Panera Bread - Atlantic Beach

The location is excellent, right on the main road. There's a convenient drive-thru for those days when you just need to grab something on the go without leaving your car. The staff was friendly and attentive to our order. We had two separate orders that needed to be bagged separately for different households, but we paid with one bill, and they handled it perfectly. The restaurant was clean and well-organized. I would definitely visit again.

I just want to share my experience from my first visit to this restaurant's drive-thru. As a pregnant woman, I appreciated how helpful and friendly Megan, the manager, was in assisting me with my order. She was incredibly patient and accommodating. I realized I forgot my sandwich just 10 minutes before closing, and when my husband went back to get it, she made sure everything was perfect. I truly value people like her! I will definitely return. Thank you!

I couldn't ask for anything better. The bread is excellent, and the fall squash soup served with it is fantastic. The mac and cheese is wonderfully creamy, and the smoothies are delicious. I recently tried the pizza and was very impressed. The tuna salad sandwich can be hit or miss, but it turned out to be surprisingly good.

Wow, there are SO MANY Panera Bread Restaurants near my house! And really, some of them are just better than others. This is a statistical fact where we can see the data here on Google Reviews. So hubby and I had a spoon day and we checked Google reviews for the Panera Bread restaurants near our location, which at this moment was the Atlantic Beach area. We have made an excellent choice, and here is the reason: - a small mistake by the cashier led to hubby the wrong kind of soup. Kitchen staff corrected this in less than 5 minutes. - a glitter I was hardly aware of, but the kitchen staff said they wanted to do right, led us a huge bakery with several pastries (that we chose inside). —We finally registered for the Panera discount card! And the first reward is Gage-Yep, a PASTRY! I wanted a chocolate croissant, but Nabeby wanted a muffin. The manager gave us both generously what we wanted! (I think our behaviour was at the level of the infant tantrums and the man recognized his fastest solution! . — The restaurant was very clean – except for the toilets (these can go out of control really quickly. They were not terrible, but they demanded attention. — The food was great — the service (always my personal Make-or-Break inspection of all service facilities was very inspiring! See, I'm going miles/km from my way to this special Panera bread because she treats me so professional and with such kindness. Thanks, CJ and ty, night guide for this special restaurant! The next time I buy in the city center and bless amazingly fresh happiness in Panera Bread, you can bet I will drive the additional 30 minutes to this! Most recommended!!

Haley who was working the To Go window was very helpful. I didn’t enter my buzzer number correctly without realizing. Haley noticed I was waiting and figured out the issue and made sure I got my order. Above and beyond customer service!!!
