My wife and I have been longtime fans of Panera bread. We’ve been to Panera‘s all over the country. This Sarasota UTC location is one of our favorites. Atmosphere is always upbeat. Staff is friendly and they always have lots of bread and bagels in stock. Very well managed location. we live 20 minutes from this one and skip over 2 other Panera locations to come to this one.
Very rich and well attended.
The dishes are rather fast food with excellent pizzas and seafood prepared with various sauces and truly innovative flavors.
The place is pleasant to go with the family and is also prepared to go with children.
The attention is very fast and efficient.
In general, there is no waiting but it tends to be very crowded, especially during the closing hours of the shopping center.
I placed an order for a half sandwich and half soup. My order was ready within the time of your online app. This is my first time ordering Panera’s Mediterranean veggie and the sandwich was sloppy. All the veggies were thrown together. Although the sandwich was good, I was shocked since usually none of the Panera’s I visit do this. My tomato soup was perfect.
I simply love this location and everything around UTC. We enjoyed fresh food at Panera in their outdoor setting.
I came in for my birthday pastry and was warmly welcomed as soon as i walked in the door by team manager Ivana. She was very lovely and overall just an amazing experience with her.
My husband and I like the variety at Panera..sandwiches, soups, salads, and pastries. Overall great. The venue is clean and friendly. Enjoy! :)
Always amazing when we go! The only complaint (not about this specific restaurant but in general) is I feel like if you get a bread bowl the amount of soup they put in is very minimal and you'd get more if you ordered even a small cup of soup. It could be because the bread absorbs it a little but I feel like they could add just a little more to compensate.
One of the best Panera bread locations I have been to in the Sarasota area. Quick and polite service and good food.
Plenty of seating. I love the outdoor area that has shaded spots. Relaxing place to come during the week to read a book or work on school ☺️
All of the Staff at Panera Bread are friendly and always have my order ready. One day the internet was down and they got it taken care of right away. The best service in all Sarasota and Bradenton combined. And Naples Panera needs to send their staff to Cattleman for training. Marian is amazing manager.
Member of the drink club which is a good deal for me
New chicken sandwich is AMAZING!! Full of taste!! Hope it’s stay in menu permanently.
