Panera Bread

Ok so Panera food is nothing I can complain about but the service, just one particular employee. I mean, If you ask a question then answer it, if you don't know the answer, then say just that.

Now, my favorite thing to get at Panera is the orange scone but apparently it's everyone's favorite at this location too so if You're looking for it, come super early, right at opening time.

This place also fills up with people so a great place to mingle and chat with the locals but don't expect to find a seat during lunch or possibly dinner.

Great food. It was busy and got food very fast with smiling faces.

Love this location. So much seating inside and out. They clean tables very quickly. Staff is always so nice and helpful!

Hadn't been to Panera in at least 10 years and didn't have positive memories. Well, they exceeded expectations by a lot. Had a southwest chicken salad - not exactly what Panera calls it. Excellent. Good quality and good amount of food. Love the warm bread too

Excellent chicken wild rice soup and chicken fini apple salad combo. Very tasty.

I'm not elderly OR even over 50, but I wish the menu was larger to view! Vs squinting to see it on the wall and being in a rush to order.

TIP: get the lemon cookie! It's way better than the mini m&m candy cookie!

The employee were sooo nice to my elderly mom & her friend, and so patient! . Even though the tables were dirty from other people leaving their dishes there , I know they were short staffed, and trying to get orders of food out! Please give restaurant workers grace!

Typical Panera Bread. We enjoyed a nice lunch and visit with friends.

Tried their new breakfast sandwich which was delicious on a cinnamon bagel!

Wonder breakfast this morning. Our waitress was fast and cheerful. Her name was Lola. First time I have visited on a Friday. We got seated right away. No signing in for a change.

Coffee is always excellent, but it's hit or miss if the baked goods are fresh. That's the only reason for not giving 5 stars.

Located in center of the town square. Parking can be a little challenging but not bad. Great place to get a refillable cup of coffee and something good to eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Very quick service too. Enjoy people watching on the veranda. For deals get a rewards card (type in your phone number if you forget the card).

went for a into the square and had a coffee and bagel yum both hot and filling

Awesome location, hard working and polite. It’s something about walking into a location that you can see is short handed but still receiving great service that makes you appreciate it that much more. I don’t work in The Villages all the time but often enough that I’ll definitely be back. Keep it up.

Great food! Excellent coffee! Wonderful service! Nice outdoor patio seating. You order at the counter, pay and then sit wherever you want. Fresh warm bread too!

We love their onion soup so delicious I always order a bowl not the bread bowl as it soaks up the soup

Good food & live entertainment outside in the Square. Stop by and have a bite, next time in the area.

They also donate all their leftover pastries to local Church for Meals on Wheels delivery. So, support this establishment.

Great place to meet for coffee and a bagel ! Sometimes staff levels seem a little light but that’s almost everywhere and they doing a great job with what they have.

Food was good & fresh as always. Healthy choices. Service was good. We sat outside on their patio. Great place to watch the happenings in the square. Will definitely return.

Good place for a quick and reasonably priced meal. Food is fresh and nicely prepared. They keep the dining area very clean and the staff is very friendly. I like to take advantage of the 99 cent pastry item with my meal.

I’m giving this 5 stars because my issue has nothing to do with Panera per se. Ive been coming to Panera at Ft Sumpter Landing in the morning for several years but will discontinue that practice, not because of anything Panera has done, but because of the increasing amount of political pandering taking place there. Lately I’m seeing political messaging, caps and tee shirts with crude political messages disparaging, not only our president, but the Office of the President of the United States in general. Lordy, the election is over…..one guy lost and one guy won. If your guy lost - get over it! Don’t blame it on fraud
(Federal and state judges said “no fraud”, Supreme Court said “no fraud”, AG Barr said “no Fraud”, McConnell said “no Fraud”. We recounted the votes in Georgia three times - “no fraud”. Next time get a better candidate! It’s hard to enjoy one’s breakfast while engulfed in an environment of naivety, gullibility and ignorance. Hello McD’s.
