a really excellent staff. I’m a semi-regular — not enough that anyone recognizes me, but enough that I know most of the staff by sight — and they really are terrific. Friendly, helpful, cheerful, hardworking. Props especially to Will and Vincent. So: Five stars for what it is: This Panera is as good as it gets in the universe of semi-cheap, semi-fast food.

Panera in the Wynnewood shopping center is a good choice for lunch if you are in the area. Their soups, salads and sandwiches are always tasty and fresh. The food comes fast and is a good value. This is also just a good place to hangout, do work on a laptop, or meet a friend for coffee.

You can never go wrong with panera! I am a huge fan of their half salad, half sandwich meal. It’s always delicious. I get half a classic salad, and half a tomato, basil, mozzarella sandwich. The sandwich is grilled and warm and delicious. And the salad is always light, crisp and fresh.
