not sure what's going on with panera, but the quality and portions seemed to have decreased. food wasn't bad, but was not what it used to be.

I love this place! Employees are friendly and the service is awesome. Nayeli, the manager , does a great job, my order was accurate and delicious.
October 2025 visit
Quick lunch for two. We sat outside in the shade on metal tables and chairs. A few small birds around, asking for crumbs - but not too friendly to the point of stealing food from your plate.
I ordered the grilled chicken avo BLT (cold) sandwich with a bag of chips and a bottle of water.
Sandwich was available quickly. Not a busy location at nearly 2pm on a weekday.
Food was good, ingredients seemed quite fresh.
I'd probably drop by again when I'm in the area and maybe get a pastry or cookie.
Plenty of free parking in the shopping center lots.
Also, the baked goods looked quite tasty on the displays.

great sandwich. Toasted Italiano
Broccoli/cheese Soup & 1/2 sandwich is soooo good. Their green ice tea is the bomb. (There is papaya fruit in it too).

I LOVE panera. too bad they took away the turkey avocado BLT. was my favorite item. price is just a lil bit high. service is pretty fast. dining environment is also nice. restrooms are clean. i will say dining area is a bit convoluted

It was my first time at Panera bread and I was really excited to try their sandwiches. They had way more options to choose from. I love their setup which temps me to get all. Me and my friend got the spicy chicken fiesta and chipotle chicken sandwiches. The food was fresh and the meat was juicy. Their flavors were good and on point. I loved their service as well. Overall I enjoyed the meal. Also you get to choose an apple, chip or bagel on the side. Good place for some healthy sandwiches.

Ordered a salad and sandwich. Salad had dry wilted lettuce and only a couple of other salad items. Could have saved money and bought a packet salad at safeway which would have been better.
Place was dirty with lots of left over food spills on tables and floors.y first and last time going to panera.
