Panera Bread

"The preparation of my bowl was bad. The Mediterranean bowl was a favorite, but I don't ever plan to order from this location again. If I did, it would be with extra scrutiny. My advice is do not order from here unless you have time to unpack and completely check each item in your order."

"Great location innHampton VA. The manger Rich was super friendly and helpful and is back there working super hard. Up front I was greeted by Ruth and she was super sweet and welcoming. Super clean location and the food is on point. Editing the review because everyone I meet here is friendly and helpful Anisah at the register greeted me with a huge smile and I met the two managers Pamela and Alex who were both working so hard and making sure everyone is happy. Great customer service. Love IT"

"Panera never disappoints! However, today, it seemed less tasty than in the past. The new Hampton location is much easier to access than the previous space located near Chic fil a. The new location is directly across the street from the previous. It is new and shiny. There's a signature Panera fireplace to try to make it feel cozy. There's plenty of seating for groups and couples or individuals. I do miss the charm the previous location had, but not so much that it changed my opinion of the food. Today, I had creamy tomato soup, which is served with croutons atop and a baguette served on the side. The soup is good, not spectacular or different than any other basic cremy tomato soup. The bowl was about half full. Tbh, it was plenty of soup. The soup was one of my Pick 2 menu items for $6.99. The second was 1/2 of a tune salad sandwich. It was ok but the bread was disappointing. It was flavorless. I was honestly hoping to be wowed by at least one of the bread I had, but today wasn't the day. I left wanting more. The sandwich and fixings were fresh but somehow didn't have a ton of flavor. And the tuna salad wasn't anything special. It wasn't bad. I just won't order it again. The location is easier to access than previously, but in the future, I will probably stick to my personal favorite broccoli and cheese soup."

"First time at this location. I initially wanted to use the kiosk (to use my rewards) but mom talked me out of using it. Cashier Rich is so patient with us, nice, friendly, and kept a smile on his face. Didn't have to wait long for the food since we beat the evening crowd. Food is delicious as it should be and made to order. I would love to visit again to see Rich's smile."
