Panera Bread in San Diego

“I reduced 1 star on food because the menu had changed eliminating my favorite foods. I eliminated 1 star on service because they no longer bring your food to your table. Instead you get a buzzer that tells you when your food is ready and you have to walk up to the counter to pick it up.“

“Panera Bread has consistently good quality food, a varied menu, and customization offerings. The personnel are welcoming, hard working, personable and professional. The dining room is well maintained and clean (tables and floor/carpet) and the trash/dirty dishes area is attended to frequently. The seasonal menu specialties are always fun.
JUAN is the BEST. I misplaced my phone and Juan stopped to personally assist me actively- he found it! A wonderful kindness to a traveling person panicking over a temporarily missing phone. Thank you again Juan!“

“I love using the app to order ahead here. Their rapid pick-up shelf makes it incredibly easy to just walk in, grab your food, and completely skip the lunch line. The mac and cheese was perfectly rich and creamy, and the dining area inside is clean and quiet enough to get some quick work done. Perfect option when you need a healthier fast-food alternative.“

“Their was a manager and two female employees that were working at 0615 in the morning, I thought a large order for bagels went through, but it had not and they got the order done quickly and brought everything out to me. That was one of the best service I have had in California.“

“Follow-up / Positive Update: Improved Coffee & Service at Panera 4S Ranch
​Hello,
​I previously reached out regarding concerns about the coffee quality at your 4S Ranch location. I wanted to take a moment to provide a follow-up, as I believe credit should be given where it is due.
​I have noticed a significant improvement in both the coffee quality and the overall service recently. The Dark Roast is back to the standard I expect from Panera—fresh and properly brewed.
​Furthermore, the atmosphere at this location has improved immensely thanks to the new team. I’d like to specifically highlight Jordan, who has been providing exceptional service. It makes a real difference when the staff is both professional and welcoming.
​Thank you for addressing the previous issues. It’s great to be able to enjoy my coffee at the 4S Ranch location again.
​Best regards

“First of all, this particular location has excellent friendly staff, that enjoy customer service, every single employee was pleasant and recognized repeat customers and havld always a smile.

The food was alwylays good, live for breakfast the healthy Classic Avocado Sandwich and mybeife enjoyed the Asiago Roll Faemhouze double.

The Everything cookie melts in your mouth and you have to restrain yourself to stop at qty 1.

But let me repeat, the manager responsible for the staff selection, knows how to picknthe right people.u“

“Food was hot and tasty. The dining room is large! One of the biggest I’ve seen. Lots of outdoor seating too. All the staff I interacted with were very nice. The dining room did have a strong funky smell that was off-putting. But it was clean to the eye.“

“May the Manager is consistently nice, sweet and professional All of the time!! I always feel so welcome whenever I visit this location and whether or not she's just really good at her job or it's just the way she is it feels personal and authentic. I hope everyone who reads this review or who visits this location has a similar experience. Thank you for being so Awesome!“
