Panera Bread - Melbourne

The staff was extremely friendly, and my service was quick. The food was fresh and delicious. It's a perfect spot for a quick lunch break or a fast breakfast before work.

I am extremely dissatisfied with this location. When I got home, I realized that my order was not prepared as I had requested. I called to speak with a manager, but the response I received was unhelpful and seemed indifferent to my concerns. My dissatisfaction was neither acknowledged nor addressed.

The food here is absolutely amazing, especially the tomato sauce! However, I gave it three stars because both my husband’s sandwich and mine contained barely any meat, with all the fillings piled on one side. We actually had to perform some "sandwich surgery" just to make them more even. I ordered the Frontega Chicken, and he had the Steak and White Cheddar sandwich. While the taste was fantastic, there just wasn't much filling. At least the bread was delicious!

Excellent selection of bagels and drinks, the staff is also very nice. But, gave a less star because of one with more than one case to drop acid milk into my coffee. Maybe you forget your night shift to clean the canisters at the end of the day, or maybe they should make it a ritual to clean them all the time between fillings. Clean milk is bad update- recently noticed that they have added single-simmel creamer and that it is absolutely a remedy for my complaint so back to 5 stars. Thanks for Panera Bread

It 's been several years since my last Panera visit. This was my first dining experience at the Wickham location. A lot has changed--all (as far as I 'm concerned , for the better. While the menu still retained old favorites, I found many new options listed (I am especially excited to see the inclusion of rice bowls! . My go-to, You Pick 2 order remained intact, but I was surprised to see that the Frontega Chicken Panini now held off menu status, meaning you had to know of its existence to specially request it. Upon hearing this, I was a bit hesitant to order, wondering if a lack of regular preparation experience would make it less palatable than I remembered. My fears, however, were unfounded. My Frontega Chicken Panini sandwich had more meat, more chipotle mayonnaise, more everything, than ever. Fork-tender chicken, sizzling-sweet mayo, juicy tomato, garden-fresh basil, and zesty onions combined between two toasted slices of panini bread for the best take on the sandwich I have ever had. (I have to give kudos to the staff for being so helpful throughout the process. Being a big fan of Asian-inspired dishes, I gave the Thai Soup a try for the first time. Piping-hot, with just a hint of yellow curry for full-bodied warmth, the broth boasted a bouquet of savory and sweet, vegetal and spicy (shiitake mushrooms, red bell peppers, edamame, lemongrass, ginger, galangal, and lime peel, to name a few ingredients . Served with a soft, crispy-baked baguette for dipping, the soup could be enjoyed long before it was cool enough for a spoonful. Last, but certainly not least, the Orange Cream Scone provided the final flourish on my warm, savory meal. Just as mouthwatering as I remembered, this hand-crafted confection tasted like a creamsicle in baked form--floury-soft within, candied-shelled without, and melded with shaved orange rind for extra bursts of citrus on the palate. My dining experience here restored my faith in Panera Bread, and a quick glance at the untasted menu items made me eager to return. I look forward to another delicious luncheon! Thank you for the wonderful experience!
