Panera Bread — Restaurant in Homestead

Late review - Date visited 5/14/23: I am disappointed with the Homestead location of this particular chain. I have ordered takeouts from the Miami Gardens and Doral locations before, and they have always been consistent, regardless of how busy the store was. However, the Homestead location is the complete opposite.

Although the workers were friendly, the quality and consistency of the food were the worst. Not only did it take longer for my food to be prepared, but when I arrived home and excitedly showed my friend how amazing Panera Bread is and that she should try it, we were both disappointed. Her half-toasted frontaga chicken sandwich looked like it was made by a three-year-old, and my chipotle chicken flatbread pizza appeared to be the creation of a child playing in the kitchen. This was especially disheartening since it was Mother's Day, a day meant for celebration.

As I always say, "I don't mind paying $$$ dollars for anything as long as I receive the quality of food I am paying for." After all, the food is not FREE nor have any discounts —I am paying for it FULL ASKING PRICE so I expect it to be of good quality. I find it quite bothersome that I now have to go through the hassle of writing a corporate letter to express my dissatisfaction with my order.

Despite this ordeal, I still recommend Panera Bread, but I suggest visiting another location. The staff at the Homestead location are nice and friendly, but the food is of horrible quality. Some factors to consider are the differences in food handling between the cafe and rapid pick-up options, as well as the consistencies among different locations.

**I wasn’t able to take a pic of the complete order because of how annoyed I was. However, my friend took a photo of her sandwich.

after posting my review** SHOOT! I read and saw the other reviews. I made a mistake by not checking the reviews beforehand. I didn't think it was necessary because in my mind, Panera Bread has always been consistent regardless of the location. I usually rely on reviews, whether they are local or abroad, to make...
