I can’t speak to Panera but pre-pandemic we would have a weekly office lunch catered by Corner Bakery. The sandwiches, salads and desserts were pretty good.

Potbelly for the win

Be aware that there is a very vocal "Panera is disgusting food" minority on DCUM. Anytime Panera is mentioned, they lose their minds.

I've been to a number of work lunches where they catered from Panera and it's been popular.

Corner Bakery is gross!

Panera has many more options than Cornet Bakery as well.

My personal preference is Panera. I think Potbelly’s is horrible.

Just want to say I’d be happy with any of these options. The only thing I don’t like is when the choices are really plain meat and cheese sandwiches.
The Panera chicken salad is really good. Probably the best chain chicken salad out there.
The potbelly vegetarian options are really good.

I feel the same. The kids who work at the Potbelly's near me are nice and are quick on service but the place always looks dirty even behind the counter. Even when Panera gets slammed, their work area is kept tidy. The Jersey Mikes near me is always disgusting and the manager is disgusting.

Something in Panera's bread causes stomach issues for me. I have no idea what it is but it's consistent and limited to Panera.

OP here, thanks for the replies. Interestingly I found a better deal for party catering with Fresh Market. Quality was excellent and price fair. Very satisfied
