Panera Bread - Saint Louis Park

This place has big hazelnut coffee and of course the food is delicious. There's a very special employee there, Alexis. It welcomes the morning with warmth and smiles and makes your day better through their interactions. I want to come back! Panera is lucky to have them! Thank you. Alexis for the start of my day with a caring smile!!

Three stars for decent food and cleanliness. But add one star for the extra helpful staff person who not only asked us How is everything but also cleared our tables for us. That was a first for Panera! Thanks!

This was my 1st time ever and I was not disappointed with the food. Service was slow they had an elderly woman cashiering and she was efficient just slow.

Went there with a friend of mine yesterday. Have to say we were disappointed... Probably will not go back for a while... First of all, the one staff member who was taking our orders could not get my name straight even though I repeated it to her multiple times. My friend and I ordered the exact same salad, Asian sesame with chicken, To Go. The only difference was that she ordered the 1/2 size while I ordered the full size. However, it appeared hers was probably only 1/4 to 1/3 of mine. When I opened my bag at home, I realized that the salad dressing was totally missing dressing on the side was specified when order was being placed). Also, the baguette that came with my meal looked like someone else already took a few bites out of it.. See the pic. And it was casually thrown in the bag, unwrapped. In my opinion, it should have been placed in a separate small plastic bag to make sure it was kept clean from everything else. Salad itself was ok. Wait time was short. I think we were the only customers there at the time.

Great service and cozy interior. Met the Panera Bread standard that I’ve come to expect. Skip the line order process was seamless and the staff were friendly.
