Just ordered food online at this location. Arrived to the rapid pickup and my food appeared to not be ready. Only for my boyfriend to go to the counter to find out that our food had been sitting on the counter the entire time we had been sitting there. Five minutes. But who knows how long it was sitting there before we got there. read more

I went to this particular Panera for the first time a few days ago. It was really busy at lunch time (1:30pm), but I didn't really have to wait in a line, so that was great. Service was easy and the cashier was very friendly. As soon as she finished my order, she immediately went to go make my frozen lemonade. Right after that was ready, my sandwich was also ready to pick up. Good food, but a little pricey IMO. Over $12 for a sandwich, a bag of chips, and frozen lemonade was a bit too much. It wasn't particularly filling either. Being a chain, I know the prices are probably the same everywhere, but it was just something I wanted to point out. There was also a really nice man who was bussing tables. Although it looks like you need to bus your own table, he told everyone who was finished with their food/plates to just leave them on the table and he would come pick them up. I really liked that. read more

Oh yeah - the panini's make my mouth water. The turkey/artichoke panini is sooo good. I appreciate the fact that they're trying to make the meal healthy by offering an apple as an alternative to potato chips. But, what's really that healthy about a grilled sandwich that's stuffed with an artichoke spread whose ingredients are primarily mayo and cheese? The apple makes me feel like I'm eating a healthy meal. Located at a very busy intersection (Hamilton Avenue and Hwy. 17) - this place can bet busy and crowded at times. My friends and I met here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The dining area was full - so we ended up dining on the patio area. This is a good centralized area to meet up with friends. read more

This ended up being our lunch choice yesterday when the sushi restaurant was closed. Being the open minded person that I am, I decided to give them another chance. There was a definite improvement in the food on this visit. I had the 1/2 n 1/2 lunch (1/2 a salad with 1/2 a sandwich). My salad choice was Greek and it was amazing. Crisp lettuce, delicious olives, ripe tomatoes and plenty of feta cheese. My tuna sandwich on honey wheat rocked! Fruit cup on the side was a huge improvement over the last time. This fruit came on a plate and looked much nicer over all. I still register my gripe that this fruit cup costs extra as I still do not wish to eat bread as a side with my sandwich. And the outside patio was a wind tunnel once again. However, this yummy lunch was good enough to last me the day and I'll give them another try since this meal was much improved. Free wi-fi is always nice too. :-) read more

Seriously? $32. when my order was for two cups of soups, a half sandwich, a small salad, one small drink and a chocolate croissant? When I questioned the clerk about the ridiculous price, she then recalculated and it was only $23. WTH. When you say "Small" for soup, say CUP instead or else they will charge you for a BOWL. When you say "Small" for salad, say HALF instead or else they will charge you for a FULL sized salad. This is the SECOND TIME this has happened to me at this location with the overcharging BS. Either this is a corporate driven technique to ensnare customers, or the staff is bilking customers, or they need re-training. And I don't have a speech impediment or just came from the dentist after novocaine. NOT GOING BACK TO THIS LOCATION. Re-thinking my need for Panera sandwichs and soups....Verdict: it ain't worth it. Free Wi-Fi and everything be damned. read more

There's something about Panera that makes it synonymous with lunchtime (aside from food, of course). I'm digging this new sensor system they're using too! No need to pick up your food at the counter. Just bring the sensor to any table and park yourself there to wait a (very) short time for you food - nice! Another big plus in my book - They have caffeine-free Diet Pepsi. (I get enough caffeine and it's so nice to have this option!) Ahh...the little things. And then there's the Sesame Chicken Salad. Tangy, light, and the vinaigrette dressing is even low-sugar! (You wouldn't even know this is a healthy choice - the flavor is *that* amazing.) I don't get over to Panera as often as I'd like, simply because the lunchtime madness in the parking lot is scary - but I'm never disappointed whenever I brave the crowds. read more

We used to be HUGE fans of Panera and we LOVE their Egg Souffles (my fav is the spinach and bacon) but they always sell out before we get there in the mornings. The egg souffles are their spin on a breakfast quiche and are absolutely delicious! But after the 7 or 8th time of them selling out of the egg souffles, the bf and I stopped coming to Panera. We just weren't fans of their other breakfast pastries (bagels, croissants,etc.) and their drip coffee lacks a full flavor. However last week we were next door at Bed, Bath, and Beyond picking up some items when Nam's hypoglycemia kicked in and I needed to be fed before my evil twin sister emerged. (We try and stop her from coming out by keeping me fed at regular times). Since Panera was next door, we decided to give our old haunt another try. I settled on a half soup and sammie combo: the Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich and the Creamy Tomato soup. I took my first bite into the sandwich and was so surprised how fresh and flavorful it was! A tasty cilantro hummus with cucumbers and other veggies topped with feta in between two very soft pieces of their tomato basil bread. I couldn't decide which was better, the bread or the goodies inside...either way--Delish!!! The soup was equally tasty and was topped with Asiago croutons. The bf also enjoyed his combo of a Turkey Breast sandwich and Greek salad. The price is extremely reasonable and parking is ample. With our restored faith in Panera....we'll be back. If not to get the elusive egg souffle, then to have their yummy lunch combos. read more

They do have wonderful soups.... great for this kinda of weather.... I used to go to panera every week when living in east coast..and since I got in Cali..this was the first time..I took a friend..who didn't know the place..she loved.... I recommended her the cheddar broccoli soup//that is my favorite..but SHe wanted to try the french onion one...good try..it was goooooodddddd... well she said she will go back ASAP...lol read more

I used to enjoy going to Panera. Emphasis on used to. One time, we went here for breakfast. There were a good six or seven employees behind the counter, and it seemed that as one person took our order, the other would ask us what we had ordered and if they could help us out. Granted, they wanted to make sure we got our in, honestly, how many people needs to ask us? I think it's just my supply chain background. I believe in efficiencies, and when it takes that many people to fulfill an order, there are major issues. read more

I said no sauce and it's like they completely ignored what I customized. I'm so pissed I spent $7 & didn't realize until I got to work. DO BETTER AT READING YOUR ORDERS!!! read more

Love, love, love the panera chain but this one is totally lackluster. Service is alright, I've experienced better service at other paneras. (Stevens creek location is still the best one I've been to!) My friend found a bug in her sandwich! Yuck! When it was brought to their attention, they snickered about it and didn't even apologize. Disgusting. Also, our food was just waiting on the counter and the buzzer never went off. The layout off the restaurant feels cramped too. Definitely a "meh" experience. read more

I absolutely love this place. Since Panera has opened, they have never failed me. Ever!! And I am a hard person to please when it comes to food. I go there so often that they know me. Even when I order to go on the phone they know who I am. It's such a nice personal touch. The place is so clean. Friendly service is excellent and oh so quick!!! I don't like things quick, but when it comes to service I am impressed. I have quite a few faves here. The tuna sanwich is so yummy!!! I have it plain with bread, screw the tomatoes, lettuce, and onions. I like to taste the food for what it is, and one thing it is not is fishy!!! I also get the smokehouse panini..to die for!!! So good, so good!! In Campbell, not sure what to eat and you are all about health, try Panera!! Just ignore the pastry side!! Hee! Hee! read more

I've probably come here once a week during dinner with my son. We always get the same thing since my son is very picky. Broccoli cheddar soup with a bread. It's always been very consistent on the soup on , . They manage to keep the area very clean for guest and parking is very accessible. They do sometimes gave me smaller than usual pieces of bread or even non crunchy ones. When that happens, i bring it up to the counter and they never have any problems replacing our bread. read more

Mmmm Panini's The menu choices change now and then but I've tried all the panini's and they are delish. Today I had the Chicken Bacon Dijan Panini which was an indulgent fried delight of a sandwich as usual. I also enjoy the Soy Latte which comes in a jumbo mug to sip and enjoy with the free WiFi. Dog Friendly - Three paws for shaded outdoor tables. read more

Panera Bread serves me right most of the time. But I went here in the later hours and I guess the principle to bakeries, holds true to the same as places as sushi joints. Everything came about sub-par and didn't taste as fresh. The service was nice though - the associate trainer impressed me with the way she helped me out. The strawberry poppyseed salad I had tasted like it was pre-packaged... and it was. But no complaints, I just came at a wrong time. I do not get though - how everything comes with a side. It's kind of annoying. Bread, chips and apple. But doesn't a sandwich come on bread already? That's like slapping a fat girl in the face and making her choke on unnecessary carbs. read more

This location is in a humming, busy area of Campbell. The lines are short, but it gets really crowded at lunchtime so that finding a table can be a challenge. They keep the restaurant clean and friendly and service is fast. A great place to grab a quick bite with a friend or colleague. read more

Is it just me or have the portions/quality gotten really skimpy over here at this location? Today I got the Frontega Chicken Sandwich and the Baked Potato soup... usually a winner. Today not so much. Meat was skimpy, literally only like one inch of cheese and the soup was WAY watery and flavorless. Lately I've been into the BBQ Chicken Salad its usually pretty good but I switched it up today because last time there were only like 3 pieces of chicken in my salad. Step it up. read more

I'm always happy to eat at Panera. Although it is a chain, the food is consistently good. I like the "you pick two" where you can select two items - half sandwich, cup of soup or side salad. There is an extensive list of varied choices. I usually choose a half sandwich and soup. My favorite sandwich is the turkey artichoke hot panini, it's very tasty and spread reminds me of artichoke dip. My hubby 's favorite is the asiago roast beef. The soups have all been good - but I especially like the broccoli cheddar and french onion. I also discovered with the "you pick two" salads they'll add chicken breast at *no extra charge*, which is great. The quality is fresh and more gourmet flavors than most sandwich chains. You're also not stuck with tired old chips - since you have you choice of an apple, a chunk of baguette or chips. I personally think anyplace where we can eat a tasty, filling meal for 2 for under $20 is reasonable. It's filling enough as a dinner too. I like the fact that the seating area has several different areas, it gives you some more privacy and the ambiance is pleasant. They also have amusing bread art on the walls. edit to add: we stopped by to grab some dinner about a half hour before they were to close. I'd ordered iced tea and one of the employees was kind enough to make me a whole fresh pot - despite the fact they were about to close. most of the employees at this location are VERY friendly. read more

Good food and good service. Every time I go here I leave happy. It's usually very crowded, but once you find a seat it's great.

Love the free daily bagel promotion & their tomato soup. Always fresh and tasty. The people who work here are friendly and helpful. They always greet you with a smile. read more

I come to this Panera nearly every single day. (I work right next to it and mobile order my food) this morning I ordered my usual. I get the bacon cheese and egg sandwich on a butter croissant. I went to get my sandwich and there was no bacon on it. I walked back to get the bacon on it and when I gave it to them the people who are on the side making the food looked extremely annoyed and she threw some cold bacon in the sandwich and gave it back to me. This is ridiculous. I order food here almost everyday (I'm sure they recognize my name considering I order two meals a day during my shift). It's just rude and inconsiderate. I will obviously be coming back since it's the only restaurant in the plaza but still, poor service is a no. read more

I'm not a fan of Panera Bread's food, but this location is close to highway 17, and it is in a plaza, so the parking situation is decent. It is a good place to meetup with friends or clients. read more

If you come here during lunch I suggest for you to get the chicken Thai salad ! It's so delicious !

I neglected to bring my reading glasses and an employee happened to have an extra pair. That goes way above and beyond! The wifi has easy log in and high speed wifi. Blended mocha rivals Starbucks frappachino. read more

Friendly staff but the resturant needs some cleaning badly -2 vents have what appears to be dead flys stuck in the little homes and the are where the self serve soda is a utter mess wet straws, wet sugar packets, piles and of mixed condiments. After sitting almost under the dirty vents I stopped eating all I could think about was when is the stuff coming down on my food. Shocked at this locations condition read more

Panera Bread - Flies in the intake vents.. Oh My!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Campbell, California

My Chai tea latte is so sweet I can barely drink it, but my egg souffle was Delicious, different and a little naughty. I think this is a locals and eBay hang out. Or, locals who want to do business with eBay. It has nice colors, comfy chairs and lots of www.laptopmama.com types... I really want a panera on the peninsula. It's like a bakery/deli/coffee shop with free wifi. After a bad experience driving around to coffee shops and Valley Fare mall, it was the first place with real free wifi. And, when my phone needed a charge, I felt OK plugging it in on one of their outlets. Not something I would do everyday, but today when I really HAD to, it was to know that I could. As you can tell, the internet connection is pretty important to me right now! Think I need to trade in this sugary latte. OK, I just went to the counter and they exchanged my latte with a regular. Easy and with a smile, I love this place. And a big shout out for their kid menu. Natural Peanut Butter in the PB andJ, Organic cheese in the grilled cheese, and no nuggets!!!! Plus, a great selection of bakery items and little pizzas. This place is lovely, why is it so far away! read more

I ordered a Modern Caprese sandwich to go. I got to my work and opened the box, and the sandwich was a sad creation with one slice of cheese, some sundried tomatoes, light arugula, and completely soaked with sugary balsamic vinegar. I called the Campbell store and their phone was disconnected. I had to drive all the way back to the store for them to make me another sandwich. The manager said their phone line has been down for a week! They said IT has to figure it out. Then the manager brought me a Cuban sandwich, and there was hardly any meat in it, so the manager refunded my money. I have been going to the Cupertino Panera, and never had any problems. I called the Cupertino store and their phone works! Too bad I live near the Campbell store. I do not recommend this Panera. I spent nearly an hour trying to get a sandwich and ended leaving without anything to eat. read more

I will have to give this location 3 stars. This place was packed during lunch. Efficient service, but I felt that they skimped on the amounts. I usually get a half and half of either a sandwich and/or soup and/or salad. This time I got the salad and soup. The greek salad was less than the amount then the other locations. Please don't skimp! My friend's soup and sandwiches were alright. They enjoyed it very much. read more

Used to LOVE this place. There are still things about it I Love. The horseradish sauce they serve on their steak and white cheddar panini. Delish. Their sourdough bread is crazy good. BUT tonight we went and they were out of their good bread and were offering brioche as the accompaniment to their soup. No thanks. What an empty piece of flour! Next, my husband asked if he could get a sesame bagel instead. The girl says no, you would have to buy that. YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR BREAD. Are you kidding me?? How much does it cost you to make a damn bagel? And then when we wanted a seat we had to ask for a towel to wipe down a table. Sure, we will do your jobs. And finally, my husband is eating his Greek Goddess salad and he finds a piece of hard plastic in it. NIIIIIICE touch guys. Get your sh!$ together guys. Obviously there was no management around. It was only 6ish on a Sunday evening. Don't go to this one. Choose a different one and I hope it goes better for you. read more

We always get Panera To go for our lunches at work and I have to give them credit for how well they pack and organize everything. We have quite a few people so they pack everyones order in their own brown baggie. They pack their drinks in what I like to call cardboard kegs. All in all , Panera is perfect for catering large parties. Now to the food: Broccoli and Cheddar Soup: My favorite! The cheese isn't overwhelming and there's a cornucopia of broccoli! I always pair it with a baguette roll. Perfect to dip. Steak Panini : Not the most amazing panini I've had but it is quite enjoyable. I love horseradish with my steak so their horseradish cream compliments the sandwich and prevents it from being too dry. Macaroni and Cheese: love the unique pasta shape and the flavor. However, it gets too rich when I reach the halfway mark and the noodles are submerged in the creamy cheese. You should also come in and pick from their array of pastries when you're craving something sweet! read more

Panera is one of my favorite sandwich and salad joints in the South Bay. Everything has consistently been fresh, there is a good selection on the menu, and everything rotates with the season. I got the half cobb salad and a half bacon turkey bravo. Everything was delicious and fresh. We had no complaints. read more

I love the Panera on Coleman Ave (San Jose), but this is closer to my new apartment so I thought I'd check it out. I've been here twice, and was disappointed both times. The service here is weird. The same girl was at the counter both times, and she always seems very zoned out and bored to ring up our order. You might expect this from a McDonalds type place, but when you're paying $6+ for a sandwich you expect a friendlier level of service. The tables are so close together here that I can barely walk through the aisles, and I'm not overweight so I can't imagine if someone were larger or in a wheelchair. There are usually napkins and trash on the floor, and a lot of the tables had crumbs even at 4 pm when there was no meal rush. edit: It seems to have improved a bit now. The employees have been nicer and keep the place cleaner lately. read more

I really like this place. They have another location up by where I work; but I never go to that one. The best thing to do is get a "You Pick 2"; where you get to ...well, pick 2 of the three: half sandwich/soup/salad. I usually go with a half Smokehouse Turkey and a crock of French Onion soup. Their French Onion is to DIE for. The chocolate chipper (Ok, the name is really annoying, I admit) cookies are awesome and super big and THICK. I have a huge sweet tooth and I can usually only manage one of these bad boys. They have some ice-blended coffee drinks that are pretty decent. Their homemade lemonade is pretty kickass too. A little pricey for my budget; but it's good quality. I just wish the dining room was bigger because it's a pain in the ass to find a seat sometimes. read more

Came here for lunch with IT friends from work on Thursday and it was a-ok. The breakdown: * Parking was relatively easy to find * Pretty busy during lunch time, but a short wait for food * Ingredients were fresh * The half/half deal (1/2 each of soup, sandwich or salad plus either a bag of chips or an apple) is the perfect portion for lunch time and great for indecisive people like myself * Under $10 for a complete meal * Fry's Electronics is right across the street if you get a long lunch break :) The bad: * They didn't line my sandwich up very carefully! I like symmetry! I like perfect proportions! * The Panera crew did not seem happy or attentive * Finding a seat for more than 2 people might be a hassle during lunch What I ordered: Half/half deal 1. 1/2 Turkey Bacon Bravo sandwich - Gouda was very good, bacon had a great flavor, but the turkey was much too salty 2. Cup of tomato soup: the soggy croutons are not my thing, but the soup was hot and perfect for dipping my sandwich in 3. Apple: Oooh...surprisingly crisp and juicy! 4. Iced-water: Free. Good. read more

Occasion: Lunch pickup for cousins What I Had: Smoked turkey breast cafe sandwich Food Review: I remember back in high school when all my friends drove off campus for lunch, they'd come back about a fourth of the time with Panera bread or sandwiches! I didn't really try Panera until after I was in college, and I was a little disappointed. I think the sandwich was great, but no different from a ready-made sandwich at the grocery store or another sandwich chain. Service Review: It was pretty much grab-n-go, so no comments here! Venue Review: Reminds me a lot of Specialty's. Similar colors, wood furniture, etc. Overall Impression: Between Specialty's and Panera, I'd choose Specialty's all the way! Partially because Panera was a little overhyped for me to begin with, and Specialty's have sinful cookies to die for. read more

So even though I wasn't feeling to hot that day.. and even though I came away feeling like I didn't eat something phenomenal... I feel like I should give this place 4 stars. I got the deal where if I get a soup and a entree (like salad or sandwich) then it'll be 6.99. Well I got a signature salad so it was a dollar more, but that was fine... I got tomato soup and the Thai chicken salad. Both were actually really good! I ended up gobbling everything down... even though I was having a pretty bad stomachache that day... The salad was very flavorful. There were pieces of vegetable in there that I wasn't sure what they were but I just ate it anyways.. (I hate vegetables.. I rather not know what I'm eating and just eat it) and the tomato soup was delicious! I was actually trying to decide between either the tomato soup or broccoli cheddar soup but I ended up choosing tomato and I'm glad I did. It was delicious. I would definitely love to try the broccoli cheddar sometime.. And the price I felt was very reasonable. I'm pretty sure I'll be back here again since I have a friend who loves Panera.. and he'll probably try to drag us here again some Sunday after church! I will try the broccoli cheddar then!! Portions are big btw. I was very full at the end. read more

Very rude employees. It's like they don't want business. The way they treat customers so poorly is so different than what they use to be.

I had half a sandwich and half a salad here and it was good enough, but a little too expensive for the portion size. (Not that I need to eat MORE, of course!) The fandango salad's dressing was quite sweet, so I might've preferred it on the side. The cold veggie sandwich on sundried tomato bread was pretty tasty, but the bread was soft and would have been better if toasted. The place was absolutely packed at lunch, but they got the food out quickly enough. Navigating this poorly laid out restaurant is a pain. It's a maze of tables, walls, beverage/condiment stations, etc. Parking and traffic in this brand-new shopping center just off the freeway is a bitch, too. I'm sure the bread is fine, but I'd rather buy from a local bakery (either via Whole Foods or directly at the farmers' market). As chains go, it could be a whole lot crappier than it is--I'd eat here again if my coworkers wanted to go, or if--god forbid--my only choices were Subway, Togo's, and Panera. read more

I've been twice and both times was very unhappy with my sandwich. I had the chicken salad and the turkey/bacon bravo. There was nothing to cheer about! The meat in both cases tasted fake, very low quality. The bread is decent but that's about it. Definitely not worth the money. read more

When in doubt, I head to Panera! (more specifically, the one on Hamilton :) They have a great selection of salads, soups, and sandwiches to choose from, and all at reasonable prices. I'm especially a big fan of their UP2 (You Pick Two) deal where you choose two of following: cup of soup, small salad, or half a sandwich. They're green tea and chai are also pretty good. Oh, and +1 for putting the calories on the menu, it's always good to see restaurants that help you make healthy choices. The place itself is fairly cozy, with lots of comfy chairs and booths to sit and do work while you eat. I make it my place to get work done when I want to eat AND get coffee. The cashiers are always friendly and the food comes out SUPER fast. Sometimes my buzzer goes off before I finish paying at the other counter! Oh, and if you haven't already, ask to join their myPanera club, it gives you rewards for purchases. I've already had two free coffee drinks in under a month! There are a few drawbacks to this location. There's usually a line, sometimes rather long if you come at the just the right time in the morning or night, so be prepared. Oh, and they do run out of stuff, like certain breads or soups on cold days, so don't be surprised if you come late and they don't have anything. The place isn't huge, so it can fill up, but if you're just one person like me, you can usually grab one of the chairs on the outside walls. WiFi is free BUT limited to two hours at lunch (not sure why its okay at dinner), so just plan ahead. It's not the fastest either, so I never get through that much work on the laptop. Outlets are here and there, just be on the lookout. Besides that, keep up the good work guys, I'm sure I'll be back soon! read more
