Panera Bread - West Orange

I 'd came here for the first time while visiting my son and to be honest, this is the best customer service experience I 'd ever had in North Jersey. You kind of expect a certain Jersey Brashness , but the young ladies who helped me (Hope and Donna) verypleasant and eager to help. Would recommend to anyone.

Panera offers life changing experiences. One time I ordered an apple salad and there was NO apples. Then that got me thinking an apple salad with no apples how can this be? But then I realized Panera was trying to teach me that everything is not whatit seems and you always have to expect the unexpected. And then I ordered a four cheese grilled cheese but I knew there wasanother hidden message. Everyone usually has a one cheese grilled cheese so Panera is trying to tell me they offer more thanquadruple the quantity of food than regular places.

This is my go to Panera in addition to the Edison one in NJ. The staff are always Nice and accommodating if you have any issues with the food and the portions are good. I?ve gone to many other paneras in different states And the ones in New Jersey seem tobe really good and especially the West Orange one. I love it that they have Wi-Fi and a Fireplace and comfortable seats. My eggwhite breakfast sándwich was amazing on a bagel.

This is for the West Orange location. Great staff and service. I always get my all time favorite salad to go. Decided to dine-in. This is their fuji apple salad with chicken (whole, not half) and a side of baguette. The meal was absolutely beautifuland perfect. It was a gorgeous day and this made it even better. PAUSE. Sadly, had a disappointing find in my salad. For whatlooked like molded greens. Management was very courteous and tried to right the wrong. I was more bummed about not finishing thesalad. Took a couple of days off from my fave. I'll be back..TBD

Busy when I went to pick up my food but the good salad made up for the little delay I had in picking up.
