ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED right now, I've been ordering lunch from Panera and todays the last day. We have a construction project that we're working on in Beaumont so this place has been a regular. My coworker found an insect in his salad and it was alive. There's obviously a problem with this Panera and it's clear that their kitchen is disgusting!!!! I called the restaurant to inform them of this and all the manager had to say was she doesn't have insects in our kitchen. Well obviously you do, and instead of arguing with me how about finding solutions to your constant problems at this panera. It's obvious with all these negative yelp reviews theres a problem and management needs to STEP UP. Definitely not ordering from here any more!! read more

I wanted to give a shout out to Charlie who was working the register today. We were having a hard time getting the self checkout to work right and he went above Nd beyond to help us - hard to find workers that do that this day and age so thanks for making our day Charlie! You are doing a great job! read more

They made mistakes on my order again! It is third time they miss some item on my order and the staff not say sorry or doesn't feel like is their false. read more

So I've been to SEVERAL Panera restaurants in my day and have received basic, average friendly service. This afternoon I visited the one in Beaumont and was immediately greeted by the super friendly and energetic Steven. He had a smile on his face and was ready to assist us in determining which hot sandwich we wanted to share. We went with the bacon turkey and a full Southwest chicken salad to share. He personally delivered the meal to our table and stated "If there is any thing else I can do for you ladies, just let me know and I'll be happy to help". The restaurant was very light and open, tables were clean and drink area was orderly. You could tell that the employees got along well by their light hearted banter. Sandwich was ok, their bread is so delicious that it's the star of any sandwich. The salad was good & fresh, and the creamy ceasar dressing helped bring some flavor. I will be back for their classic soups once the cold weather returns to blowing Beaumont. read more

The people who work here have to deal with so much bologna. When I arrived it was during the lunch hour blitz so it of course was slammed. After waiting a while, I went to the counter to see if my order was ready. To my surprise there was a Karen and Ken acting hysterical and self-entitled. To my understanding, something from their order was stolen from the counter and they were demanding a cash refund... after using debit. Doesn't work that way. The team of course was willing to offer a refund, but via card and not cash. Oh boy, the doubles K's didn't like this and started going of tangents about how everything was managed poorly and unsafe and acting like children. Why did they think it was unsafe? Because the staff were handling cash without gloves... but yet Karen and Ken didn't seem to care about being inside the building without a mask. Totally logical thing to be concerned about if you're a hypocrite. Anyways I got what I ordered and nothing was wrong with it. Portions were on point and it was delicious. Everything I come to expect from my local PB. read more

I have only one complaint; I didn't get there in time for a bagel, apart from that it was a pleasure to visit. It was easy to order and pay for the food. As we have come to expect, both the service and food were great. I encourage you to stop in when your in the area. Be sure to try a bear claw, it's my favorite. read more

I've eaten at many Panera locations, but this one lacks in a few areas that could be easily fixed by efficient management. Today is a manager standing talking to two people, one person is behind the register taking a catering order for the next day while there were five people in line. I had a problem with the ordering pad, and it directed me to ask an associate for help. It was difficult to get the attention of an associate even though I was standing right in front of two of them. I don't know if anyone ever reads these, but if they do, you'd be advised to train your workers and managers to pay attention to what is going on in their workplace. read more

I'm only giving this Panera one star when they really don't deserve any. This sandwich was the worst thing I've ever bought and this is not the first time that something like this has happened with this Panera. Just look at this crap. My recommendation? Don't Go There. read more

Panera Bread - This is SUPPOSED to be a chipotle chicken sandwich. Can you believe this? - Sandwiches Near Me - Beaumont, California

Honestly, probably the worst service I've gotten out of Panera in a long time. I was texted an email that my order was ready and when I walked up for rapid pick up the gal was very rude and said that they were busy and that it wasn't ready. I have no problem with that. Other than why tell me that it was if it wasn't. Then when I asked for cups for my catering drinks, they told me there was a charge. And I got a whole box of coffee and they didn't even give me any sugars or creamers, and it was just package and professionally. read more

Staff at this location are exceptional! They are so polite and courteous. They welcomed me with a great good morning and were very attentive when taking my order. Seems like this establishment has a great team environment and that makes coming here a pleasure. The food was fresh and delicious. Inside is very clean with updated tables and chairs. This is the best Panera I have been to. read more

let me start off by saying we have tried seven times with this location... seven times!!! jonathan f. the manager, is the absolute worst manager i have ever encountered. after my husband was put on hold and never returned to i called on my phone, and my sons phone, just to get through to the manager....jonathan f!!! he did not offer any explanation, nothing! he doesn't care how he manages his staff, he doesn't care that his staff continually steals from the customers by not placing items in the bag.... seven different times over seven months!!! we order at least 2 bread bowls (every time), and they never give them to us! you know what their offer is??? we can drive back over 17 miles and pick it up!! are you kidding me!!? i doordashed 5 of those times.... its their job to make sure the items are in their closed papar bags!!! not my dashers!!! you know what...jonathan f. offered one excuse....you know what that was...."sorry, it's been hectic." i responded with....for the last 7 months???! because as far as i was aware the restaurant industry is suffering due to the pandemic! i'm getting ahold of the gm, district, and regional manager along with complaints to corporate!! jonathan f. you made the wrong choice by offering nothing more than an "it's been hectic" ... you are a poor example of a manager!!! you did not state you would speak with anyone, nor would you yourself start checking quality...nothing!!!!! all you did was say "it's been hectic." and i dont want any free food, which you did not offer any way, nor did you offer my money back... not to mention no napkins, or spoons were placed in our order. jonathan f. you might think its fine practice to allow your employees to not put in items that were paid for, so you can keep your stok up, and resell the same item multiple times, but lets see what your upper management thinks!! read more

Very much like the other reviews, the quality of food is ridiculous! I ordered the Asian Chicken salad and arrived home only to find a container of lettuce and some chicken with wontons and NOTHING a else not even dressing. our order was 38.0 for a salad and two bowls of soup and a half sandwich. I don't mind paying for quality but like many before me have said it's not even something the grocery store would sell in their deli For half the price. Sad but i guess that speaks to why NO ONE a was in drive thru at 6 o'clock at night. read more

6/10/21 Thursday @ 12:12pm I only gave one star. You deserve zero. I ordered 2 chipotle chicken sandwiches, salad , drinks and bagel, cream cheese. I spent $43 dollars. I drive home and my two hot chipotle chicken sandwiches are missing I live 10 minutes away so not just around corner to find out my food is missing! This was a waste of my time and money to drive back and the manager offered was a free pastry and that's ridiculous. What a waste of my time and money!! Horrible customer service and I will never go back!! read more

The food was good and everyone was very friendly but I am giving three stars because of the check. I was examining our check and I saw that gratuity was added. They didn't ask nor did I see anything stating it would be added. It should be the customers choice if they are going to tip or not. read more

Panera Bread - Gratuity added without asking - Sandwiches Near Me - Beaumont, California

Kindly ignore the exclusive club of Yelpers that seemingly line up in anticipation of an establishment's opening, then proceed to relentlessly bash the place once the doors open for not immediately being a finely tuned instrument of tasty service. First week or two was rough, but I've gone twice in the past three days and it's smooth sailing now. The soups are hot and delicious; a welcome commodity to an area that was completely void of such and I am over-the-top grateful for it. The sandwichs are delicious and put together with care. The service is friendly, and the establishment is kept squeaky clean. Not sure what else they can do to appease the masses except maybe give out free foot rubs while patrons eat. Love the place... Instant favorite. Sometimes nothing hits the spot on a cold December day like a hot bowl of soup, and this spot does the trick. read more

Interesting, I came here opening day and there was no Panera to check into. Now all of a sudden in 6 days there are reviews. They are literally just opening up so I feel like people should cut them some slack. Although just opening doesn't really justify running out of EVERYTHING. They should have had extra. New things are far and few in this area they should've predicted crowds.... read more

This a new restaurant and we had lunch there. Restaurant was clean and is part of a chain. My first time in this company so had to figure out how to order. Ordered soup and salad. To me the soup was ok but not that great. Salad tasted a lot like a salad May try it again some day when I have more time to figure out the menu read more

Hi I purchased a 2 meal combo, and my sandwich had just a sliver of turkey and one little piece of avocado. What a disappointment. I was at the restaurant in Beaumont ca, in the drive thru. I bought the combo 3 cookies and a regular drink and it was over 20.00, I don't mind paying a higher fee for Quality, but this was a big let down.if I owned this establishment I would up the product quality! read more

Oof. I didn't want to leave them a bad review the first time I visited because they had literally just opened. Now, revisiting a while after they opened their doors, the same issues persist. I understand training takes time and there are kinks whenever a business starts in a new area. However, there are some fundamentals that a restaurant needs to get figured out fast. This Panera Bread location is struggling with two primary issues. First, the speed. I get that it's busy since people are curious to try out the new place in town, but 7-10 minutes to deal with each customer in the drive thru is crazy. Sonic is backed up too, but my experience through the drive through - with much larger orders - has been pretty expedient each time. Second, food quality and quantity. I've ordered two sandwiches since the opening. Went home to discover both were burnt and contained very little meat. Most of the meat was over cooked and had a jerky texture. The pastas and salads have been better, but it's difficult to mess those up. This past time, they also forgot an item. With how many staff are shoved in the kitchen, stuff like this should not be mixed. I want to be excited for Panera, but they really need to get their act together. read more

Been here several times since they opened. Sandwiches are made with fresh ingredients and are very good! Disappointed with the soups and I have tried them all, but the bread is fabulous ! Me and my wife just went this week.. we both had half a sandwich and a cup of soup, I had a small soda and the bill was like $28.00. I like Panera but too expensive to go very often! read more

This place sucks. The portions are so small for the amount of food you get. Everything is so expensive not worth it.

As a long time customer of Panera Bread around the country, this location is very disappointing. The demographics for this store include two +55 communities (over 5,000 people) many with walkers, canes etc. Yet, they do NOT offer "Order from the table" or will they deliver your food without specifically asking. Their surrounding locations, about 20 miles away, do have these features. Even the multiple fast-food eateries adjacent have "table service". Additionally, observe the soup pricing! A "cup" contains is 2 ladles whereas a "bowl" is 3, but the pricing is more than1/3 more. read more

Very, very,very slowwww. Been coming here for 2 weeks now and no blueberry scones. Only Orange. Apparently, everyone loves orange. News flash it's a bakery. BAKE!!!!. How long does it take to cut and toas a bagel. Apparently Very long time. If you are in a hurry DO NOT COME HERE read more

Very bad that you have to wait 37 minutes to get your order you guys have to know the lunch time Is not a game to let people wait I didn't eat my lunch because of you guys today very bad and I have to call to get my money back after 2 hours they cancel my order read more

Panera is honestly a staple in our house now. There is no other place that you can grab a "fresh"/fast meal that is (mostly) consistent each time and tastes good. They seem to use decent ingredients and we haven't had any major issues when we takeout food. Occasionally they'll run out, but have other things in place to make sure things go well. My grandparents practically live on the turkey chili and I love the BBQ chicken mac n cheese/fuji apple chicken salad. The portions are smaller than what you might expect for the price and that's where my star comes off, but they don't set the price - corporate does. My rapid pickup orders always come out fast and hot. Desserts are good and the smoothies are good too. I really don't understand where the bad ratings come from, they're a god send for the Beaumont food desert. read more

This Panera is a joke. Incredibly mis managed, yet usually very busy. Verifone kiosks often are " fussy" ; Panera Corp would do well to find a different provider. Often out of coffee ; sometimes the coffee is cold. This morning ,my friend waited 25 minutes for decaf and that was after they were told they were out. My dark roast was cold and another 25 minutes before they brought out hot coffee. Bathrooms are dirty and toilets sometimes disgusting. Went this morning and went thru three ceramic cups before i found a clean one ; I guess they just wash 'em and throw 'em on the counter without looking. I'm not talking a speck or smudge , these were Dirty. Floor was last mopped in 2020 I think. Outside eating area is generally dirty with nasty stains on the concrete. We are regulars and if it weren't for my friends I wouldn't go here on a bet. read more

Ordered a toasted & sliced bagel with cream cheese and a cinnamon crunch latte on the kiosk. Got my bagel it was not sliced or toasted so I asked for them to slice & toast it as it said on my receipt. Got it sliced and toasted and still no cream cheese. She blamed it on the kiosk not sending the orders properly. Then I get my coffee and I can tell it's definitely not full so I open the lid and it's a little over half filled with some froth on top. I have not taken a sip out of this coffee yet the first photo is when I first received it and second is after I waited for the froth to go down. Super disappointed with this visit. read more

I got a huge long blonde hair in my salad, avocado skin and the dressing container was not even halfway filled. I called the manager just to let him know and he was just not bothered. He seemed like he could careless. Didn't even say much to me other then "sorry" at the end. In case the manager sees this, (I think his name was Kyle) I didn't want a refund. I just wanted to let you know so that other customers don't get the same crap in their food. read more

We made an online order at 6:12pm on 02/06/2021. We then got to the store to pick up the food at 7:10pm. After arrival, we had someone come out and tell us that they never got the order and they'll look for it. At about 7:20pm he came back out and said that it was on the printer and they are finally going to make the food. We waited until 8pm (in the car) before they finally brought out the food. Then we went through the items and noticed that we were missing stuff. We went back and had to wait in the drive through (we didn't have a mask to go inside) and after waiting about 5-10 minutes there, we finally got what was missing but we got home and the food was cold! This is highly unacceptable for the price. This is not the first time either! read more

Love your food but bad service was just in drive thru got home and my salad i order was not there and i do not live close i live in cherry valley and i waited forever in line and when you call you have to wait too read more

It's Wednesday, 9:09pm at the Beaumont store. The incredible server name Noah has gone above and beyond my expectations, me and my family haven't been to Panera in a while so the menu has changed.. he was definitely patient as I attempted to navigate the menu while in the drive through. We Got our food in a timely manner. His overall customer service just made me and my family excited to come back again and order more new items off this menu. read more

We went to this Panera 5 minutes before closing and I wouldn't have been surprised if they gave us a lil attitude. Instead we were met with so much grace and kindness, Jayden was the person that helped us and made us feel so welcomed. We are definitely coming back, thank you! Earlier next time! read more

I love the food, it's healthy and not too heavy but it still fills you up . I have bought a salad for work and that salad chess wow I love it read more

I LOVE Panera, but the employees at this location need training and a manager that stays on them. EVERY TIME I come in here I stand at the register with no one helping me or acknowledging me for at LEAST 5 mins. No hello, no I'll be right with you, nothing, and employees walk by and look right at me. I've been a Panera regular for 15 years and this is the only location that has horrible customer service. read more

I've given Panera so many chances and it's just not worth the price. I got the napa almond sands which and regular portion. Was barely a spoonful for each have. So the next time I ordered it with extra. A TINY difference. I don't know why they are so stingy here. I had the order delivered so not much I can do. Better sandwiches elsewhere and prices worth the money read more

I haven't been to Panera Bread for a while but I have to say they still have some of the best food around. I love their broccoli cheddar soup and their white cheddar Panini with beef. Are usually tell them light on the beef heavy on the cheese. There are bagels in there baguettes are so good. I really think one of the best things they have is the Asian sesame chicken salad I love the dressing and the chicken is really good. I always ask for extra dressing. They are a quality company and during this terrible time of having to socially distance from everybody I hope we don't lose them. They are a real asset to our community. Thank you Panera Bread. I was just there last week. read more

so many times i have ordered salad and half the time they give old lettuce and barely a drop of dressing. and it's so overpriced.

Honestly it's not about the food, the food is good, it's about the laziness. I ordered the simplest pizza they have, only tomato and basil yet I received a plain pizza and on top of that not even cutting the pizza? Just wow. I normally don't like leaving reviews for anything but this has happened more than once and it's not acceptable. read more

I just ordered a flatbread pizza and a side salad. the pizza was ice cold (I live less then a mile away) and the lettuce in the salad was ancient. this is so gross. why is this place like this? how do they stay in business? read more

Didn't get order correct. Didn't have pastry I ordered so they had me pick what was leftover no offer of a refund. Got all the way home and found the soup from my pick 2 wasn't in the bag. Called and spoke to Nathan who said I could drive back out to get my soup or get a refund. I said just refund it and he told me that I had to drive back out to get the refund!!!! I never have had any problems before. This was the worst! I'll get my refund and find another place to eat! Apparently they don't check the orders for accuracy any. read more
