Honestly Panera is not what it used to be. For the prices they charge for those sandwiches I would expect more filling and better quality. You are better off going to a local deli that you trust. You come out happy with a manwich, a drink , and maybe even a snack for later
I don’t know if it’s just the Panera’s I’ve been to. But they’ve always been overpriced, and bland af. It’s the only place I’ve ever even THOUGHT about asking for a refund for a meal lol. Never have and probably never will, but I heavily thought about it. I don’t understand the hype they have.
From someone who used to work at Panera, Panera without the workers discount is NOT worth it. The pick two used to be such a good deal and with their prices (and everyone else’s for that matter) rising, it just isn’t worth what is being given. The BLT was just sad for $6 for a half. The tomato bread is their best bread imo but to get two slices of bacon with thin tomato and greenery? No. You can get a bigger BLT at Corner Bakery. Hell, you can make your own better for that price
I love Panera but honestly, wth is up with their prices lately? Almost $9 for just those half sandwiches? They used to be my go-to because their portions were huge and one meal could be lunch and dinner for me at a great price. Now I’m just bewildered.
Every restaurant or fast food seems to have gone up drastically. Look at @Ashlovescondiments review of TacoBell’s new menu items. Seriously underwhelming for as much as they’re charging!
You’re seriously wondering? I closed down my restaurant because I wasn’t willing to kill my customers with up costs. Stop and think why? Groceries are up for you… imagine what restaurants are going through with food LOSS AND LABOR. If you’re complaining then you’re part of the problem. Go home and make a sandwich
@@JamieAshbyit’s true, but up the corporate pipeline they’re doing this on purpose to push small businesses out and destroy the middle class. Controlled inflation
Can’t lie, their green goddess sandwiches, the new club ones, are huge and delicious. I’m the biggest critic of their prices lately. But my God, those sandwiches, help me. However, I just cannot get on board with them raising their prices for their core. offerings. You know the soup sandwich, the mac & cheese/sandwich all that crap like why would those prices DOUBLE it makes NO sense. It’s friggin sandwiches and soup. My grandma used to eat there because they offered inexpensive and healthy offerings. That’s how I found out about them actually. I turned my mom onto them. Years ago. I understand that wages have gone up, and that costs of certain ingredients have gone up. Perhaps even everyone’s rent has gone up. Suck it up! We are all struggling. I have a business too if I keep raising my prices, people just don’t buy my shit. Sometimes you have to eat those costs and that is just part of doing business. Those core menu ingredients like flour, to make bread and pasta, Frozen veggies, bulk cheese, etc. are still the cheapest shit you can buy. If you are going to charge an arm and a leg for the latest items, at least keep the cost of your core menu down. I feel like Panera core audience is older people. At least that is what I have always known them to be. It infuriates me to think of them gouging grandmas and grandpas who were sucked into their old pricing. And don’t know that they are being bled dry now because it has been so insidious.
Honestly though. They’re thrusting to make up for the fact that they’re on their way out. Panera is about to be no more… nobody is willing to pay that much for some over priced hospital food with stingy portions
Honestly, the sandwiches that Ashley makes from her house… Look 10 times better than anything she showed today… Ashley should be on the board for Panera so she can teach them how to do it the right way! Also, the thumbnail should be the grimace right before the “watch your face”. That face is classic. Love you, Ashley!
Panera is getting rid of their bakers and going to reheated frozen bread at their stores now, all while increasing prices. None of those sandwiches looked like they were worth $9. I wasn’t a frequent Panera flyer before, but I definitely won’t be going out of my way for it anymore.
I use to love panera but I refuse to go there now as much as I would love to. They're very stingy with the meat on their sandwiches and that is very disappointing. The sandwich sizes also are very small for the price. They have good bread I prefer to pick up a loaf and go home to make 8-10 better sandwiches for the price of one of their half sandwiches. Sad because it was a better quality place to eat compared to drive thru's but I cannot justify paying so much and not get my moneys worth. I hate to feel ripped off.
I work at Panera as a catering coordinator but I agree, the prices are wild. I’ve been with Panera for 9 years now and it got wildly out of hand due to our old CEO trying to incorporate new menu items which meant the prices had to be hiked up. We have a new CEO that made this new menu and it’s the biggest change we’ve seen. Bare with us, he’s trying to consolidate and drop prices. But if I didn’t work there, I wouldn’t pay. All of your descriptions were accurate. We all love the italiano on our staff, it’s the best. I understand all the frustrations.
@@ldqa2737 they definitely do and I made upwards of $60k being in a catering hub. I think the change is smart but some managers aren’t following the changes properly bc we’re providing more protein and options under $10.
All in all, I think the associates she got her food from weren’t trained properly. I make these sandwiches and salads daily and they’re fantastic for the price in comparison to where we were before the new CEO
Thus SUCKS 😭. The sandwiches are so expensive but with hardly any meat. I definitely wouldn't buy any of these. Thank you for the review!!! You saved me money.
I encourage yallto learn how to calculate food costs🙄🙄🙄 that's ONE TOMATO that costs like $0.10, TWO PEICES of bacon for like $0.50, a pinch of greens for like $0.50 and a splooge of whatever sauce. A sandwich that costs $3 MAX to make being sold for $9 is ridiculous. They're charging you DOUBLE what the sandwich is made for and POCKETING IT. That's ridiculously over priced 0:41
I haven't had Panera bread in 6 years and when I did, that was my take too "all bread and a smear of filling." I only went because it was what my mother wanted lol.
Please do the survey from your receipt from Panera. The items you got do not look like Panera's commercial for their new line. False advertising for sure. Speaking about the tomatoes on the blt vs the commercial, teeny vs giant. Wow, I will say something else, isn't the bread for a blt toasted? I'll get my blt from the family owned deli down the road from the Panera in our area instead. 😊❤
every time you opened a sandwich and were explaing what was in it, i said where, there's nothing in it. those were some sad skimpy sandwiches. and i totally made the same couch cushion comment you did!
Nothing you said in this video is wrong. I've seen you make better sandwiches out of your car for probably less money...I'm just saying have you thought about a starter food truck????
Agree! She makes sandwiches that are way better than anything Panera could offer. Every time I go I spend at least $15 and I am always dissatisfied with the flavor and amount of food I receive.
I like Panera Bread, but they have small portions with high prices. I don't go there very often. Those sandwiches have nothing on the sandwiches you make.
Over the last 20 years Panera has downsized and have really let themselves go. I remember getting a 1/2&1/2 in HS and it was almost a full panini with a full salad for about $10.
How can they charge so much for so little! 🤯my non American self is shocked especially that tomato one! 1 slice of bread, 1/2 thin slices of tomato, 2 half slices of precooked bacon and pinch of pre mixed salad for $7 😮
I so glad u spoke on the quantity. I love Panera but with those prices n more times than not my order is messed up or they don’t have bread. With all that I don’t go. So much potential I think they to big too quickly
don’t take that crust off, that cinnamon dipped tomato miche is gas ps I work there 🤪 PSPS those portion are awful, I’d never make a sandwich with that lack of ingredients that’s not even remotely close to how much my store puts
Yeah no I feel like subway is expensive enough screw #panera. Just did the hashtags so maybe Panera would actually see your post and maybe do something about this LOL
Please do better. Those sandwiches were not made with love. The prices these places be charging and contine to give out low quality food. Thin ass tomatoes and barely any meat on all that bread. You come out better getting some slices from the deli and building your own sub sandwich at home.
You should compare that Panera $8.50 sandwich to an $8.50 sandwich from Jersey Mike’s, something tells me it’s worlds apart. Panera is so desperate to make up for their messed up energy drinks.
Keep in mind that inflation today is not calculated the same as it was in the late 70's early 80's. Food prices and energy prices are NOT INCLUDED!! The layoffs and location closures will be around the corner. Roast beef pricing to portion is double that of other meats in Walmart lunchmeat wall. I'm 45 and remember my parents growing a garden or we couldn't eat period. And my parents were low middle class in the early 80's. Its not worth eating out anymore at all. 😢
Honestly, I think they've been participating in "shrinkflation" the last few years. I went last Summer after not there in awhile and ordered a bowl of soup. They literally filled it up HALF way, and when I brought it to their attention they said, "that's our normal portion size". Ok, so the bowl of soup is actually a cup??? Ha!
Panera has lost there edge, as a few yrs ago, they were the sh*t. IMO… they should have spent less money on a new logo/ new branding and more the menu.
Honestly if anybody has a McAlisters in their area. It’s very much like a Panera Bread but you get what you pay for. If not more. And in my opinion it tastes way better😭.
For thr cost of the chicken bacon you could have bought a sams club/ costco chicken and a double loaf of good bread and then spend a scootch more for some bacon and feasted for 2 days on chicken bacon sammy! Geez they deserved to be called out
$9 for a tiny thing like that? Ain't nobody's got money for just a taste of a sandwich, we're hungry! Dig out those coupons for a $9 foot long from Subway, jeez lahweez!
Thank you sooo much for showing us inside those pathetic sandwiches, aaaand saving me time and money on disappointment. Shrinkflation is getting exhausting
Panera is so bad it's laughable. They're charging people $9 for a half a sub. It's all bread LOL thank goodness I live near a Publix, that's all i'll say about that lol
I have been so disappointed with them and their not sandwich just sad bread sandwiches. Their prices are just yo much for the sad quality they give you

Hey thank friend!!
Panerai is trash
@@AshlovescondimentsIm sorry 9 for a half a lil much

right and then to be almost and 9+ dollars and that plain without many condiments is disappointing ngl

Same with Taco Bell’s new menu! It’s so expensive now

I did get the steak and i find them too expendive and stingy
What can you expect from glorified hospital food?
Honestly… wtf is $9 for half of a small sandwich that isn’t even filled that much?
Just finished the video. What a flop from Panera!!!! Next thing we know they’re going to try to roll out surge pricing
When jersey mikes gives you a huge sandwich for $7 right?
Honestly though. They’re thrusting to make up for the fact that they’re on their way out. Panera is about to be no more… nobody is willing to pay that much for some over priced hospital food with stingy portions
Honestly, the sandwiches that Ashley makes from her house… Look 10 times better than anything she showed today… Ashley should be on the board for Panera so she can teach them how to do it the right way!

For $6.26 they can afford to put a whole tomato in a half sandwich
Ummmm those sandwiches looked awful. I guess I would stick to my own because they look better.
Those were the most pitiful anemic looking sammidges I've ever seen!! Can we say shrinkflation??!!! I'm not impressed Panera!!!
Ashley, your sandwiches look way better than Panera. 😂
Panera is getting rid of their bakers and going to reheated frozen bread at their stores now, all while increasing prices. None of those sandwiches looked like they were worth $9. I wasn’t a frequent Panera flyer before, but I definitely won’t be going out of my way for it anymore.
You influenced me to make my own damn sandwich at home. For $39 you could buy all the ingredients and many meals. Thanks for the de-influence
I saw someone say Panera is over priced glorified hospital cafeteria food and I couldnt agree more.
Those are the saddest looking sandwiches I've ever seen. Panera those prices for that yall wild
I use to love panera but I refuse to go there now as much as I would love to. They're very stingy with the meat on their sandwiches and that is very disappointing.

Ngl. The new menu is GREAT. I love the green goddess additions. Haven’t tried the latest but the salad/bowls look great. It’s just, the prices.
Tuff spot to b in
Not meaning to pry but doesn't Panera pay above minimum wage? Or is that franchise stores?
@@ldqa2737 they definitely do and I made upwards of $60k being in a catering hub. I think the change is smart but some managers aren’t following the changes properly bc we’re providing more protein and options under $10.

The sandwiches you make look WAYYYY better!
Thus SUCKS 😭. The sandwiches are so expensive but with hardly any meat. I definitely wouldn't buy any of these. Thank you for the review!!! You saved me money.
Panera to me is overrated and overpriced but that second sandwich did look good
Let’s just all agree that Panera is glorified expensive hospital food lol
Yeah.not enough meat for those prices. Damn
I love Panera...but they have decreased the size of their sandwiches and didn't say anything like we wouldn't notice 😏
Those sanwhiches don’t look appetizing or juicy at all for 39$ what a waste of your poor hard earned money 😢
Panera is glorified hospital food 💀
Panera be stingy as hell
Yes thank you for posting it today!
I encourage yallto learn how to calculate food costs🙄🙄🙄 that's ONE TOMATO that costs like $0.10, TWO PEICES of bacon for like $0.50, a pinch of greens for like $0.50 and a splooge of whatever sauce.

That’s Panera. They are the stingiest at the most expensive prices! It’s all bread. We had to stop going there because it’s continuously disappointing
Rather go to subway and get a footlong
That "steak" looks gray and revolting.
I was wondering if anyone else thought this it was sick looking lol
Panera is way over priced for their mediocre food. I'll pass
This looks so bad. $9 for those tiny little sandwiches with hardly any fillings??? That’s wild and a big no to me.
Panera is not worth the prices
At all.
Sandwiches are tiny and all bread,no filling.
Salads are wilted and nasty.
Soups,used mop water.
I haven't had Panera bread in 6 years and when I did, that was my take too "all bread and a smear of filling."
I only went because it was what my mother wanted lol.
Thanks for posting this today 😊❤but can I say “ WHERE’S THE BEEF!?”😮😢😂
😂👍. Exactly, where's the beef,the turkey, chicken?????? All but the bread
The sandwiches are NOT pretty.
All that money for barely anything? They're playing with us at this point. I'm going to keep making my own sandwiches 😂
All of panera's sandwiches are flat and overpriced.
if they're flat depends on the location
All of that food looked pathetic and the prices are ridiculous
Please do the survey from your receipt from Panera. The items you got do not look like Panera's commercial for their new line. False advertising for sure.

The food NEVER looks like the commercial or menu lol
every time you opened a sandwich and were explaing what was in it, i said where, there's nothing in it. those were some sad skimpy sandwiches. and i totally made the same couch cushion comment you did!
No, call Panera out! They are stingy with their overpriced sandwiches. It’s BS!! I’ve been disappointed too many times. We deserve our money’s worth!!
Girl...those are some sad and depressing looking sandwiches!
I recently read Panera is glorified hospital food and now I can’t unthink that. Ever.
the accuracy of it, though. I don't understand panera or it's appeal. Decorated, overpriced bread.
This is absolutely so true!
Nothing you said in this video is wrong. I've seen you make better sandwiches out of your car for probably less money...I'm just saying have you thought about a starter food truck????
They are way over priced and hyped. I think you make better sandwiches and soups lol
Agree! She makes sandwiches that are way better than anything Panera could offer. Every time I go I spend at least $15 and I am always dissatisfied with the flavor and amount of food I receive.
Panera’s food quality has went down. I just go there to get bagels on Sunday
This video solidified why it's a waste of money to eat there. Ugh. Thank you for your sacrifice. ❤
Where's the meat on those sandwiches!? Def not worth 9$
Too expensive, this is why I don't eat out very much anymore. The prices are just silly.
I like Panera Bread, but they have small portions with high prices. I don't go there very often. Those sandwiches have nothing on the sandwiches you make.
I would never ever waste my money on 1/2 dry bread sandwiches
Over the last 20 years Panera has downsized and have really let themselves go. I remember getting a 1/2&1/2 in HS and it was almost a full panini with a full salad for about $10.
How can they charge so much for so little! 🤯my non American self is shocked especially that tomato one! 1 slice of bread, 1/2 thin slices of tomato, 2 half slices of precooked bacon and pinch of pre mixed salad for $7 😮
Better off going to the gas station at this point and getting a hot dog or a brat off the roller. 😂 What a rip off for a bread sandwich and no meat.
With those prices i should have to dislocate my f'n jaw to bite it!!!
Lmao 😂 yes!!!
What a ripoff
panera employee here the ranch is not homemade in the slightest lmao it gets delivered to us in bags
I so glad u spoke on the quantity. I love Panera but with those prices n more times than not my order is messed up or they don’t have bread. With all that I don’t go. So much potential I think they to big too quickly
All the food places think people won’t notice their jacking up price and reducing quality.
I am sorry that is very pitiful for what they made😢
I agree!!! Her homemades are so much better
Your thoughts are right on!
don’t take that crust off, that cinnamon dipped tomato miche is gas
ps I work there 🤪
PSPS those portion are awful, I’d never make a sandwich with that lack of ingredients that’s not even remotely close to how much my store puts
Panera Bread = stingy as hell
Panera sucks. That cheesesteak is criminal. It looks like those sad sandwiches in the paper/cellophane bags at gas stations. Smh
Them sandwiches looks sad af & definitely stingey. Like come on Panera, do betta
Yeah no I feel like subway is expensive enough screw #panera. Just did the hashtags so maybe Panera would actually see your post and maybe do something about this LOL
I'm fine with the bread size, but for that price there needs to be more. Where is the meat Panera.
Why do all the sandwiches look like they're on a diet. The meat to bread ratio is off. Thanks for saving me a trip to try them
Panera is always disappointing to me.
“it’s like all bread!” well, it is called “Panera”, for a reason 🤣😂😅
never been a fan of Panera. Sorry!
Green Goddess! I tried it a while back and it just didn’t taste like, well, anything. Still love your videos!💕
Panera is SO stingy
Please do better. Those sandwiches were not made with love. The prices these places be charging and contine to give out low quality food. Thin ass tomatoes and barely any meat on all that bread. You come out better getting some slices from the deli and building your own sub sandwich at home.
Totally agree these were not Made with love at all!
Prices are overpriced for the underwhelming
Cost too dang much to taste lack luster
You should compare that Panera $8.50 sandwich to an $8.50 sandwich from Jersey Mike’s, something tells me it’s worlds apart. Panera is so desperate to make up for their messed up energy drinks.
Oooo great idea. Also I find it interesting that I’ve never seen a paid ad on social mead for Jersey Mike’s🤔
Panera has become small portions and overpriced. .
Keep in mind that inflation today is not calculated the same as it was in the late 70's early 80's. Food prices and energy prices are NOT INCLUDED!! The layoffs and location closures will be around the corner. Roast beef pricing to portion is double that of other meats in Walmart lunchmeat wall. I'm 45 and remember my parents growing a garden or we couldn't eat period. And my parents were low middle class in the early 80's. Its not worth eating out anymore at all. 😢
Panera is beyond disappointing. Those sandwiches were SAD! Thanks for trying it so we don't have to.
Honestly, I think they've been participating in "shrinkflation" the last few years. I went last Summer after not there in awhile and ordered a bowl of soup. They literally filled it up HALF way, and when I brought it to their attention they said, "that's our normal portion size". Ok, so the bowl of soup is actually a cup??? Ha!
Panera always sounds great, in theory, but never meets my expectations
Also all of those sammies are super small for the price you paid. Shrinkflation is a thing
Panera has lost there edge, as a few yrs ago, they were the sh*t. IMO… they should have spent less money on a new logo/ new branding and more the menu.
They all looked small, sad, and all bread👎🏽
Honestly if anybody has a McAlisters in their area. It’s very much like a Panera Bread but you get what you pay for. If not more. And in my opinion it tastes way better😭.
For thr cost of the chicken bacon you could have bought a sams club/ costco chicken and a double loaf of good bread and then spend a scootch more for some bacon and feasted for 2 days on chicken bacon sammy! Geez they deserved to be called out
$9 for a tiny thing like that? Ain't nobody's got money for just a taste of a sandwich, we're hungry! Dig out those coupons for a $9 foot long from Subway, jeez lahweez!
Thank you sooo much for showing us inside those pathetic sandwiches, aaaand saving me time and money on disappointment. Shrinkflation is getting exhausting
Panera is so bad it's laughable. They're charging people $9 for a half a sub. It's all bread LOL thank goodness I live near a Publix, that's all i'll say about that lol
I’ve always been disappointed in their sandwiches. Flavorless.
Outrageous prices for such medium, ordinary sandwiches. Still not been to Panera...not sure I will. Very sad, since lots of folks say it's so good. 😞
I've stopped going to Panera. It's too over priced for what you get. Those sandwiches were $9?! Ridiculous.
I have been so disappointed with them and their not sandwich just sad bread sandwiches. Their prices are just yo much for the sad quality they give you
All the sandwiches look so sad. And for what there charging. RIPP OFF !!!! thank yiu for trying ❤ now I don’t have to LOL ❤❤
Panera bread is expensive Mediocre trash…don’t waste your time or money…
Panera is overpriced. Geez.
