Kasey MaAugust 7, 2013When panera finally came to New York, I nearly died. I've been waiting for one to open as I've grown up around so many and love this place. Service is awesome, even when I changed my order.
Lori WhiteAugust 10, 2012Trust a St. Louis native (Bread Co...as it is known in St. Louis, was founded in the land of The Gateway Arch), and get the broccoli cheddar soup and bacon turkey bravo you pick 2. Trust.
Always slow and never any seating, but boy is that broccoli cheddar soup and pecan braid worth it.
Nicholas GiovanniAugust 8, 2012Turkey, Avocado BLT was excellent. Today was the first day they were opened and it was packed for lunch.
Caroline DengFebruary 5, 2016Amazing, friendly staff. The Chicken & Avocado BLT and Chicken Soba Noodle Salad are good.
Yay! There's finally a Panera within walking distance. Frontega chicken with broccoli cheddar is always a failsafe. Staff is pretty nice. Pecan braid has like...2 pecans.
Always fresh and great service. Get the Panera loyalty card, you get free stuff and very often!
Kristina MarieApril 5, 2013It is really crowded here and hard to find seats but the wait staff scanned the restaurant and actually found seats for us. Pleasant surprise. Good customer service.
nukirk digi.talSeptember 20, 2014The way the space is layout, you think there are no seats, but there's plenty in the back. Just keep in mind it's very popular.
Alexandra SantiagoDecember 6, 2013I love their sandwiches but is to bad they don't have turkey bacon. I am pretty sure there is a high demand for it, specially in this area.
Great customer service. Very warm, polite and inviting. Their broccoli cheddar soup is out of this world!! Must try.
Sign up for the Panera card. Get card in store, register online. Frequent free stuff-- smoothies, iced coffee, pastries, etc!
Excellent customer service!!! I have been to many paneras in NJ, PA, and NY. This is definitely the best one I've ever been to!!
Eva AvshalumovaSeptember 14, 2012Love love love the place and the food. The broccoli cheddar soup in the bread bowl is to die for!!!
If you love seafood, add shrimp to your salad. It's kind of expensive, but you get 8 jumbo shrimp for the price.
I feel guilty for getting a bagel at a chain, but their asiago bagels are the bomb.
Chris CAugust 17, 2012Man this place is really nice. I wonder how long til dope fiends take it over like Au Bon Pain next door?
Maxwell ZSeptember 29, 2014If you're missing the suburbs, saddle up to a bacon turkey bravo and broccoli cheddar soup
Cristo SotoAugust 11, 2012@Krista B. Hey if you had any knowledge in you. You would know that ,they only opened 3 days ago. So give them a break and don't be a jerk.You want service done by jerks go to AuBon Pain next door.
Great spot to relax and hide from the many people in union square!
You totally have to be on the prowl for a table - it's like a competitive sport!
Karissa✨May 5, 2015It's your typical Panera. Pretty crowded. There's lots of seats in the back, though.
💎TDecember 31, 2014It's always crowded here. Don't even expect to be able to land a table during peak hours.
Allison HrebsJune 9, 2013Love a panera downtown but be prepared to wait at least 15 minutes for your food...
Erasmo JuniorFebruary 19, 2013People stay sit ad eternum using their computer while other ones who want to eat don't have a seat.
I think the sandwiches here are smaller than the sandwiches at non-Manhattan locations.
- Marilyn RosaFebruary 27, 2017The service was relatively quick and very polite but the blueberry muffins are not good.
Give the associates a break, they're trying hard for how long they've been open.
Johnny Martin-AlexanderSeptember 11, 2013This place is a rip off. For $7.61 I got a pathetic sandwich of lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, and onion. no better than Subway. Whatever makes this sandwich "Mediterranean" is beyond me
