Panera Bread - Port Charlotte

The parking situation at this restaurant is a bit unusual. You can only exit to the right onto 41 North, but you can enter from Cochran Blvd in Port Charlotte, FL.

The food and service at Panera are always great. However, the building's cleanliness is lacking, with bio growth in supply registers and AC returns full of dust and dirt. The air quality is atrocious, and the location is filthy with dust on everything. It is disappointing that the restaurant has not taken care of these issues. I will not be returning to this location and will check the air quality before visiting in the future. Panera needs to do better.

The food was tasty and fresh, but the prices were high, as usual.

Panera Bread never fails. The food is very good. The coffee is great. The staff are very helpful. The food arrives fast. I love getting breakfast and lunch here on different days of the week. You can get your food to go or enjoy a nice dining experience inside. It has a cozy coffee shop atmosphere.

I don’t understand the bad reviews on here but I have had nothing but amazing experiences at this Panera location! I’ve only had two issues with my orders, both not being Panera Bread’s fault; It was the DoorDash drivers. Nevertheless, the manager always accommodated me and resent my order. They contacted DoorDash for me and got it straightened out. The morning staff is not very friendly, but the male manager I always speak to is always so incredibly kind and patient! I ordered Panera breakfast almost every single day, and I’ve never had an issue with them directly. The atmosphere is always welcoming, and the restaurant is always clean. Keep up the good work, Panera Bread! you guys are awesome! thank you for always Making my sandwiches delicious!
