    Probably the best Panera I've ever visited. Service is super friendly, and the location is clean and well laid-out with a nice outdoor patio. Orders have consistently come out quickly and correct. Bravo, Ithaca Panera. Other locations should learn from you!

    Panera Bread is a sandwich joint with pastries and cookies. Unfortunately, I tried chicken pasta and sundried tomato chowder and that probably wasn't the thing to order here. My friend tried turkey sandwich and he said that it was good. Next time, I need to try a sandwich. They have lots of pastries and cookies here and nice selection of coffee too. This particular location has a self-serve coffee station with porcelain mugs. It's good to see that people still have trust in others. Free parking is available right in the front of the store.

    Truly as good as it gets. Great soups, salads and sandwiches all for a decent price. Ingredients, while aren't the freshest, are always tasty and hit the spot. Another stand out feature from this joint is their bread. I have tried a lot of bread, but Panera's is unrivaled. For a fast-food joint, this place is on point.

    Some additional notes about this location: This location is clean, fast and they also have a drive through. In addition they have great fresh drinks and the cookies are always fresh.

    Can't recommend this place enough.

    This was my first time at this Panera. I went through the drive thru and had a fine experience, until I got home. It took me about 10 mins to get home, then I went straight to eat my food and this is what the avocado they put on my food looked like. This should not have been served.

    So Panera's breads are OK enough; their other stuff, not so good. I've eaten lunch there 2 or 3 times; the soups are absolutely tasteless.
    However, the biggest problem at the Ithaca outlet is customer service. There is none. No greeting, no thank you, no interaction of any sort. Blank stares is all I have ever gotten. Maybe chain outlets can put up with that kind of behavior, since they seem to have cash flow from corporate HQs. Any other indie business in a small city like Ithaca would fail quickly with this kind of attitude.
