Panera Bread - Oakville, Ontario

Food is tasteless and portion sizes are tiny. Worse than airline food. While the staff were fine, the prices compared to the quality/quantity of food is a very bad deal. Not sure if Panera bread overall has fallen in terms of quality of it’s just this location.

First visit to Panera bread and the place is beautifully designed. Very spacious and clean. Ordered their green goddess sandwich with a side of bread. Both were good. You order and pay first, select the your cozy corner, will be given a buzzer and need to collect from a separate ... section. I liked the vibe of this place and would definitely be going back to try more menu items. 👍👍 Read more

Soup bowl is a little empty for the price, sandwich had great ingredients but careless eleven assembly. There was a young gentleman behind the counter that was super considerate and provided quality customer service. Panera points were down which is a shame. Got one pick 2, two coffees and another ... bowl of soup and paid $35 all-in. Location is clean and inviting. Read more

Panera used to be one of my favorite places for a quick lunch. Unfortunately, the quality keeps going down through the years. During my most recent visit I noticed they changed baguettes from crispy delicious proper French baguettes to a bun resembling a baguette only in shape and tasting worse ... than wonder bread. Salads are their best item these days, avoid sandwiches and skip soups which are oily and not very tasty. Read more

Whenever I come into town, I usually eat at least once at Panera. Food is good, (not everything is deep fried) decently priced, and I can get it to go. Unfortunately, this time, my experience was less than stellar. Ordered the chicken melt green goddess... when I got to ... where I was going, I opened my sandwich only to discover there was no chicken in my chicken sandwich. It was basically the most unappealing and least filled sandwich I have ever had there. I was honestly surprised as normally I am impressed with how great the sandwiches are. We did get the broccoli soup, and that was good. For drinks, we got the strawberry banana smoothie, which was tasty, and the blood orange splash, which was more like lightly flavoured water. (I liked it, but my companion said it was too bland and not sweet enough). Overall, though disappointed at this outing. Read more
