Panera Bread

Panera Bread is always a solid choice when you're looking for a casual, quick meal that still feels a step above typical fast food. On this visit, I ordered the BLT sandwich, broccoli cheddar soup, and a cinnamon roll, and everything hit the spot.The BLT sandwich was fresh, with crisp lettuce and perfectly cooked bacon. The bread had a nice texture and a light toast, but I found myself wishing the portion size was a bit more substantial. The broccoli cheddar soup was creamy and comforting, exactly as expected, and paired well with the baguette that came on the side. For dessert, the cinnamon roll had a soft, gooey center with just the right amount of sweetness, making for a nice treat to round out the meal.Service here was straightforward and efficient. The staff were polite and quick to prepare the order, even though the restaurant was moderately busy. I appreciated that the dining area was clean and well-maintained, with staff visibly working to keep up with the flow of customers.The ambience is what you'd expect from Panera--warm, inviting, and casual. It's a good spot to grab a meal or spend time catching up on work or chatting with friends. While the food is consistently enjoyable, the pricing can feel a little steep for what you're getting, especially for a chain restaurant.Overall, it's a reliable spot that delivers on flavor and comfort. While not groundbreaking, Panera does a great job of offering consistent quality, and I'll likely find myself back again when craving a casual, satisfying meal.

I wanted to take a moment and recognize the manager. About 6 months ago I was pretty upset because I wanted to order a breakfast sandwich about 15 min before breakfast ended and the staff didn't allow me to order it. I just came into town from TN and felt super upset because they just didn't show any effort, the drive through girl didn't give any effort when I was clearly upset. I decided to call and speak with the manager after I left and he apologized and made it right, right away. He was willing to Uber the sandwich to me which was appreciated. I drove back and got it but the effort is what made me return. I didn't post a review because I wanted to give it time and see how my experience would change the next couple times I came in. I've probably only visited this location 3 more times since but I've been happy. Today I got a salad and a coffee- my coffee and salad are great and the gentleman at the window had a smile on his face and was very kind. I had a bad day and sometimes that's all it takes. Customer service is a rarity now and I do appreciate it. Thank you to the staff at Panera and the management.

my condolences to the Panera family for the lossof one of their excellent team players. RIP Charlie

They charge me $76 for half a sandwich and a bowl of soup times two through Uber eats never again

Once a great place for lunch, now more of a place for people to use their power supply to power their phones or laptop to do work for hours for free. I got the half soup and sandwich combo and a kitchen sink cookie and $25 later realized I was at Panera, not at a gourmet deli where soup is made fresh and sandwiches are topped with deli meat. My order was the toasted Italian sandwich and the Mexican corn chowder. The food was ok, soup was decent for a pre packaged soup, the sandwich had good flavor but I counted 1 slice of ham I believe and 3 salami. Definitely not worth $25. Doesn't even come with a drink just a piece of hard stale French bread. The kitchen sink cookie was good but not worth almost $7 which is more than most boutique cookie places. Service was non existent as you just order at the kiosk and pick up while ready. The tables that were available were not wiped even though no one was really there eating.

The lunch special is a really good deal. You get to pick two half portions for $8.99. You can't get lunch anywhere for that price.The food tastes fresh, but nothing is special about the food.Nothing is special about the service either. Like a fast food restaurant that you order at the counter.This panera has a big dining area. It is quite busy during lunchtime. HAPPY SANDWICHING!!

This is my local Panera Bread. I've been coming to this one for awhile and more so now with their sip club subscription.Parking can get pretty rough at times so I normally park in the center of the shopping plaza and walk a few steps to the restaurant.This one is pretty clean compared to other Panera Breads I've been to and they always seem to have a full staff that is friendly and helpful with top notch service.Most of the time the pickup orders are ready in the cubbies along the wall ready to be picked up without the need to ask the kitchen when the order will be ready compared to others where you need to let the staff know you're there to pack the order.

Tried one of the new items and it was great. Will definitely try some more of them on my next visit. The chicken bacon ranch sandwich was really delicious and a good portion size. Friendly service today.

This Panera is on the rise trying to compete with both Starbucks across and a Nektor juice bar next door, I have not seen 3 different stores in 1 place before, maybe 2 but never 3. Although it was pretty compact inside, they made up for a large patio seatings outside, their self serve kiosks have all the cups installed and ready to grab. Plus for the first time, plastics utensils at the drink stations, this is the only location had offered that to the public. Fresh brewed coffee that didn't taste like days old, also employees will accommodate you for your needs, whatever you're asking.

Drove all the way down here from Aliso Viejo, to be so disappointed with the options no more breakfast after 1030 so I had the bacon macaroni cheese with baguette, over $10 and the portion was so small, my mom's bagel look like half it's original size also and it was almost $10 with her coffee, won't be coming back soon
