Reviews for Panera Bread in Elgin, IL
We stopped late morning on a weekday for carry-out. Delighted to find that they still had two cheese souffles available, which... we claimed. Also pleased to find a couple of other pastry choices so close to noon. Everything was melt-in-your-mouthdelicious. Cashier who helped me was friendly, courteous, and helpful. Wish list: First, I wish they had a few sweetenerpackets at the cold drinks station. I chose unsweetened iced tea, but had to walk the length of the dining area to findsweetener at the coffee bar. Second, I wish they had more parking. It was packed at 11:30 am in the parking area shared withStarbucks. We had to park in the lot for the sushi place and walk over. We weren't the only ones who had to do this. Not surehow to fix it since the property is established. Read more
First time trying this Panera location and we will definitely be returning. Shout out to Bryn for taking care of us today! She... was awesome and sweet. Definitely more in stock with bagels than other locations! Super cozy atmosphere with a friendly andwelcoming staff! Read more
Updated: The best lemonade around. Far better than the Country Time cut with toilet water that Fox River Grove has been... serving. Edit: The corporate overlords got rid of the pink drink. *Always good, fill your drink 2/3 hibiscus 1/3 agave lemonadeand you'll be in heaven.* Read more
I'm finding it tougher and tougher to come back to Panera Bread for breakfast. They keep hiking prices up for the smallest and... simplest of breakfast items like Soufles and the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. Food is great, especially if you're trying toeat healthy with soups and salads but it just keeps getting costlier. So 4 stars only because of prices. It's discouraging whena Soufle was just over 5 bucks a year ago and now is just over 7 bucks. Read more
I go here every week or so. I wrote dust me in dust on the counter the beginning of Jan 2022. Two weeks later it was still... there. I informed the manager and she wiped half of the dust off. Me and my family love the food here, but this is gross andit's directly above the food prep area. Read more
Excellent food and service! Regularly come to eat at this location and am never disappointed. The soup, sandwiches and... flatbread pizzas are amazing. The staff is always very friendly and helpful and the restaurant is kept organized and clean. 5/5 would definitely recommend if you are looking for some tasty food for a good price! Read more
Panera is always a great visit. The staff is always nice but me and my boyfriend usually have a girl named Bryn, I think, who is... so sweet and great to talk to. She remembers us when we come in, mainly him, and it makes the experience better. Pricing here isgreat. I feel like its extremely fair for how much and how good the food is. This visit I tried the grilles mac and cheesesandwhich with broccoli cheddar soup (a classic) and bread. It was absolutely delicious. Never had an issue with inside notbeing clean. It always looks nice and its a super cozy place to eat. Could stay here for hours infront of the fireplace withsome hot soup and a book. Wait times arent long. Its pretty quick for how much food we usually get, and everything is fresh andhot when we receive it. The lemonades are amazing as well and I love just sipping random mixtures of that while waiting for myfood. Overall its a great place and I never have anything to complain about. Read more
This new generation ???? God help us. We stop to grab food and none of the little girls welcomed us nor started taking our... order, we turned around and left to the restaurant in front of them. Read more
