Panera Bread 1808 Tamiami Trail, Port Charlotte, FL 33948

"First off food and service are always great at panera. The service on the building however is terrible, bio growth in all of the supply registers and AC returns are full of dust and dirt, the air quality here is absolutely atrocious, shame on this restaurant for not changing filters or doing any type of upkeep, the location is filthy as well and dust on everything, not sure how many people will actually notice these conditions and I’m sure the management could care less, therefore I will not be returning to this location to eat only to test the air quality before visiting the dept of health website next time, DO BETTER PANERA!!!"

"I ordered my food and there was a long line of orders. Not only did they put out only one order at a time, but literally 30 minutes passed and only two orders were completed. I asked for a refund because I didn’t have time to wait three hours because that’s how long it would have taken with the 15 minutes per order. It took the manager an extra 10 minutes to refund me for my pick two and a drink. I don’t complain. I barely leave reviews but this just really upset me. When I asked a person how long the food orders would take and his answer was I don’t know. I felt that was not an appropriate answer considering this is a food establishment and you should have an idea how long each order should take."

"Panera Bread never fails. The food is very good. The coffee is great. The staff are very helpful. The food arrives fast. I love getting breakfast and lunch here on different days of the week. You can get your food to go or enjoy a nice dining experience inside. It has a cozy coffee shop atmosphere."

"I always come by, I’ve had this place like 50 times, but today going in, no friendliness, a bit dreary, maybe from them maybe being new, but when I got to my destination, the sandwiches were all wrapped terribly, but I didn’t expect to not even have any chicken on my sandwich.. I mean chicken is the first thing when you read the sandwich, and I just didn’t have any, now I’ve only had 1 mistake where they messed up the bread, and my grandma couldn’t eat it for being too hard, but this was the edge for the start of the morning.."

"So got our food only to find mold on the bread. Only two questions how old is the “fresh” bread and how did they not notice it when making the food. What a shame."
