I have to be honest. I wasn't a fan of Panera. Went to lunch with a bunch of co-workers several years ago in Livermore and felt that the menu was confusing, the portions too small and the prices too high. Additionally, the service was so slow that we ran out of time to eat our lunch because we had to get back to work. Yesterday, we were out in Brentwood to pick up some yummies and I had a Panera Gift Card with us. We had been given this card at least three years ago, but since I wasn't a fan, we never got around to using it. Well, now we were before I lost it. I tried ordering online, which should have been simple but for one tiny problem. We had held the gift card for so long, apparently their current cards have a pin number and mine did not. So I ended up calling the restaurant and placing my order over the phone. I believe that the call takers name was Makayla? She wasn't sure how to look up the value on her terminal either so she asked if I could simply bring it in. She was there waiting for me when I walked in and had to ask someone else to help figure out the value. Soraya took over and payment was accepted. I was instructed on where to go to wait (at the end of the counter), and which way to exit the restaurant once I had my order. It took maybe ten minutes as there were other orders being prepared while I waited. Once it was ready, my order was handed to me and I was thanked. Customer service was very good. Everyone was friendly and multiple employees acknowledged me. We drove to several parks and down to the marina in an attempt to park and eat. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, all were closed. We ended up eating in the parking lot of the BART station. We were both very pleased with the portion size and quality of our meals. Each came in a heavy paper bowl with a plastic lid. There were napkins, plastic forks and knives and napkins packed with our food. In a separate paper bag were our two Fruit Cups. I enjoyed my Baja Grain Bowl enough that I would return to order it again! read more

I never had a issue before but today I placed my bagel order and 1 tub of plain cream cheese and 1 of Chive onion cream cheese tub and they put on my pickup order two plain cream cheese. It's a bummer when you have guests at your house and you cannot provide variety of options and you can't go back to the cafe to get it exchanged. So mad read more

I ordered through doordash and paid $79 and some odd change. I received bread bowls, and a tiny cup of soup which one didn't even fill the bowl. I had to put two cups to fill the bowl. The bread was so hard that it cut into the roof of my mouth. Extremely unhappy for the second time around. Crazy prices for tiny cups of soup. Unbelievable!! read more

Ordered a TURKEY BLT with avocado - instead received chicken and without avocado. The order was to go - so once I got home I realized the error. I tried calling (7:40p PST) however no one answered. Even being inside waiting for the order - you can just see the dirty dishes on most of the return rack ready to be taken piling up aggressively. read more

Panera never fails to disappoint, today I was more disappointed than usual. I only went because we have a cold going around the house and they requested soup. I'm going to keep it straight to the point and simple for this review. The soups were very disappointing. All the soups were not filled up very well and the Mac and cheese in particular was very low. The baked potatoes soup is what I have the most issue with since it was all liquid! Literally no ingredients inside, it's really disappointing that a worker would fill it up like that and not fix the issue instead. I didn't need a spoon for the baked potato soup because it was all liquid, I was able to drink the whole thing ( pictures attached) read more

This place used to be good. I've been going here the past few months because I became part of the sip club to try it out l. This location is always out of ingredients for their food and drinks. It doesn't matter the time of day am or pm. Sometimes, I want to ask them what do you have lol? Additionally some of their drinks are out of order and it has been since June. What's the point of being part of the Sip club if I can't utilize it? Disappointed read more

Panera Bread - Out of drinks on the soda machine. Has been like this since early June. - Sandwiches Near Me - Antioch, California

Prices for this place have gotten ridiculous. $15+ for a sandwich only? You can get an entire meal at other, better places. Ordered several sandwiches and soups to go. Order took forever. We wanted to eat at the park but there were no napkins or utensils in our sealed bag. The bread that came with the soup was rock hard. Soup was cold. Never coming here again. read more

Today has to be the 5th time I tried this location and they still get my order wrong! Today is was the wrong bread on the wrong sandwiches, but usually they just forget part of my order. How do they stay in business?! Do yourself a favor and don't come here! read more

I love the food here first off. I was very happy whe I came in and my order was done early. Kudos to Panera. I looked in my bag and thought the soup wasn't there and said something but then realized it was there and apologized. I heard a counter clerk say whatever under her breath. I mentioned to her that was rude. I have no problem with Panera because the food is always good! However I do work in food service as a counter clerk and regardless the customer is always right. They feed us and tip us and without them we don't have a job. So I'm the future Andrea try to not mouth off to the customer especially when said customer apologizes. read more

We order rapid curbside pickup via the Panera app last week. After placing the order, the order was delayed. We then received an update to input the location number for curbside pickup. However, the food still did not arrive. We ended up going inside and waiting (again). Our 10 minute wait time increased to over 30 minutes. Finally, the food is done but the staff do not bring the food out for curbside pick. They bag the items and place them on the shelf for in store pickup. Why advertise something when you can deliver? No employee apologized for the wait, delay, or lack of curbside pickup. I then called to speak with a manger after getting home and nobody answered the phone. Very irritated with the service at this location. read more

Every time I come to this location it's a problem, the workers are rude, bread is either burnt, stale, or small. Please do not get the food delivered they do not tape anything but the big bag with one small sticker that does nothing. I will try my absolute best to never ever do business with them ever again. I rather spend my money where it's deserved. Either retrain the entire store or hire new employees that are focused more about their job responsibilities instead of drama. read more

I had a terrific steak/grilled red onion sandwich delicious! And my friend let me taste her pizza which I could easily have stolen from her.

Used to love coming here. Today my broccoli cheddar was cold and zero flavor. They were nice and gave me a new hot one. It was runny! Worst thing is to have runny soup when it's supposed to be nice and thick. The baguette is also cold and not soft. Also sitting here there is so many dirty dishes sitting up by the trash and food and trash all over the restaurant. Got here at 2:30 so it's not lunch rush. The people are nice but the food and cleanliness is just not ok. read more

1) Floors are dirty 2) Tables are dirty and uneven 3) Bathrooms are filthy 4) Coffee is cold 5) Soup is cold This place leaves a lot to be desired. Do better! read more

ok, so, this is the 2nd time. Missing items from a delivered online order, last time it was an online order too for pick up. Called the store, as soon as the food got delivered, they said the missing items will be delivered after an hour... waited for 4 hours, nothing came. Tried to call the store again and no one was picking up. read more

I'd give ZERO stars if I could. This is a complete waste of money. Once again I order early, plenty of time, I get the text "we're sorry but it's taking longer" EVERY SINGLE TIME. And today I paid $34.00 including tip for a BLT for coworker and my pick 2. I order Mac and cheese small and a salad. NO SALAD. But don't call during lunch because they are busy. No worth it and I'll never order again. I work at a school and have 30 minutes for lunch. So I hope you enjoy the salad that I ordered. And don't even think of asking for a refund. They'll say "can you prove you didn't get it?" Well I bet it's sitting there or someone else got a nice surprise. This place is horrible. read more

Would not recommend this location to anyone, especially with food allergies. I ordered the You Pick Two on DoorDash, ordered a cup of broccoli cheddar soup and a half a roasted turkey avocado sandwich. When I received my food, everything was correct except for the sandwich, I made the mistake of not inspecting my sandwich, bit into it and tasted an almond. I'm allergic to nuts and I realized the sandwich was some almond chicken sandwich. I called Panera to report the issue and nobody ever called me back. read more

The bread is the only good thing. The service is terrible. One very slow person the counter, one very slow sandwich maker. Took 20 minutes to get one sandwich.

It's a typical QSR. If you like alright foods and cool selection of drinks, cool. It's awesome with the drink club thing I guess. Personally I wouldn't go out my way to get it, if I'm in the area it's a different story. read more

Customer service is bad. I never receive exactly what I ordered. I don't want free food or refunds I want what I ordered and paid for.

This location is horrible, especially for takeout orders! I used to love going to Panera until I started going to this location. My orders are always wrong or mislabeled. I understand that we're all human and can make mistakes sometimes, but the staff, including the team manager, show no accountability, empathy, or willingness to fix errors. I somehow always get the blame for their shortcomings instead of an apology. I'm done wasting my money here. read more

I recently subscribed to the monthly coffee offer. They were offering the first 3 months free. You can order coffee or tea every 2 hours during the trial period. The selection was good. You can pick from iced coffee, hot coffee, decaf coffee or hot tea with different flavors. It's been a couple of weeks since I first subscribed. Since I like tea and coffee, and the deal is good, I already planned to continue my subscription once the free trial ends. Sometimes I will order my drink with pastries since their cinnamon rolls are really good. However, I think the manager and employees really don't like seeing my name anymore. Today when I order my tea on the mobile app, once I got there, the manager said they had no hot water. I guessed they were just too busy and so they ran out of hot water. I just made the hot tea order again, but the employee there said to me, "Only tea! We have tea and water over there. Go get it yourself." They gave me a dirty cup and there was no hot water but just tea bags. Bye Panera Bread, there are a lot of good restaurants. The customer service and your employee and manager's attitude will make you lose business despite the quality of your food. read more

Avoid this place. Since we moved out here, Panera has not got my to go order right (I think at least 5 orders). My salads are always missing something. I pay extra for extra chicken and never get it. One time I had no chicken at all. This time I was missing my avocado which I had to now pay extra for, as well as missing two other items I added. They need new management. I paid $20 for a damn salad that was not worth it. I have finally learned my lesson and will take my money elsewhere. Never returning. read more

This is a PSA, for the slow people a Public Service Announcement. Do not patronize the Panera Bread on Lone Tree in Antioch/Brentwood. I ordered two (two) full salads for $30. I picked up my order which the Put in 1/2 order containers telling me it was the same as a full order because they gave me four containers. This was not true because I have order a half order salad from them before and it was full. Not only did i discover that i paid for a Full salad and only got a half because both containers fit iron one of the half but there was a hair in one of the containers. However that was on me. I noticed that NONE of the employees making the food had hair nets or caps that prevented hair from falling in. I will never go back to this restaurant again. The best thing about it was it had lots of empty tables available now I know why that is not sanitary. People you have been warned. Go to this establishment at your own risk. According to the employee, after I asked why i had 4 small containers, they did not have any FULL containers. This is some BS. Put some hair nets on curly top. read more

I am only making this review to say something about the wonderful service we got from the cashier Gabriela! She was the cashier that helped us when my two daughters and I ordered. The way this world is now a days we need more Gabriela's in it! She was so thoughtful kind, had an infectious smile and was so patient with all the questions my girls and I asked about different things in the menu! We only ended up ordering grilled cheese and tomato soup but when we walked away even my young daughters said mom she was so nice Thank you for your kindness and being a good role model to my daughters It was very appreciated read more

Have ordered food as delivery through Panera many times. 3 out of the 4 times we've ordered the chicken Caesar salad and had them missing the chicken, even though it's on the ticket. Tonight our delivery was missing our drink! Tried calling the restaurant 6 times to let them know and they do not answer the phone. Will not be ordering from them anymore. Very poor customer service. read more

Chiiilleee, if I can give 0 stars, I would. As someone who has been working for customer service for 10+ years (and still does), I expected a little more hospitality. Like I get there's busy days and workers get frustrated, but dang! I walked into the store & the workers talking to each other; not acknowledging myself or the other guests that walked in the store... mind you, it literally was not busy at all. I went to the little kiosk to order my food since no one bothered to help me and I was just super confused. Once my food was "ready", I walked up to the pick-up counter to claim it. To my confusion, my stuff was still not ready. When I went to ask about it, the guy gave me hella attitude!! I literally wasn't giving this dude any type of attitude prior, so I was just shocked/annoyed/over it. I finally get home to a long day of working two jobs & super hyped to eat my sandwich. I ordered my usual: Turkey bacon Avocado (no bacon) Yall, there's BARELYYYY ANY TURKEY IN THE SANDWICH! Just Turkey crumbs... CRUMBS!!! I pretty much paid all of that to get a veggie sandwich! Ridiculous... DO BETTER. Lone Tree Panera! read more
