Panera Bread - Etobicoke, Ontario

The service and staff at this Panera have been absolutely incredible and so patient with me. I have never been to a Panera before, Adriana was so kind and helped me navigate the menu and brought all my food to me! I will definitely return to Panera. My food is ... delicious and my iced chocolate mocha drink sitch is fantastic. Read more

Panera here is nothing like the U.S. The food was overpriced for the quality and quantity. My Buffalo chicken melt sandwich barely had any chicken in it. The French onion soup had too much half-cooked onion and had fresh-cut bread inside instead of soaked bread.

I always get the mac and cheese, the chicken on a nan was good when they use to have it. Seems they are getting rid of their food and bringing in easier faster stuff to make to compete. The Pizza is just ok. They could clean there dishes more thoroughly.

This was our first time at Panera Bread. Our experience was lackluster. We ordered and split a Large BBQ Chicken Sandwich and opted for a bag of chips (opposed to a choice of apple or more bread). We also ordered two bottomless coffees. Our total bill came to $20, which to ... us seemed like a lot for a sandwich, bag of chips, and two drip coffees. For food value, we felt like the meal came up short. Also, this sandwich had cheese on it, which was not noted on the board -- a surprise welcomed by cheese lovers but not by the lactose intolerant. We did enjoy the fact that this is the kind of restaurant where you get left alone. If you are a new mom, senior, or student, this is the kind of local where you can spend countless hours reading or relaxing with a cup of coffee and just go about your business without being bothered by staff. There is an ample amount of seating where you can sit, work or just relax. The ebb and flow of customers is slow and steady, and customers are not pressured to leave. I can't tell if it's because that's the restaurant's vibe or if no one actually cares that you are there. It is reminiscent of the coffee houses of the 1990s. Lastly, there was an alarm that went off near the front door for over an hour. It is just ridiculous to expect staff and customers to listen to this horrible noise. If the security system isn't working, just turn it off or call someone to repair it. To avoid it, grab seating opposite the front door. Read more

Brunch with a client , got Mediterranean sandwich veggie with baguette as side . It tasted good but took super long to get it ready and even forgot to give baguette. Indoor was not allowed to sit even when its open now so ended up sitting outside patio .
