Panera Bread - Melbourne

Excellent selection of bagels and drinks, the staff is also very nice. But, gave a less star because of one with more than one case to drop acid milk into my coffee. Maybe you forget your night shift to clean the canisters at the end of the day, or maybe they should make it a ritual to clean them all the time between fillings. Clean milk is bad update- recently noticed that they have added single-simmel creamer and that it is absolutely a remedy for my complaint so back to 5 stars. Thanks for Panera Bread

It 's been several years since my last Panera visit. This was my first dining experience at the Wickham location. A lot has changed--all (as far as I 'm concerned , for the better. While the menu still retained old favorites, I found many new options listed (I am especially excited to see the inclusion of rice bowls! . My go-to, You Pick 2 order remained intact, but I was surprised to see that the Frontega Chicken Panini now held off menu status, meaning you had to know of its existence to specially request it. Upon hearing this, I was a bit hesitant to order, wondering if a lack of regular preparation experience would make it less palatable than I remembered. My fears, however, were unfounded. My Frontega Chicken Panini sandwich had more meat, more chipotle mayonnaise, more everything, than ever. Fork-tender chicken, sizzling-sweet mayo, juicy tomato, garden-fresh basil, and zesty onions combined between two toasted slices of panini bread for the best take on the sandwich I have ever had. (I have to give kudos to the staff for being so helpful throughout the process. Being a big fan of Asian-inspired dishes, I gave the Thai Soup a try for the first time. Piping-hot, with just a hint of yellow curry for full-bodied warmth, the broth boasted a bouquet of savory and sweet, vegetal and spicy (shiitake mushrooms, red bell peppers, edamame, lemongrass, ginger, galangal, and lime peel, to name a few ingredients . Served with a soft, crispy-baked baguette for dipping, the soup could be enjoyed long before it was cool enough for a spoonful. Last, but certainly not least, the Orange Cream Scone provided the final flourish on my warm, savory meal. Just as mouthwatering as I remembered, this hand-crafted confection tasted like a creamsicle in baked form--floury-soft within, candied-shelled without, and melded with shaved orange rind for extra bursts of citrus on the palate. My dining experience here restored my faith in Panera Bread, and a quick glance at the untasted menu items made me eager to return. I look forward to another delicious luncheon! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Not a complainer, so when I do there?s a problem. The orders weren?t totally right, no big deal. The cashier was super impatient and had an attitude, we all have bad days. The bagel my husband got was cold even though it was supposed to be toasted, okay. But wow was this place DIRTY. I?m talking grease up the wall where they cook and on the ceiling panels. The floor was sticky. The trash areas and drinks areas were covered in debris, grease, etc. Our table was sticky and the high chair was slimy. There was a THICK layer of dust lining the computer on the edge of the counter where you pick up your order. Needless to say, we took our cold bagel to go instead. Probably won?t be back.?

Today, I brought five kids to Panera and the experience was great. Our cashier personally brought the food to our table, which was extraordinary! I was wondering how I would handle bringing five entrees over to our seating area. He went above and beyond and as a business owner, I like to see that! Everytime we come here, we leave happy. Thank you!

Pending review Poor Service and attitude I brought home a loaf of Panera?s bread a short while ago. I noticed both the ends of the loaf were missing (my husband?s favorite part) and at one end, the pieces didn?t line up like a freshly sliced loaf should. I?m wondering if the young man behind the counter with a bad attitude who waited on me had the nerve to do something to my food while it was out of my sight. Could he have dropped it, or worse? His attitude during my visit was very disgruntled and he had a good deal of animosity toward me, the consumer. He flopped the poorly bagged loaf of bread into my hands and I nearly dropped it. I won?t be returning to that local store and will be very suspicious of other Panera stores in the future.
