Panera Bread — Restaurant in Boston

Panera BREAD doesn’t have bread? Today Monday September 25th at around 8:00pm I walked into this location to order dinner to take home, I ordered and was NOT able to get BREAD as a side, the cashier didn’t even apologize she just said “we don’t have bread right now” so I finished telling her my order and the total came out to $45.31 and I only had $45 in exact cash so I handed the cashier a $100 bill and she kinda just stared at me and explained how since the order wasn’t over $50 she couldn’t accept a $100 bill. So I said “ok well I only have $45 in exact change here” and she told me I could take it out of the tip “cup”, after taking the 0.31 cents out I handed her the money and went off the get the food. After receiving the order I got home unpacked my bread bowl and the top of the bread bowl wasn’t even sliced, the really expect college students have to sharp knives in their dorms to slice the top of the bowl open. Totally not worth it either the didn’t even fill the LARGE sizes halfway with the...

Panera Bread 🍞 is one of the franchises that I like and I was looking for a quick dinner 🍽️ and somewhere with seating immediately available. Like other Panera Bread restaurants I have visited, service was good, the place was clean and the food was good. This Panera Bread has 🪑 seating available downstairs. Downstairs does look a little bit like it is being or has been used for storage. I had the half Ciabatta Cheesesteak and Bistro French Onion 🧅 Soup 🍲 for dinner and the Passion Papaya Iced Green Tea for my drink. The wait time was short. You can order from tablets that are at the front counter. WiFi available. Get the app for deals and rewards. You may encounter homeless people asking for $ near the front door. Every city 🌆 has this issue of being approached though not exclusively at a Panera Bread 🍞. Update:May 2025; The Smokehouse BBQ Chicken 🐔 Sandwich 🥪 with Mac & Cheese and a Passion Papaya Iced Green 💚 Tea was good. I recommend this...

The food is good (I mean it's panera I don't think the branch does much other than throw it in a bowl for me..) but this location has the most absurdly slow service. It is a consistent issue. Last night I arrived at 6:15 and it was decently crowded. There was a huge line in back waiting for their food and one cashier thought there were maybe 7 people in front of me in line. I wasn't at the register for 15 minutes and was pretty annoyed. It only got worse from there. All I ordered was a half salad and it took over 20 minutes to get my food. Granted there were only 2 people in the kitchen but as mentioned before this location is always slow. To top it of one of our orders was wrong but at that point we couldn't even be bothered to ask them to fix it because why would we want to wait another 20 minutes?? Really really disappointed in Panera. They really need to fix up this location before they...
