Panera Bread 2887 Richmond Road, Lexington, KY 40509

"This is a newer location so I wanted to give it a try. Food was delicious and restaurant clean. We both choose the "You Pick Two" option as it's best deal. I had the Autumn Squash Soup with Cesar Salad on the side. My daughter had the Chicken Noodle Soup with Turkey Sandwich. Both lunches were served quickly and very tasty. Great place to go for a quick bite. Can be a little pricey so maybe skip the drink if that's a concern."

"Greg at the drive thru provided the most upbeat, friendly and efficient service we have had in Lexington in months! Greg managed our two part order with no issues, maintaining his friendly and helpful attitude throughout the transaction. In an unexpected but much appreciated gesture, Greg provided a pup cup for the very happy Doodle! As daily Panera customers, we found this Lexington location to surpass all expectations and will make effort to travel a few miles out of our way to this location again. The store is fresh and fairly new with an attractive exterior presence. Outdoor dining will be pleasant in the summer months."

"I have tried to give this Panera several chances but the way the employees think this is an acceptable way to slice a bagel is INSANE. This happens every time I get bagels from this location. This is also the second time in a row I had to wait 20 minutes past when my pick up order was ready for someone to hand it to me. Why the hell do you have a rapid pick up shelf if you’re not going to place my rapid pick up order on it so I can grab it and go? Perhaps consider hiring an employee who can slice a bagel or has half a functioning brain cell."

"I have decided to totally revamp my prior review. After several more visits to this same Panera, I have decided that I am not really a fan of the new coffee machines. They are more of a pain and the flavor still seems to be not the greatest coffee ever! As for the new and improved dining room, it is too institutional and not at all cozy like a typical Panera. Not my favorite Panera by a long shot."

"I really enjoyed the new location. The coffee and cinnamon crunch bagel doesn't disappoint. t seems to have less seating but the new location is inviting, bright and convenient."
