Panera Bread - Crestview (FL)

5 /5 Jaeden Eatmon: This is without a doubt the best Panera I have been in. Upon entering the store, I noticed how clean it was and my experience only became better when I began ordering. I didn’t catch her name, but the way the cashier spoke to me and took my order made me feel like I had known this person for years, it was just easy to order, she was easy to speak to. Something that seems to be kinda rare in my opinion. Usually, ordering is a hassle so this was a very nice change of pace. The food: Food was the usual Panera food but the items tasted very fresh and warm. The buns on my sandwich weren’t burnt which can be a usual problem at Panera. Good job to this Panera and I hope it stays this way. To the order taker (indoors) working at 9:20 ish AM on a Wednesday, thank you so much for your kindness.

5 /5 Teena York: So a frustrated new sip club member (me) was talking to the drive thru order taker (Blake Team leader on her visor) from the passenger window trying to understand the what and how of this whole club. She was patient, kind and considerate. She was simply amazing. Panera is fortunate to have such an employee and representative of their brand. Now I didnt act like anything YouTube or reel worthy but she was definitely the calm in my frustration. I will be making a better effort to learn about the club. Thank you Blake.

3 /5 Jeon: Its an ok location. People inside walk around past you, not really friendly. Girl who took my order just couldnt wait to go in the back, just repelling attitude. Some guy inside who spelt even from far away as you walk by, taking a whole booth table while having a free glass of water. Sandwich was decent and they prepared it in a timely manner.

5 /5 Kay: “Panera Bread seriously ate. Like—no crumbs. The food is always fresh, the vibes are cozy, and the staff is super sweet. My order came out fast and tasted so good I low-key did a little happy dance. The mac & cheese? Elite. The bread? Basically my Roman Empire. And don’t even get me started on the drinks, because I could sip their iced green tea forever. Totally my go-to spot now.”

4 /5 Stephen Barrios: Standard Highway Stop — Gets the Job Done Stopped at this Panera Bread just off I-10, and it was pretty much what you’d expect for a quick roadside meal. I ordered the chicken avocado sandwich — flavor was decent, but the whole thing completely fell apart as soon as I unwrapped it. Ended up eating half with my hands and the rest with a fork just to keep up with all the pieces that tumbled out. Not ideal, but still edible. Overall, it was an okay stop — convenient and predictable, which is sometimes all you need when you’re on the road. Nothing special, but it filled the gap.
