Panera Bread,

15 Cabela Drive, Garner, NC 27529

"Greek salad was fresh and very tasty, chicken soup was fine, nothing special. Spacious and comfortable interior. Getting a bit pricy (what isn't I guess?). Approximately $15 for half salad and cup of soup, with no beverage. Good, healthy option vs burgers or fast food."

"I love this Panera Bread! The staff is very helpful and friendly. The manager is an active member leading the team to success. I often see employees cleaning extra or working together to help each other out. Often going above and beyond. Very well run restaurant. Thank you!"

"They don’t have as many menu items as other locations…. Came here craving a pizza but had to get a sandwich instead. They put 2 tiny slices of bacon on it. Never coming back here, I’ll stick to the one in Cary."

"Physically, the store is too big for how little it sounds in there. I used to love this place, now feels like a ghost. Now I usually order for pick up or delivery. They dropped lots of items from the menu, and while the food is still tasty (as in tasted as Panera should), they skimp out on the ingredients. Happened a few times before, just assumed someone was in a mood whatever, but their food has consistently been like this now. Today’s sandwich included a regular half with a string of onion and its tiny twin."

"Never really experienced Panera Bread and all its glory til yesterday. Been coming here DAILY for over a week to eat, drink and do my tax prep. Today Spencer was working and kept the dining area crystal clean and ready for new customers to sit and enjoy their food/beverages. He really added to the experience and even offered to take my dishes when we were done eating. Dined in and enjoyed one of their "You pick 2" specials with a half salad / half soup. The meal comes with a free piece of freshly made bread. Sign up for rewards and get a free pastry! Will definitely be back seeing as how I have signed up for the Monthly Sip Club. Definitely check that out if you plan to frequent this place. It is a heck of a deal. All the staff was super efficient but Mr. Spencer definitely added to the welcoming environment of the place. Seems several repeat customers know him well too. Once you visit a few times, the rewards system will generate coupon specials off of the 'You pick two' and a couple bucks off of a breakfast sandwich. There is both booth and table seating indoors and a lovely gated patio area with tables and umbrellas. NOTE: Only about 5 or so tables indoors offer access to outlets for keeping work stations charging if you decide to make Panera your office area for a few hours. The coffee/tea/fountain drinks are "self serve". Also, if you prefer to warm up a pastry, there is a microwave conveniently located below the coffee station. To adhere to CoVid protocols, Panera sends an sms alert when your food is ready for pickup vs using the handheld vibrating alert devices. If you are eating out on a budget, select a 'Value Duet' $5.99 and you choose salad and soup or soup and half sandwhich with free item (baguette, apple or chips) and add on an additional pastry or desert for just .99. Enjoy!"
