Panera Bread — Restaurant in North Cornwall Township

Good food slow service.

This place just opened a couple of weeks ago. I went last week (during the week for a late lunch) and dined in. It was a little slow but relatively okay.

I went today (on president's day) during lunch and the place was swamped. I ordered online figuring that might help cut down the wait. My email order confirmation said the food would be ready around 12:52pm. I didn't receive my food until 1:33pm. There was a quality checker checking orders who I think had given up. They forgot my drink, which I got them to give me, & a cookie. I didn't notice the cookie. It wouldn't be a big deal if I hadn't waited so long. In my opinion they should have been throwing free cookies in everyone's bags. I overheard a few people saying they had been waiting over an hour. There were obviously a few people in the store who knew what was going on and what to do, but a lot of the employees were doing a lot of standing around looking panicked or frustrated.

If you want to try this place, I recommend going sometime other than a typical meal time. Order online and call the store to make sure they're not backed up. When you get your order do your own check to make sure it's right.

Hopefully this is just a temporary hiccup while they train new employees & the a novelty of a new...

OK, this location hasn't even been open two weeks yet. Keep in mind they have new employees trying to learn. The entire mall parking lot has been packed for mainly just panera bread customers. So, yes, there will be mistakes. There will be a wait for food. I'm sure they're still weeding out good and bad employees to come up with a solid crew. (So, if you're looking for a job and think you can do better this far into grand opening , apply. They're still hiring I see) . I don't think reviews should even be allowed at this point inter game. Things will settle down. The wait will become more reasonable. Bad employees will get weeded out and the good ones will have had a chance to perfect what they do. So people, give them a little time. Come back in a month or two for a second try. Then rate them. I myself am waiting a little to come in for the first time. Then I will change my review of needed. So, good luck Panera employees! Hang in there!! We need some good places around...
