    The best broccoli cheddar soup and 1/2 tuna sandwich is the best pick for 2 deal. FYI I when you order they are kiosk to order meal.

    The interior of the Santa Fe Panera Bread restaurant was filthy and the delivery of the food incredibly slow. Sitting on the bench and waiting for the food was disgusting, with the floor littered with trash and dirty dishes left on many tables around us. The workers were walking around like zombies, looking miserable and detached from the customers and their jobs. Nothing about our food orders was complicated, yet it took more than twenty minutes for the food to appear at the counter. If we hadn't already paid we would have walked out, for sure. We'll never go back.

    Chicken avacado sandwich

    We started coming to Panera during the pandemic, it was good during those winter days when you stood in line to go to the grocery store for a few hours in the cold. The soups were always good, the sandwiches were hot and melty and the salads had nice little accompaniments. Now, sadly, those days are gone. The restaurant itself always clean and nice, yet no matter the temp out side you can count on the climate control to be set to "meat locker". The self check outs are actually nice, you can browse the menu without feeling the pressure of holding someone up in line behind you. There are 2 major issues here, and one of them I was willing to overlook until recently. First, the food always gives me and my family bubble guts. Whatever, you just clear the rest of your night. The second is the food quality and portion size has really diminished. See the attached pic of the bacon avacado sandwich.... It had like 4 bacon bits on it! They've also hidden the cups and drink stations. Panera could come back, but I doubt we will be back

    Clam chowder

    I was so excited to finally dine in Panera after a long time. I missed their frescas and bread. However, I was sorely disappointed with my experience at this location. Usually when there's an issue with our order, they make it right. Last year, we had a similar issue about toasted bread. It is a hit or miss with service. But this time, it was just passively awful. We always order their hot French baguette as a snack. The only difference is that we ordered through the kiosk bc of the pandemic. We put a note that said "hot bread please" "+ thin sliced." It wasn't until I went to pick up the order they told us that they can't put the baguette in the oven for us, and to use a microwave?!!! The food prep person was nice, but apparently management couldn't do what we asked. Another person tried to tell is it was OUR fault for asking thin sliced, even though they could have put the baguette in the oven FIRST, before slicing it. They wouldn't even reheat a new one unless we paid for it. The evidence is in the pictures. How is it our fault when we were specific in our notes? This isn't the Panera I remember where they take customer satisfaction seriously. First of all, microwaving bread makes the bread rubbery. Bc of that statement, I wasn't happy. Everyone knows, toasted bread hits differently. On top of it all, our broccoli and cheddar soup wasn't even hot at all, and the baguette that they accompany it with was COLD?! Normally, it comes hot and crisp as you bite into it, and best dipped on HOT soup. It just reminded me of how they literally stick the soup bags in a hot water, and the bread in a heater. You had one job. And it wasn't even busy. There were 2 small parties dining in. If they lack care in their job, imagine what else they're lacking in. My SO used to work for Panera and knows how it's run. This was unacceptable. I'll be reporting this to corporate. Side note: you have to ask someone to get a drink refill, i.e they bring you a new cup each time.

    Napa Almond chicken salad sand which

    Napa Almond chicken salad sand which by far my favorite choice at Panera. Really love this place a little bit more on the healthier side and has many options. If you and a partner or friends can't agree type of meal for the day this is a good option! From pizza-salad they have a lot. The staff is also very friendly no complaints! 10/10

    Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt combo
    Gil G.

    I love this place! I used to travel on business quite a bit all over the US and I would always look up a location for lunch. My favorite is the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt with chips and lemonade. So tasty! This particular location is in the heart of Midtown at Coronado Mall. Parking is plentiful unless it's the holiday season. Our wait time to order and neal pick up was ~5 minutes. Clean table, quiet atmosphere. The bathrooms require a key code to open. Annoying, but they have to do this due to the mall location. My order portion was as expected but the person I went with ordered a bowl of soup that was filled about half of the way. I guess that's normal but it was disappointing.

    I was surprised to like it as much as I did: it's a professional operation if not an especially tasty repast. The food was plentiful and not too outrageously priced (by today's post-inflation standards) and the staff was pretty on-it. The room was pretty clean (bus yourself, but they had people cleaning up, too) and was pleasant for conversation with comfortable seating even when it got pretty busy. Ordering is either via a snaky line that takes forever or a serve-yourself kiosk (what I did) which is intuitive enough - but why are you asking for a tip? Getting your sandwich was a little bit of a clusterfrack - there are a mob of DoorDash guys blocking your access to where you're supposed to pick it up when you get the text, despite the best efforts of the expediter/manager to herd them aside. Sandwiches and chips weren't especially great: bread struck me as a little insipid and I don't love how you have to pay for stuff (cheese, avocado) that should really be part of the sandwich to begin with (a cold turkey sandwich on fluffy bread, chips and a drink cost me over $20 with a small tip for the nice counterfolks who eventually handed me the sandwich around the DoorDash drivers). But they leave you alone for as long as you want to stay and the drinks are of nice quality (certainly the best thing there - good iced tea/coffee). NB - they require a code to access the bathrooms due no doubt to the "urban outdoorsmen" who frequent the mall area - the code was 1894# when we were there.

    Today is my birthday and I'm going for all my free stuff around Albuquerque today. I went inside to ask for my free pastry but they said I had to sign up. So I went back to my car and did so put in my order and picked up it with the quick pick up at their location it all took less then 10 minutes. The lady at the register was so nice to let me know about the email list. She even helped me find the quick pick up when I went back in.

    I used to work for this company as a teenager, and my goodness this food has gone downhill. Stale bread, tiny portions in unfilled sandwiches, and mass produced bakery items didn't used to be what this place stood for, but I guess quality has taken a major hit since this place fully switched from a Paradise Bakery to a Panera Bread. So consistently disappointed lately! For example, I got a Napa Almond Chicken Sandwich today. It's a longtime staple of Panera (and was on the menu years ago at Paradise, too). This sandwich and the tuna sandwich used to be something I looked forward to as a healthy meal. Today, the bread is stale at best and the sandwiches hardly have more than a teaspoon of actual meat. Today, I stopped by and tried one of the new lattes. Since when do customers have to get up and get their own order here? Latte was like 40% whipped cream (see picture after I spooned it off). Why do I bother coming back?

    A bit overpriced and the ambiance is lacking with lots of dirty tables. Seems cleaning equipment is left out in the open. Overrated food.

Even though its a small parking lot in a strip plaza. Fresh hand pulled noodles are good, which were a little soft for my personal preference, but still good. It may sound strange but things with pork will taste porky. My girlfriend doesn't like pork, but can eat it, but she ordered the pork and shrimp dumplings and it was too porky for her. For me, it tasted just right because this is the flavors I grew up with. The dumpling dough had a nice texture that I prefer. My Ramen had a big fatty pieces of pork which is what I like. They didnt skimp. It was a good bowl of noodle soup. Wouldn't say its the best ramen I ever had, but it was good. Beef roll was good, I would say its one of the better ones I've seen in ABQ where its really filled with beef. Would recommend this. We also got soup dumplings and I will say that we didnt get the proper spoons for them. At first I thought they just didnt offer them, but looking at photos, we never got them. It makes a difference for your eating experience and enjoyment. We will definitely be back as this is one of the better Chinese restaurants in the area and you really get some real Chinese variety and not your basic generic stereotypical menu.

I must say the last time I went I asked what ingredients are in the egg salad, tuna salad, and chicken salad because I have food allergies. The server said, "Oh they don't tell us. All the recipes are secret." Ok well I sort of get that but sort of don't having allergies. So beware if you do too! I decided to take my chances and order the Three Salad meal. This comes with three scoops of salad; one of egg salad, one of tuna, and one of chicken salad. It's served with tomatoes. The salads were very tasty! Unfortunately there was something that was undetectable in the chicken salad and I felt too weird to eat something I couldn't place so I threw that salad away. I asked for crackers for my salads but they didn't have any. Booooooo. I also ordered a warm blueberry muffin and it was scrumptious!! My mom got an egg salad sandwich with a cup of French Onion soup which she said was delicious. This place is decorated the exact same way as it was in the 80s when I was a child, so it's fun to go with my mom. It's ver nostalgic. However, I won't go on my own or suggest it to friends now.
