Reviews of Panera Bread (Bakery)

Jessica Lynn

So delicious!!!! Nice quiet place to enjoy some lunch !

MacKenzie Kerr (MaKaveli9191)

One word. Delicious! I've ate at 5 other Panera's besides this one and I haven't been disappointed once. Their meals are a little pricey but you're paying for quality.

Will Clairmont

My wife loves this place, I just follow along

S O

Delicious but expensive. The staff are really helpful.

Samantha F

The food is fresh and portion sizes are decent. The flavours aren't as rich as they used to be but are still quite tasty. This location is very busy during lunch hour so try to go at off peak times. Bakery items are usually delightful.

John

Dependable and decent food. They're trying hard to please in trying times!

Alicia McDonald

I love this place. I wish they were open later

Christian Lévesque

(Translated) The best place to eat while going to Toronto! (Original) La meilleure place pour manger en allant à Toronto !

Evan

Always has very good food, the Mac & Cheese is the greatest thing on the menu. The staff work very hard to serve customers to their best ability.

Mary Wlotzka

Great food

Hayden Baker

Awesome food, great service. They were very busy yet they got our food to us within a few minutes! 9/10

Meerabharathy vks (மீராபாரதி)

Love the food

Metal Tiger

Great coffee!

Jon Turner

Decent food. Way overpriced though and unable to find a seat.

Chelsea Burnell

Nice service but exceptionally disappointed in my sandwich. Had the same one several days ago in the US which was 10/10 and this was 1/10. Wish I had taken my receipt as I would have gone in to complain. Grilled cheese with bacon and tomato. Had 2 tiny tomatoes, 2 small bacon strips and could hardly see the cheese. Yikes!

Henry Cheng

My wild chicken soup was too creamy

Orane BLANC

Average quality. Not much of a bakery! In the middle of the outlets stores.

Naininder Singh Dhillon

Spicy chicken Thai salad, excellent.

Stephen Gotkin

The soup is fantastic!

James

Over prised by a mile for what you get. Dinner menu at 5pm was out of most items. Again sticker price was a huge shock. Healthy eating shouldn't cost this much. Made me feel sick for spending so much

Patricia Rochon

It's always really good food here there's no doubt about that. Portion size isn't that great for the price that you pay though. And I must say my experience today in the Drive-Thru, I bought four items which costed me $46. I was fine with …

Devinder Thiara

Like the food, but it's very expensive for what you get. The staff did not do a good job of explaining what my options were in terms of combos. Ended up ordering a full grilled cheese and large bowl of soup. With the sides of a piece of bread and a small apple it was $20 with a drink. Even with reward points it's way too much for a casual meal.

Victoria Dyson

Always our "fast food" stop! Great place, food has never been dissatisfying and its fast!!!!

will wilson

Good food but the service is very slow

Paige Smith

food is pretty hit or miss, it's either great or seems passed it's best before date.. I don't think I've ever gotten a salad that doesn't have brown lettuce, or even a baguette that wasn't hard as a rock..

Mike Willis

Great taste and selection but small portion sizes

J D W

Always great food.

Penny Brown

Turkey BLT avocado sandwich was awesome. Fresh and flavourful. Broccoli cheddar soup was hot and creamy. Chocolate croissant was full of chocolate. Please the staff were super friendly.

Claudia Labrosse

(Translated) Delicious orange scones! (Original) Délicieux scones à l'orange !

David Poole

The food was fresh and fast.

Vernon Simkins

Tasty food, decent place to grab a bite to eat. Can be a little pricier than expected though.

Ranjith Chennarapu

Good ambience and food tastes great !!

Tim Maw

Food was decent. Service?? Well there really wasn't any service. I particularly loved cleaning off my table so I could eat there NOT! Not a big fan of getting my own food and drinks and bringing it to my table. That's me though

mrsmgrp

Yum.....and super clean

Deanna Huff

Typical Panera Bread but very helpful eager staff here. I still want them to bring back the old "bowl" choices - the Tortilla one in particular as well as the Asian one.

Paige Moore

(Translated) So good! (Original) Tellement bon!

Katie Munro

My partner and I ordered some lunch here and it was anything short of amazing. My tomato creamy soup tastes like tomato juice, my grilled cheese sandwich was as hard as a rock, and my partners roasted turkey and cranberry flat bread sandwich tasted like wet dog (she ordered this before and it was amazing, however this time around it was certainly a miss). I guess you have to be eating in at penera bread in order to have a satisfactory meal. (This was NOT worth the 28 dollars I paid, and I will not return here).

Stephen Kidd

There was a long lineup but it moved very fast. The staff were friendly and the food absolutely scrumptious!

derner hersernberg

food costs an incredible amount, why the hell does a half bowl of macaroni cost 10$ and my sandwich was nasty and hard this store is a rip off and i will not eat here again

Natalie Montpetit

As someone who opened this cafe and worked there for a significant period of time I am blown away by how bad it now is. Service was aweful, staff was rude, food was cold and poorly made, the dinning room was disgusting and when the manager who was on staff yesterday came out to clean up I learned she can't clean a table to save her life.

Jenna D

I walked into panera bread for the first time a week after they opened and was immediately impressed by the friendly staff and delicious bagguettes. Yesterday, I returned to this lovely place and the smiling girl behind the counter answered some questions about the pastries I was eyeing up.I had never tried anything other then their bread, so I decided to go with the apple caramel pastry and then she just handed it to me and said it was on them today! I thought it was so sweet of her! The pastry was incredible and the loaf of bread was fresh as usual. Thank you for another great experience! I will definetly be back for more.

Deb S

The drive thru is very slow. The sandwiches are expensive and the quality is lacking. I ordered a Turkey & Avacado BLT sandwich. It had salad lettuce instead of leaf lettuce and the Avacado was so unripe, it was crunchy.

James Durrant

The soup/sandwiches are so good. Prompt service and they take responsibility for mistakes. What more can one want from a bakery?

Carol Viviana Serna González

Good food and good place to study

Adam Aguzzi

great for what it is... sanwiches and bread

Deenie McQueen

Amazing soup and sandwiches. The wait is worth it.

Tom Vitez

Nice to have so many healthy choices on the menu. Food is fresh and flavorful. One of our families favorite spots.

Jamie-lee Hunter

That mac and cheese bro, so good.

J Seager

Favourite stop in Kingston on our way to Toronto, clean washrooms and healthy snack options

Adam Butler

Food is delicious, staff are very friendly, it's very clean, and a great location. I did receive the wrong kind of breakfast sandwich but when I brought it to their attention, they were very apologetic and quickly made me the correct sandwich. Whether you're grabbing a quick meal or some of their delicious desserts, it's a great place to go.

Vincenzo Riccio

I love Panarea

Cosmos Zhao

Breakfast menu ends at 10:30 am... but the restaurant itself doesn’t even open until 11 am...

amit bajpai

One of the best places for a nice, quite lunch with family.

Qiot Riot

Over-priced for what you get. Baguettes were too hard. Soup was good. Usual set up. Servers were friendly but food was just regular at best.

Renee E

Good food and employees at the drive thru are so nice!

Alice Ching-Chew

Fresh food, quick service.

Michaela Craig

Have never received a correct order from here. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR ORDER before leaving or you will be very disappointed.... wouldn't even give it a rating.

Bill Stevenson

Meet a friend here every Sunday. Friendly staff. Good service and food is always fresh.

Frank Cross

Soup was great sandwiches are small. I found it to be overpriced

Laura Lee

Service was excellent and food was great as usual!

Robert Cotran

Just a quick breakfast on the way to Toronto while charging at the Kingston supercharger. It was good and decently healthy. Will eat here again while driving through.

Rachael Jancowski

Alright ... So normally I'm not a big complainer and I enjoy your food... But today I was at your location, I had a terrible experience. After excepting my 100 dollar bill and then ringing it in as a 50 ( THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT COLOURS LOL) …

lauralee burke

Need someone to enforce socail distancing !!!

Sarah Perry

This is a wonderful location with nice staff, only advice is to ALWAYS check your order before leaving.

Flavia Onel

Sooo delicious!!

Syndicated Satellite

Horrible location, horrible service, horrible food - if you can even dare call it food. Next time, I will go to the nearby nofrills and get something off the shelf.

Sean Liddle

Breads and baked goods are nice enough. Meal choices are not spectacular but better than average take out.

MM MM

Very delicious and Expensive

jaedson1969

I used to eat here but will not anymore! Lunch was to be provided for the volunteers at the Humane Society Big Paws event today and for some reason it was cancelled?? Thanks for NOT supporting the good people supporting and doing a great event that is for the animals of our city.... The event volunteers are working very hard and now have to leave the event to find lunch, this takes time away from a very good cause.

Christopher Landry

Food was great. Would be nice if staff was a bit more helpful in ordering on their somewhat confusing menu.

Ali Nassiri

Excellent Latté.

T H

Nice service, little value for price tho

Alessandro Nardone

Good food

Alexander Mataseje

Great variety in the soup, sandwich, and salad options. Cozy atmosphere with prompt service and courteous staff.

John Alexander

I’ve always passed on Panera because it has a reputation of being pretentious and highly priced - sort of the Starbucks equivalent for “fast food” sandwiches. …

Ethan Jenkins

Pricier than other fast food but you can't beat the nutritional value of the food here. I'm especially a fan of the salads.

Andy Baird

Great coffee but it's usually luke warm. Last time I went the coffee was put out at 4:30pm and it was 7:20pm when I arrived so I had to ask them to put out some fresh pots. When I ask for a bagel I have to request it lightly toasted otherwise it will get scorched black. I keep going back because I like the atmosphere but it's not really worth the price.

Julie Belaire

My order was wrong (take out) and the soup was ice cold, like it hadn't been heated (I only drove 2 min away back to work)

Wendy Flores

Friendly staff and great service

Michael Peacock

Great brekky. Delicious coffee.

Jeff Patton

Lovely place to sit and reflect over a coffee or bagel. The space is fairly open so if you don't want to hear other people's conversations bring headphones. Free WiFi and good outlet placement at the tables make it a good place for laptops too.

Paul Braden

Delicious and maybe nutritious.

Larry Shamash

Panera bread is a good Patisserie/bakery style restaurant. There is ample seating in this location which offers coffee and assorted drinks on tap. There is a car charging station nearby. Try the soup in a bread bowl, it's delicious. The salads are also very good, very fresh bread and desserts.. Thanksa!

Mike Cobb

Soup ... Good Sandwich... Good Cookie... GOOD! What's not to like?

Jerome Goulet

Nice relaxing place and excellent cappuccino

Charlotte Lowe

It pains me to only give 3 stars, because I LOVE Panera food .. However, the service at this particular restaurant is not great. The people who work here are either very forgetful, or spacey, or are just not listen. Probably 90% of my visits (and I visit multiple times a week), something in my order is forgotten. Whether it is my drink, my side, or an addition I've made to my meal. I actually just left there and they forgot my side, which prompted me to write this review. In my experience, one person in particular messes up my order .. That person is David. I am not usually one to single someone out, but I feel that people should be warned to repeat and double-check their order when it is David (mostly at the drive-thru) taking it. I just feel that for the price we are paying for such delicious food, we should at least be getting the food we asked for.

melina demone

Best soup ever! Service was great

Geoffrau Peter

+Warm Atmosphere +Inviting Staff -A bit Pricey,$9 for a Sandwich...

BT Armistice

Went for dinner here with a few friends, store did not have many menu items. (Out of bread choices, no Mac and cheese, no Flatbread) A lot of the items we did order had to have substitutions to them. …

Nikeisha Joseph

Soups love

SamanthA Bradleey

My new favorite restaurant. Frozen caramel drink is life. Bread bowl with cheddar broccoli soup is something I could eat daily ????

Line Jensen

Service was fast at drive true. Representative was friendly.

Dora Main

Had Panera delivered to a staff meeting. No complaints. So I decided to go to restaurant with my hubby. Horrible experience, couldn’t hear cashier to place order, no place to sit. Food arrives, big bowl with a little bit of soup (4.59) half sandwich (6.39) a very small cup for a drink (2.59). Sandwich bread was soggy on both sides, literally wet, yet it was toasted. Very dissatisfied. On the way out walked into a random table, no chairs, placed in the path to the exit. Total waste of 27.52. Do not recommend.

Neil Packman

Fabulous sandwiches and soups. Friendly service.

Bryan Law

Nice atmosphere and great tasty food

Frances Burton

Best butternut squash soup I have ever had. My partner loves the broccoli cheddar soup. Sandwiches are generous and made fresh to order. If you want a sweet indulgence, try the warm chocolate chip cookies!

Junnie Hanna Elliott

Brocoli/Cheddar soup with a very large (they called it a small)Cesar salad. So yummy I ate it all. Came with either an apple or bag of kettle chips. $11.28 tax included. Very busy lunch hour.

amninder singh

Good food tasty food

Steve Humphrey

They do not have the same pastries there any more, selection seems much less

Barry Fry

Was one of the worst meals I've had in Kingston. The sandwich was poorly presented and tasted terrible. I couldn't believe the prices for a very small sandwich. I would expect to pay a couple bucks not fifteen and no sides to boot. Don't recommend it at this point and am weary of going back. They refunded my money with not too much problem

Sean D Fitzgerald

The options looked great online but the product was not worth it at all. It was over $40 for two soups, a sandwich and a salad which seems crazy. Soups were not hot. Quality of all four food items were poor. Sandwich was on par with Tim Hortons and you can find much better soups at any average restaurant. I wouldn't recommend it.

Neil Allen

Nice variety of food options that appear healthier than most places. Staff are polite and courteous. Great place to eat.

Mark Stubbs

Great fast dining concept!

Bryan Scott

Awesome Bakery. Had a great place to have lunch.

Little fishyking

Love this place. The food, service and atmosphere are always so good.

Kelly McIlwaine

So happy to have found this place amongst junk food. And greasy restaurants! This was a big relief to us parents at a hockey tournament sick of the constant burger, pizza and fries diet when travelling. We would love to see a second location in downtown Ottawa! The food is amazing! And the prices and calorie posted on the menu are welcome

Simin Seifz

Nice menue with option to have a combo meal of ( half sandwich) and a soup or a salad. …

A Google User

Panera is always good. Though I personally don't like their bread as their crust tends to be slightly harder and more chewy. I'm a lighter fluffier type of guy.

Jason Barriage

My partner and I frequently love going to Panara bread to enjoy the amazing soups and sandwiches along with other amazingly mouth watering treats. Panara Bread is by far one of the best places to enjoy a sandwich and soup or other amazing food items on the menu. Be sure to try a treat or two as they are so good they melt in your mouth. Thank you Panara Bread Kingston you're the best! The atmosphere, food quality and service is beyond the best above the rest.....

Sandy LS

Good food

Bassy Morana

Great soup a sandwich combos.

Noah Petrie

No indoor dining. Not great for people passing through town

Elizabeth Antony

Live their sandwiches.. ordered them through the drive through. Pleasant and fast service

Steve Syrett

Good sandwiches, if that's your idea of lunch in a restaurant.

Mariamyupperz

Very confused. Sandwich looks NOTHING like what is advertised. Looks unappealing. Chicken avocado melt missing peppers and cilantro. The avocado is a big chunk …

Janine deSavigny-McGee

Food was amazing. I was disappointed it was just the patio opened. It was a cold lunch. The dining could be opened. I am assuming it's the staffing crisis.

Krista Veenstra

Always yummy, especially the Harvest Squash Soup .

Square Pixels Canada

I don't know what happened to this place, it's not as good as it used to be

DA DOO

Great food as always

J & D

Always a pleasure to visit Panera Bread. Service is always pleasant and food is always fresh and tasty.

Guy Tessier

Always a good spot for wholesome sandwiches.

Stephen Grundy

Best healthy lunch chain

Ahmed Ali

High quality and reasonable cost.

Grant Currie

Out of pretty much everything we went there for...

Zorayda Flores

Cozy atmosphere, great place to take a break from driving. Unfortunately, both times I visited, they made an error on my order but they corrected it immediately. The staff is very nice and when I asked about ingredients, the took out a binder with all the ingredients in each dish to ensure I was well informed.

Pierre-Alexandre Despatis-Dupont

Great food!

M K

Very long wait, w no customers. Fresh bread was In a box just sitting out in the area customers walk by to exit store? Is it free? Forgotten? You are not letting ppl inside due to laziness, not covid. Plenty of space inside for limited safe service.

beth hazlitt

We had a lovely drive thru experience.

Olga Kibitkina

They are good. But had a hair in food problem in the past. Also if you order anything to go, check your order. The few times I've gone they got it wrong. Food is really good though, like a classier Tim Hortons.

Matthew Santiago

Very friendly staff, good food options and fast service. It's a bit more expensive than other options but the quality warrants it.

Laura O'Grady

We came in 2 minutes before close and they still took our order without any complaints!! Sweetest people :) :) :)

David Amaya

I brought in 45 Australian tourist and they couldn't compensate me with a free meal I will look for a different stop next time

Jennie Marshall

This is a neat place. Great lunch stop.

Jordan McGregor

I love this place. I eat here religiously when I’m out and want something quick and healthy. The steak and arugula with autumn squash soup is my favourite.

Jerry Golick

My wife loved their mocha coffee. We shared a tasty scone. Friendly service. Would go again.

David Athersych

Nice quiet place for a coffee and some work. Pastries are quite a temptation.

Shannan Grant

Southwestern Chile lime salad is great just wish they still had the black bean flatbread to go with it. Chipotle chicken and avocado melt is yummy.

LauraBear

I ordered Panera Bread off of DoorDash and the sandwiches were ok, not good, but holy heck the kitchen sink cookie WAS AMAZING! Best cookie I have ever had!

Mr. Tony

customer service zero. waiting to long.

Mary

Sad table service is gone, but food always great

Rhonda MacDonald

This place is amazing. The food is fresh daily along with so many different varieties. Can't seem to get enough of it. I was there today and I'm ready to go back for more. YUM!

Britt

Most of the staff with the exception of a small few are excellent. Tired of getting smaller portions then what I paid for. If I pay for a bowl, don't give me a cups worth of soup!

Kenan R

Very friendly staff

Kulbir Singh Madhok

Great food, great choices, outstanding service. Loved the resto ambience. Ample options for vegetarians or vegans.

Bob Webster

Just ok.

April Anne Hewens

A fresh take on 'fastfood'

Sabine Richarz

Love the healthy options!

Kelvin Clark

I have purchased the chicken noodle soup multiple times from the Kingston location, only to return home to find that there was no chicken or noodles in the chicken noodle soup. Do not order from this location unless you want a 7 dollar cup of broth.

ghisveronneau

(Translated) I love the place. Even on weight watchers I found a superb Thai salad. (Original) J'adore l'endroit. Même sur weight watchers j'ai trouvé une superbe salade thaï.

Teddy Knitel

Always a fun place to go. Great comfort food.

Karin Gorham

I like the ratio of lettuce to other ingredients in their salads. Soups and salads are also delicious.

La Vern Simkins

Nice bread.

Joe Cardinal

Wonderful food.

Houman Shariati

Loved the food!!!

Dwight Egerter

Warm coffee, wrong order, weird COVID-19 policies - wanted me to throw out coffee so they don't have to touch it. Wanted me to wait while they brewed more coffee - Refused to bring it to my table when it was done. It wasn't busy at the …

D Dynomite

Amazing Fresh Food. Top Quality????

Phil Carroll

The food is excellent and healthy for you. Quick friendly service.

Alana Fearnall

Seemed to have a lot of dirty tables. Good food, standard Panera.

Mark MacDonald

The service today was outstanding..

Izy Breezeie

always suuuuuper satisfy, taste good, fresh ingrediant

Troy Halladay

Great food!!

Tracycally Hip

It was ok. Squash soup was very sweet and salty, and I love salt, but a little over the top. Cutlery was not inspected as our fork had dried lettuce on it. We ordered 3 soups and received 1 spoon. Kinda a no brain to supply proper cutlery. I'd go again just to see if it was just a bad day for the staff or if this will he a regular occurance. Happy Sunday

Dan Poenaru

Great lunch place

613 Bassin

Really enjoyed it. Nice atmosphere.

Pulickal Suryanarayanan

Interesting variety of food. Should try it out. Highly recommend visiting this place!

Damla Larcin

Staff is incredibly nice !

DEB Daisyhillbedandbreakfast

Love the steak and cheese and mac and cheese. Highly recommended

Jeff Campbell

Great food!

Bob Miller

Best cookies EVER! TRY THE CANDY COOKIE

Claude Richard

Simple, quick, tasty and a perfect place to stop if you are driving between Toronto & Montreal! Beats other fast food options!

Andrew Hayward

Stopped in off the highway for a salad and a rest. Great food, good service - way better than anything you will find along the 401

Andrew Cook

Good food, but a little pricey.

Laetitia23

(Translated) Many choices, varied. To try! (Original) Beaucoup de choix, varié. A essayer!

Murilo Romulo

Good food and service, just the prices that are not that great.

Mike THURLOW

Modern new Panera bread in an area off Division Street and the 401. The staff was friendly on the night attended. Went through the drive through. In issues with order and the time from order to delivery was OK. Could have been a little quicker as the order was simple and wouldn't have taken long to prepare. My only complaint is about Panera Bread in general and not specific to this location. I food the food expensive for the size and quantity you get. The item ordered was a small but not sure it would even be considered big enough for a kids size. I like the quality of their food and taste but very disappointed in the price to value. I will continue to attend the locations but because of the cost it is done on an infrequent basis.

Randy Parker

Fantastic fresh bread

Christopher Twigg

Fast service, relative to the number of customers, and and excellent selection of delicious sweets. I also appreciate the full ingredient listing.

Katerina B

Always fresh bread, tasteful pastries. Coffee and drinks available all day, healthy meals. Parking place. Outdoor sitting. Clean, comfy place!

Tony D

Very clean and excellent service

Stephen Rudberg

On a cold wintery, blustery day, there's nothing better than soup and sandwich and Panera Bread in Kingston, Ontario fit the bill. This location is just off Division Street not far from 401 Highway and is a welcome change to the other fast food choices available. I ordered the Chicken noodle soup and Grilled Chesse Bacon sandwich with kettle cooked chips. Service was quick and staff very friendly. Due to Covid-19, fine in was not available.

Robert Field Stockton

Always a good place for great coffee and good food.

Malcolm MacPherson

Excellent food - price is creeping up a bit! Been a customer for 15 years! They're all over the United States! I've been to them in Virginia New York and California!

Zbojar

is is rather the Tea brand than Panera issue I just thought I'll share here. I took a green tea from the hot drink station and it smelled and tasted like nicely aged hay. May go well with cows and horses I did not enjoy it.

Julien Doyle

Great quality food. Expensive for the portion sizes

Cassandra McKay

Expensive but one of my favorite places for lunch/breakfast of lunch. Can't go wrong with a turkey avocado BLT!

Jean-Simon Arcand

Great healthy food but kind of pricey

Ty Agha

Consider updating your hours so people aren’t wasting their time. Thanks.

Roy Leigh

Always good. Slight change in procedure, you get your own meals now. Where as before someone would bring your meal to the table.

Scott Howells

I love their food, service is usually good. loss of star is for 1 time I had bad service. Fair prices and great menu.

Ahmed Fouad Sedky

legendary as always .

M. Davis

Great lunch. Good food.

Brie Bajpai

I love Panera. Food is great.

narjisfathima Mohammed jahinger Ali

Nice tasty yumm yumm yumm yummy ????

Robert Cox

Good food, ordering was a little confusing the first time. More expensive but worth it.

Deanna Toxopeus

Good.

Jeffrey “Juge” Gilman

Even after the manager came to us to tell us they had just run out of multi grain rolls, and offered multi grain bread as a sub (which we gladly accepted), the multi grain bread never came. Neither did the side we ordered. Lots of apologies rec'd, but still no performance.

William Stewart

Had the "pick 2." Turkey chili was yummy, as was the chicken salad sandwich (I know the name was fancier than that, but that's what I remember). Staff were very helpful, and they were very kind to replace a sandwich for my daughter that accidentally found is way to the floor. An enjoyable evening.

RON Thibodeau

We love the broccoli soup and green godess cob salad. Too much arrugula in the latest one though. May not order it in future. Would love to see one in Orléans.

Jack S

Very friendly staff!

Jessica Jiovana

My sandwich was made and brought to me without all the ingredients that goes in the sandwich, no one told me they ran out of peppers until I brought my sandwich back to be remade. My sandwich was also missing cilantro which they did have but for some reason didn’t include it on my sandwich, when I brought it back to be remade they still forgot to put cilantro on it so they pretty much remade it just to give me the same thing I brought to them in the first place so I had to get up yet again and ask the lady for some cilantro on the side, soup looked old and not the usual yellow color as always, I was actually extremely disappointed with my food and pretty upset.

Connor Koch

Great staff

Valencia Bedard (V)

Hoping for a gluten free sandwich, but the staff politely explained why it's not possible since they bake the bread on site. They did however open the ingredients book to ensure the soup was gluten free as well as the kettle chips, so I had a delicious pumpkin soup with seeds in it, and dunked my chips into it as well! Yum!

Jasmine van Reede van Oudtshoorn

Always tasty. The Green Goddess Cobb salad is my ultimate favourite, as well as the Mac n cheese. 10/10 would recommend

Danika Martin

Great food and quick service. the staff is very friendly, Lanny was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed! thank you

BRADIMUS PRIME

Neil horner

Poor value for money

Karen Melrose

Very disappointed as they did not have anything I wanted. Thought it was a bakery too but just had bagels and a cinnamon bun and 2 cookies and buns

Étienne Cordat

I am a big fan of Panera Bread but my 2 last experiences in this restaurant brand were not good, including this one at Kingston. Unlike the last experience at Ottawa where the employees at the cash machines …

Donna Cassidy

I love Panera. I wish you could see more available options on the drive thru menu.

A M

Best place in the area for lunch. Quick service and healthy choices. A little pricey but worth it.

FIONA Hamilton

Come for the sandwich and stay for the almond croissant!

Andrew

Disappointed that the dining room was closed and the outdoor patio was the only option. Would have been fine if it wasn't 34⁰C (felt like 40) outside. Food was good and quick.

Tyler Halladay

Fast food and a healthy choice

David Zee

Good food

K. Thompson

Good fast food restaurant with healthier options.

Chelsie Gordon

I love Panera but I don't live close to one, so I made my friends stop at this location on our drive to Niagara Falls. As usual, the food was delicious, but the reason I will come to THIS Panera location every time I drive to Toronto is because of Larry! Larry ran around delivering orders and was clearly working very hard. He had great customer service conversations, and when he got to our table he made witty jokes and engaged in a very funny conversation with us. Larry made this the best Panera experience I've ever had! It's so nice to see someone take such pride in their job and enjoy what they're doing. I work as a Job Developer in a small town; and that means I’ve worked with several clients like Larry to help them find meaningful employment. I love the clients I work with (and I love seeing them at their jobs even more!) so it was so great to see Larry in his element! I've told everyone I know about Larry and told them to go to this location on their next trip. I hope Larry is working the next time I'm there! :)

Doug Carey

Always something delicious to eat.

Brendan Ryde

Nice homemade food at a decent price. Great place for lunch and light dinner. Very friendly staff.

Steve Lamont

Love the bread bowl.

Chris Sampson

Bread and rolls were great. Sandwiches were tasty, and the soups were nice, especially the French onion. It was busy, but service was quick. I’m sure we’ll be back.

JEN349

Not great tonight. The soup was delicious and my sandwich was ok but the sandwich my husband had got had nothing on it but the meat. The person asked what my husband wanted and he requested everything that usually comes on that sandwich (veggies, sauce, etc) and none of it was put on. It was really disappointing to discover this after we were already home.

senj Vandenberg

Love the food there but the service this last time was not good. My girlfriend and I both ordered something and it came out wrong. We returned it and still it came out wrong. Nothing was done for us. Not great customer service.

Zoe Toth

It's fine? Healthy and, fast enough. However The food lacked flavour. I'm not likely to choose Panera again as it wasn't particularly good, and because of price. Portions were also fine but small for the price.

Johnny Snorthern

great soups

Diana Farr

Very tasty food with fresh delicious bread

Andre Gauthier

Umless you know how their menu system works, very hard to order the right food. After three visit, I still ended up with wrong order. Panera restaurant is out of my list.

I've eaten here several times while in town for work and have never had a bad meal. The service is great; today they didn't have any yogurt cups and the lady working drive thru offered to whip one up for me . I had the avacado and roasted turkey BLT and it was delicious. A little pricey but it was quality food.

First experience.delicious panini steak & cheese sandwich and cinnamon roll was to die for.

Beverley Morrison

I had the cinnamon crunch bagel and cream cheese, which was delicious, however, I ordered cafe latte and sat down. When they brought my bagel I was told they didn't have any expresso beans so couldn't give me a cafe latte. Why wasn't that known at the cash before I paid? They said that I could have a refund or a coffee, so I said a coffee, but expected a partial refund as I'm sure a coffee didn't cost $4.29 as I was charged for the cafe latte. So much for the free bagel!!

Tania Chop

Never disappointed! Today it was all about the Green Goddess Cob salad with chicken!

Norma Anderson

Very nice food the place very clean

Carmen

Great service. The cashier was very informative of everything that was put into each dish. We went to sit down and the food came out in less than 15 minutes. I had the seasonal autumn squash soup with the side of an apple. It was very good!

Aaron Price

Good service the food is always delicious

Therese Reynolds

Great soups and sandwiches

Marcia Goodfellow

Great service from the counter and kitchen staff to the dining room staff. They were agreeable to allowing my daughter to try a sample of one of the soups to see if she liked it before I ordered her a whole bowl. It was Thanksgiving day and they were very busy, but everyone was well organized and there were no issues. Staff were very friendly.

Naren Kumar

Taste was really good

Herman Vanderlinden

Even though our tomatoe soup and Autumn squash soup were delicious. We were very desappointed by the fact that they didn't have the onion soup. Was told they won't carry it no more. So sad. Will be considering an alternative, no onion soup and no more service to the table.

Kevin Collie

Yummy sandwiches and an incredibly kind team working there. Very pleasant experience for my first visit.

Brian Clark

Despite the pandemic, staff remain friendly and ready to help. New items on the sandwich menu. Quality of ingredients and baking remain excellent. For the weary traveller, washrooms are open. Sample parking. The outdoor patio should open soon.

Kathy Ward

Best Nutritious Food!

For the price, this place is a total let down. I drove from the other side of the city just to get some French onion soup only to find out that their dine-in area is not open. I was really looking forward to sitting down and enjoying my …

Suzanne Brunet

Salad was wilted. I didn't get avocado, and I got bread instead of an apple.

Shelly Papineau

Good soup it ends there.... I got the steak and cheddar... it was supposed to have horseradish mayo and pickled red onions... oh ya and steak... there were three thin, I mean thin slices of meat, no sauce, no onion and the bread was stale. Super expensive for the minimal amount of anything on my sandwich. We got there at 8pm and was told by the cashier they close at 9pm.... like it would take me an hour to eat 4 bites of "sandwich" and 6 tablespoons of soup. Ridiculous!!! Won't be returning.

My family loves their entire menu. I know it’s a franchise but it’s so much better than Tim Hortons.

Matthew Quintin

Pricey and average quality

Sandra MacDonald

We are very frustrated with Panera at this time. A few times, they haven’t added the cheese and croutons to the bag for French Onion soup! Tonight, we got the pick 2 and we wanted apples as our second item, got home and …

Gervais Dutemple

Poor quality sandwiches !! $11.59 for a sandwich and absolutely no love in that cooking (or preparation)

Michael Hill

Dirty, unmaintained bathrooms. Small portions. Lettuce was brown.

Darren Vine

I was pleasantly surprised by the food and the service. I have to admit it made for a tasty stop on a day of travel. Try the Mac and cheese

Jason 1971

Great food but their portions are getting smaller

Gary Kennedy

A little more on the pricey side but excellent food makes it worthwhile.

Keith Stickwood

The Panera Bread chain of restaurants is a decent place to eat or just have a coffee and hang out. They are a little in the expensive side but not too much so. Think Starbucks but with less emphasis on coffee and more attention paid to food. The atmosphere is usually quite clean and cozy. I believe they have free WiFi as well. The Panera loyalty program seems to be quite good.

Kirk W

Great quality food

Eddikka Youngs

Best food ever

Emily Gagnon

(Translated) Very nice evening at the Panera Bread in Kingston. Excellent service, very clean places and delicious food. (Original) Très belle soirée au Panera Bread de Kingston. Excellent service, lieux très propres et nourriture délicieuse.

Matt Groves

I love the choices and food but be warned do not get up from your table to go to the washroom half way through your meal. If so you will come back to a cleared table and your expensive food in the garbage. A little too quick to clear the tables. And really just a waste of food. Just a word of advice go to the washroom before eating.

Marc S

Very good place, lots of choices and fresh ingredients. Quick service and very tasty menu items. The Thai chicken salad is amazing

Mark Switzer

Greek salad had the core of the lettuce in it that made it off-putting

jfcote42

Way better than I expected! Tomato soup tasted homemade, the sandwich was amazing. especially the bread which was moist. Expected to have a lunch on par with starbucks but everything was a lot fresher. Even the coffee was delicious

steve Chaput

FOOD is excellent, little pricey but good

Connie McCullough

Not impressed today. As I'm giving my order, the young girl turned her head to watch another employee. I stopped talking which seemed to snap her out if it and finished taking my order. It was a bagel and cream cheese. Time on the receipt was10:06. Time of delivery was 10:20. It was just a bagel! I kept hearing sorry to customers for the wait. Not sure what the issue was as it wasn't busy at all. Not the experience I had last time.

Phill

How you always out of bread hahaha??? Both times iv gone you have been out of flat bread and baguettes. Call Belleville and ask them how to produce enough bread for the day.

Michael Eberle

Love their soups

Karen Marr

Panera Catering Kingston Ontario - I love the food, the presentation, the convenience and the catering staff are amazing (Tiffany). However, their phone system fails regularly: cutting off calls before anyone can answer, cutting out conversations intermittently, calls not getting through, they can't transfer a call so I'm supposed to call back and then can't get through again. I've spent 10 minutes this morning trying to make a minor adjustment to an order for lunch today and another 5 minutes on this - my second complaint over several months. As much as I have enjoyed our catering relationship with Panera, there is a local small business that picks up their phone and I can be heard. One call or an email and done. It has been many months with the same problem and now it is intolerable.

robinn harris

Very busy, slow service but great food!!

Lui Valdes

I love Panera Bread, but in this one, the service Is so bad. The cashier Is not a morning person????

Andreas Tanzer

People who served us and got the food ready were great!!

Shannon Carol

The team at Beardall Animal Hospital would like to thank everyone at Panera in Kingston, ON for our great Christmas lunch! Everything was fresh, and on time, everyone's sandwich that had been customized came in perfect and it was all delicious! Merry Christmas from our team to yours.

Tony

Good place to hang out while supercharging.

Letícia Hora

I used to go there about twice a month and enjoyed it, but yesterday morning I went there and ordered 4 sandwiches and all of them were EXTREMELY small, way below average!! I have had their sandwiches many times before, and they were definitely not that size/length. So they are either making their sandwiches smaller for the same price or the person who made them cut the bread too small. I'm not going back.

Crystal Chen

Huge location and great for salads and fresh sandwiches.

Richard Moller

Not bad menu and service was good.

vidyut banerjee

My first meal in Canada in 2014 was at a Panera bread. Haven't stopped eating the napa almond chicken since.

T McLaughlan

Food was decent, service was mediocre at best. Young blonde woman with glasses who served me had an awful attitude on her, not only dismissive but rude. Wish I got her name. If she doesn't want her job, I'm sure someone else would take it.

Chris Bird

Good food. Great flavors. A bit over priced.

Eric Winterton

Great food and friendly staff.

theresa Milligan

First of all I find the food here just ok. I went in today to get 2 half sandwiches with salad and it came to 35 dollars! My sandwich was soggy and basically just a couple giant pieces of chicken and some tomatoes with skin so dry I couldn't bite it off. My salad was made with mixed greens that appeared on the verge of spoiling. I will never return. For that price I can go to a restaurant with full service and get 2 entire freshly made sandwiches.

Naoko N.

Ordered on line and picked up. Not a nice service with some rude staff. Over $16 for a flat bread and a small soup - which is not a great deal at all. I wish that at least service was better.

Rebecca Stevens

Great experience and fantastic customer service everytime. Have never had a bad experience.

Alex K

All the usual.

Sherry Weicker

Such a great healthy option instead of burgers. Always tasty!

Nikki Kell

Expensive but fresh

Jason Smith

Awesome place to eat!

Flori Fornvald

(Translated) Delicious soup in straw no !! (Original) Delicioasă ciorba în pai nici!!

Patrice Lambert

(Translated) Strange that an American channel offers something tasty. Must enjoy it. (Original) Étrange qu' une chaîne américaine propose quelques chose de goûteux. Faut en profiter.

Thomas Adamson

My wife's sandwich was wrong for take out and the kitchen staff seemed confused

Brad Martin

I have never been hear

Noah Gilholm

Meh, 5/10. I’ve gone to Panera multiple times, and before I get into the negatives allow me to say that the cheddar broccoli soup is absolutely amazing ???? Anyways, although the soup is good there are a multitude of issues with this restaurant. To begin, the pricing is crazy considering the amount of food you get, and the quality. Although some of the pastries are rather tasty, for the most part their meals are average and better food could be purchased at different places around town, for the same or even lower prices (I’d recommend the Wendy’s nearby). Secondly, there are problems with the staff. As other reviews have expressed, the staff are rather forgetful and I’ve also experienced this a number of times. Occasionally, there are staff members who are rude or even stand-offish, but I suppose I could be getting unlucky with the particular staff I interact with. All in all, not the best place in town but there are some redeeming qualities to this restaurant.

Rene Brousseau

Great food, a tad pricey. Fast service :)

Jason Engel

The coffee was weak, but the soup was fantastic.

Andrew Duncan

Overpriced.

Tony T

Dam shame about not having the ability to eat in the restaurant... But the chicken Bbq was excellent

Don Zelk

Good fast food

William Whiteman

Half sandwich and cup of soup is my favorite meal

Abi K

did not receive cutlery, napkins, butter, and a wrapped straw. employee was rude as well.

Greg MacDonald

The food is very good, a little more expensive but worth it because of the food and service. I prefer when sit in was available, and that is the cause of the loss of a star. It's not the same just take out for me.

Sylvie Groulx

Fantastic food

Ashok Khiara

cool

Laila D

Needed to find a specific item in bulk and these guys were AMAZING! Not only did they track it down for me, but they individually packaged them, helped bring it to the car and were very professional in all aspects of their interaction with us.

Justin Connell

Place is terrible. Souffle was undercooked. Took forever to get whole order. My daughter says the bottled water was good, so that's a plus. Definitely way better in the states.

Helen Jones

Oh my gosh the soup was just amazing with a nice fresh enjoyed by all thank you,,????????????????????

Kathy Creamer

Very tasty lunch served quickly and friendly. Really enjoying the cinnamon crunch bagels we bought.

Joseph Charboneau

This is the worst 'food' that I've ever eaten. First of all - the portion size (for the price) is laughable. We get it - food cost is high. Charge me more then because I'm not a child. Secondly - the chicken is precooked, flavorless, and embarrassing. Thirdly - the 'grains' (aka low-cost rice with a bit of quinoa sprinkled in) tastes like the profession of Accounting. Bland and lifeless. There are PLENTY of non-franchise options in Kingston, and I've tried them all. This is the worst of the worst, but it's especially damning because of the price. This was both my first, and last, time at Panera Bread. Beware.

Elizabeth Gendreau

Bread

Cheryl Gibson

Fpod was good and fresh.

Hyeondong Kang

I like it

Kristina Proulx

Went for the bowl, but the size was pretty small for what you pay for, and they forgot to add dressing.

Brian Livingstone

Tasty, but crazy expensive.

H M

Sandwiches were very good, pastries as well. Great service.

Carole Whan

Coffee cold and not replenished. Expected better service. Very expensive.

J T

Over priced bad quality food. Great service though.

Jennifer Alexander

Worst grilled cheese I’ve ever had. Like cheese whiz on awful, white warmed bread! Disgusting. Won’t go back!

Mary Trant

Always yummy. Great Tuesday deal on a baker's dozen bagels

Conner Labbett

The time advertised online was incorrect and hasn't been changed

Aidin Shariatzadeh

You would be served propmptly with the high quality dishes

Michael Calder

Sitting here feeling very well serviced at Panera Bread in Kingston. When I received my order I noticed a small mistake. I asked to get it fixed and without a second thought the person helping gave me a refund on my sandwich, a replacement sandwich (+left the first one) and also gave me a free pastry. 5 stars for going above and beyond to make my meal experience here something worth repeating! Also, everything tasted great!

sue beamish

First no bread also got in the car went home and realized got the wrong order

Matthew Wry

A fine, proper establishment that expresses excellent taste.

Pat Pearson

So disappointing...so overpriced ????

Tori L

Love the food here and they have good prices!

Luke Watson

Always great food and quick service

Vanessa Brooke

Drive thru is always a pleasure, very friendly and efficient staff. I love their mac n cheeses and my boyfriend loves their grilled cheese. Unfortunately their takeout isn't spectacular, I got a chicken sandwich that had a funny taste to it like it was freezer burnt.

Brenda Hamilton

The food is really good
