Picked up my order at the drive thru. Need to wear hair nets and hats, arrived at home getting ready to bite another side of my sandwich and found a long straight brown hair inside of my Chicken Bacon Rancher. I could have gotten sick I was highly disgusted. All of my sandwiches were missing some ingredients that I customized on it.

I had a really disappointing experience at Panera today. First, there was no one at the counter to take my order—I had to wait around before anyone finally came. Then, when I went to get my drink, there was no ice in the machine and the screen told me to go to the pick-up station, but no one was there to help me, so I ended up with a flat soda.
It also took quite a while to get my food, and when it finally came out, it was upside down, torn apart, and missing my side. On top of that, the sandwich didn’t even have the egg it was supposed to come with. The employee actually asked me if it was supposed to have one—when yes, it was. She had to take it back to fix it, which just made me wait even longer.
In the end, I paid $10 for a meal that was late, messy, missing items, and just not worth it. Definitely not the quality or service I expect from Panera.

I and my wife went to the Panera Bread restaurant located at 5091 Bayou Blvd, Pensacola, FL 32503, on November 24, 2025 for lunch. This was our first time eating there. We placed our order and then sat down. We ordered a bowl of Creamy Tomato Soup. I ordered a whole Toasted Italian. My wife ordered a whole Grilled Chicken & Avocado BLT. The cashier told us that we get two French Baguette with our orders. I got a Coke and my wife ordered a Crème Brûlée Latte.

First problem, I needed to use their restroom, but the stupid door was locked, which requires a 4-digit security code to unlock the door. So, I got back into line behind a couple who were placing their order. I waited and waited patiently for about 3 minutes as they were placing their order, until finally I apologized for interrupting them but kindly said: “Ma’am, is there a security code for the restroom door?” She told me the code, and I kindly added with frustration in my tone: “The restroom doors shouldn’t be locked!” This is really bad to lock the restrooms for customers. I shouldn’t have had to get back in line, then interrupted a couple and cashier just to use the bathroom. This particular location in Pensacola is a nice neighborhood, so I don’t see why they lock the doors. It is ridiculous! I suggest that if they insist on locking their restroom doors that they tell each customer at the time of placing their order what the bathroom code is. I didn’t like this at all, having to ask to use the bathroom. It’s rude to the customers!

Second problem, when they called our name after 10 minutes, we retrieved our order and sat down at a booth. But then realized that they forgot to give my wife the Crème Brûlée Latte that she ordered. So, I walked back up to the kitchen window to ask for the drink, which they had to make. I waited about 6 minutes.

Third problem, I sat back down, but then we realized that they’d also forgotten to give us the second French Baguette that was supposed to come with our order. So, I had to get up again from the booth, walk over to their kitchen window, interrupting our meal, and stand in line for another 2 minutes for a French Baguette. This is so bad for a business that does this every darn day! They need better management!

Fourth, I didn’t appreciate the cold attitude of the manager in the kitchen who was visibly getting frustrated with me for having to come back twice, because they screwed up our order. If anything, as a customer I have a right to get upset with him, but I didn’t.

Fifth, when placed our order, we asked to see the portion size difference between a cup versus a bowl of soup. The cashier lifted up two dishes, one was a very large bowl and the other a small cup. We opted for the very large bowl. But when they gave us our order, the large soup bowl wasn’t even half full, which offended us. The woman who showed us the very large bowl should have been honest to tell us that they don’t even fill it half way. The top of the bowl tapers outward considerably, giving the visual impression (and they must know this) that you are receiving a BIG AMOUNT, but in reality if you were to pour the actual soup content into a smaller bowl, you are not getting much soup for the high price they charge. It is very misleading to show a customer a very large bowl, and then not even fill it halfway with soup. It’s an insult!

Overall the food was great, the atmosphere was fair, but our experience wasn’t as pleasant, having to interrupt our meal to go ask for the security code for the bathroom, and then twice for them to correct our order, which all toll wasted about 11 minutes of our meal time. At one point in my meal, I looked over toward the counter and the same cashier gave me a dirty look. Was that necessary? This is no way to run a business! We had an excuse, since it was our first time eating there; but they have no excuse, since this is all they do.

The old adage is true: First impressions are lasting impressions.

Order food on kiosk, order out within 5 min. Black pepper focaccia bread delicious! Grilled Chicken chipotle and Gouda tasty & Chicken salad good. Chicken noodle soup had good flavor, not hot, just warm. Lots of patrons lounging using WiFi. Out of tomato

Update: Went in next day since phones still weren’t being answered. The manager was very nice and said their phones are currently in process of being replaced and only have 1 right now in office so she apologized and remade my meal for me. Very nice manager.

I came through the drive thru tonight and was extremely disappointed. The wait was insane, but the lady was nice to give me free cookies. Anyways I ordered a chicken ceasar salad and chicken bacon rancher. Half my salad was bad, the chicken doesn’t look cooked and then my sandwich barely has anything on it. I tried calling and nobody is answering so hopefully somebody will respond to this because this is really ridiculous for almost $20 of food..

No matter where I go or whichever state I visit, Panera Bread still upholds their quality and high standards.

Today, I was in the mood for Broccoli Cheddar soup.

As always, it was savory and hit the right spot in my stomach.

This by far is one of the best Panera Breads on the Gulf Coast. One of my fav. The managers are top notch and it reflects through the team. Katie and Ethan gave me exceptional service and turned a awkward moment into a positive memorable experience.

Both times I’ve been here there’s been zero or incredibly slow service just to get a cup of coffee. Coffee isn’t hot and instead of a jar or machine for cream you gotta open 7 creamers. Seems like Panera needs to pay a better wage.

Update: I went back, I was excited to try there new Italianio sub. It was very meh, definitely not great first impressions of the new menu. Service was great as always though Previous review: Great experience, I hadn’t been to this chain since I moved to the area; it was a good choice to go back for breakfast! The four cheese egg soufflé was just as remembered, the egg was soft and creamy with a perfectly crisp pastry. They have a serve your self for regular coffee, and an easy order yourself station along with the traditional counter! Very clean on the inside.
