What People Are Saying About Panera Bread

In Short – Bright colors and comfortable furniture give this chain cafe a laid-back feel, with scattered tables that beckon coffee-sipping readers, chatters and diners. All baked goods--bagels, muffins, two dozen kinds of bread--are made fresh on the premises. Sandwiches include turkey-artichoke panini and Asiago roast beef, plus standards like chicken salad and smoked turkey. Soups change daily, but popular choices like broccoli and cheese, chicken noodle and French onion are always on the menu.
Great Soup/Sandwich place
by karwatts
We are thrilled to have a good soup/sandwich place that is relaxing and while fast food, food is not typical of fast food. This is a great place to visit in the winter months where the 1/2 sandwich/cup of soup are a good value. Avoid peak lunch hours though due to crowds and also avoid the Capital Blvd location which is somehow set up bad with the drink machine being in the wrong place and NO extra napkins offered at the condiment bar.
- Pros: Great Soup/Sandwiches not to mention the irresistable pastries
- Cons: Capital Blvd location has poor drinks/condiment set up
Stick with the soup...
by carolinagirl1974
I eat here weekly. I usually stick with the soup- which is always tasty. I had to write a review today, however, because I went with the "you pick two" and got 1/2 a sandwich. I got back to work, was eating my sandwich, realized something was odd. I took the top slice of bread off and realized they forgot to remove the paper from the cheese slice. I had eaten about 1/2 a slice of paper...gross. I think I'll stick with the soup from now on.
- Pros: good location
- Cons: usually crowded, seating an issue at times
Love this location

This particular store at the Crabtree Valley mall has never let me down. I eat here for lunch several times a month and the food is always consistently fresh and some of the best tasting chain/franchise food around. It isn't any more expensive than any of the other typical lunch places in the mall. They have innovative salads and soups, and they regularly come out with new dishes to keep things interesting. I've eaten at a couple other stores in Cary, ordered the same things I always order at Crabtree and they are never as good. The other locations skimp on their salad toppings and the dressing, either completely omitting toppings that are supposed to be there or I might get a salad with barely any cheese on it. The rolls aren't as fresh either. The Crabtree location is super busy at lunch time which is the only downside. You'll have to wait a long time to place an order but they are generally pretty quick at getting the food out and they do a great job of keeping tables clean for the next customer.
