Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"During my visit, I experience good customer service. This is actually my second time visiting this Panera location and asking about a Vegan option. An employee suggests a custom sandwich order which consists of Avocado, cucumbers, greens, and onions. The sandwich comes with a surprise, a random hint of jam, which offers a sweet flavor I appreciate in the sandwich and that I actually want more of with every passing bite without it. The chips are tasty, light enough to eat a bag or two."
"I always enjoy going to this location. I haven't had a bad experience & the customer service is amazing. Monica who works the morning shift is my absolute Favorite. She's always kind & smiling & greets everyone! Today I went for my monthly sandwich & I get the Mediterranean Veggie sandwich. Whoever made me sandwich today, so, so good lol."
"I came here for dinner and got a BYO pick 2 and all of this was only 10 bucks! I ate in and had my food delivered to me. I didn't know they did that! I really liked the new system where you can place your order on a touch screen station and use a pager so the server knows where to bring the meal. Really lovely staff here and quick service. Very busy the whole night but plenty of space to sit and relax while chatting with friends."
"This is for the West Orange location. Great staff and service. I always get my all time favorite salad to go. Decided to dine-in. This is their fuji apple salad with chicken (whole, not half) and a side of baguette. The meal was absolutely beautiful and perfect. It was a gorgeous day and this made it even better. PAUSE. Sadly, had a disappointing find in my salad. For what looked like molded greens. Management was very courteous and tried to right the wrong. I was more bummed about not finishing the salad. Took a couple of days off from my fave. I'll be back..TBD"
"Nice location and good food. Not much more that you could want! I typically have a chicken caesar salad and a strawberry banana smoothie. It's never failed me. Occasionally, I also have the broccoli cheddar soup and a pecan braid, both of which I can recommended as well. Update: tried their new egg sandwich, and it was just ok."
"The Mediterranean bowl was amazing! The vanilla almond cold brew is delicious as well. Oh! For the love of cookies! The lemon drop cookie is addictive. The staff is friendly and the service is great."
"Really clean and nice panera bread. Hot coffee and they keep it well stocked. Good food and fast service. My favorite pit stop on my commute from the city!"
"PanevaBread in Essex Green was a good experience. Honestly I would rather eat inside because I love the vibe but I used the Rapid Pick Up. The service was easy and the Rapid pick up was ready fast! You can pick up according to the last name you ordered by. There are three shelves and the food is placed in a closed and sealed bag. I would suggest bringing your bag to a table just to be sure everything you ordered was inside.The soups were still hot when I arrived home and the adorable pink tulip cookie was delicious! My favourite is the broccoli cheddar soup....its just so delicious!"
