Brownie
Sydney J.

I decided to get a brownie, which was really good, very rich, chocolatey, decadent. Only downside was it was a bit pricey for the size, prices have definitely gone up over the years. They have a new item of brownie cheesecake bites. I'm not sure if it's just me or if it seems the menu has changed or maybe gotten smaller compared to a decade or two ago when I was younger. Staff were friendly and efficient. I recommend signing up for their rewards online so you can get a free bakery item (maximum value $5, and there are some restrictions on what you can redeem it for) for your birthday. They have a customer parking lot. What I like about this particular Panera location is that they have lots of outdoor tables with umbrellas, and they actually play some music outside too, but it's not too loud. It seems like a nice location if you want to work outdoors but still have shade, so it's a little more COVID conscious if you want to still be able to eat/drink but work at a cafe.

Latte and avocado sandwich
Pat C.

This is an immaculate spot , kept super clean and tidy with the usual offerings from Panera. The staff is super courtois and hard working. I don't live their food hence four star.

Pick 2
Ronald N.

Panera Bread in the Willow is better. The inside was recently remodel with better tables and seats. I love how this location has a screen informing you when your order is done. The service at Panera Bread is great. They will ask you if you got your cup with your order. That is going out of the way to make sure your order is accurate. The food at Panera Bread are good. I will say The Pick 2 are good. I crave for Mac & Cheese with a Ceasar Salad or Broccoli Cheddar with Greek Salad. Keep up the good work Panera Bread

Toasted Frontega Chicken
Darlene M.

I don't expect anything over the top from chain restaurants, so this place met my expectations. Haha! Two other customers and I waited a good 5 minutes for someone to come out and take our orders. Not sure if they were short staffed or what but I thought it was odd that no one was in the front when we arrived. Food was decent, but in my opinion expensive. I ordered a whole Toasted Frontega Chicken Sandwhich and an orange juice, and it came up to almost $20 - really? Seems like a lot for a just a decent sandwich. Otherwise, my dining experience was decent - nothing over the top for me.

I ordered the chicken chipotle sandwich. The bread was very hard and the avocado they put inside was disgusting. I tried to get a refund over the phone and said they couldn't do it. I had proof of the disgusting sandwich that I could text or email to them. Since I realized the state of the sandwich when I was already very far from Panera I couldn't go back the same day. I went the next day and they denied the refund to my card.

Bagel w/Reduced Fat Honey Walnut Cream Cheese
Catarino C.

Stopped at this Panera while in town for a training conference and was tight on time. My stomach was in need of something to eat and this place delivered with very fast service, to prevent me from becoming hangry. Lol. I had never had honey walnut cream cheese before but decided to try and glad I did. Place was kept clean and there is lots of parking out front as it is shared with lots of businesses as well. It was pretty empty on a weekday morning. I'd come here again.

Since the Panera in my city closed, I have to venture to the Hayward location to get food from Panera. I had a free pastry dropped into my account that I had to redeem. Since I was in the Concord area, I went to the store at Willows Shopping Center. This location is large with table and booth seats as well as seating outside. It was 2:00pm and the pastries on display were limited. I decided to get a blueberry muffin. Overall, it's a nice Panera in Concord.

A quick and healthy meal on a rainy day. Staff is very attentive and the food is served fast and fresh. My aunts favorite spot for her soup and salad.

Half Green Goddess Chicken Cobb Salad
Liann A.

Panera is always a solid spot for salads, sandwiches, coffee, and pastries. There's plenty of seating outside and inside along with wifi to work or study. This Panera has been here for years and my younger years we used to study and order their treats, coffee, and use their wifi. I personally enjoy their combo meals of a half salad and half sandwich. I had a hair appointment next door and was starving, it was a Saturday and they were pretty backed up but it was fine. I ordered a half green goddess salad along with a half grilled chicken avocado BLT. It comes with a side and I opted for a bag of potato chips. The workers are working very hard despite how busy it was. It didn't seem like the wait was too long. It's located in a busy plaza so there's parking all around.

Chipotle avocado melt
Shelli H.

My daughter in law and I door dashed Panera today. She ordered the chicken rice soup and Mac and cheese. She loved it but it is her regular order and she was craving it. I had the chipotle chicken melt. I wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it. I think they were skimpy with meat but the bread was tasty. The reason for 3 stars? It was pretty darn pricey. ( I know it's door dash, but still.) Those 2 little cups were over 15 dollars! I mean maybe the cups could be just a wee bigger for that much money. It just doesn't seem like a good value to me at all. Maybe it's just not my thing.

Fuji apple salad
Ivy S.

There was a fundraiser happening at this Panera Bread for one of my kids school. My husband had never had Panera and I used it as an excuse to go out and get dinner. I had not been to Panera in years. It was good to come and experience something that I had enjoyed in the past with my husband. I usually don't call out service people but I want to say that Sophia rules. She was awesome. She helped my husband navigate the menu. She was awesome. I got a Fuji Apple Salad and my most favorite Green Tea. I love their Green Tea so much. I would get it everyday. My husband got the Cobb Salad and one of their energizing fruit drinks. We chose to take our food to go and had a lovely meal at home. I loved my salad. I've even bought some of the salad dressing to have at home. My husband has gone back on his own to have lunch a few times he loved it so much. Its safe to say that we are big fans of this Panera Bread. Not to mention that they fundraise and donate to good causes.

Turkey chili (bowl)
Sara B.

This panera location is usually on point! It is very very rare they mess up an order. I like the variety of sandwiches, soups, salads( could have more toppings/goodies very heavy on the lettuce) and Mac n cheese. Have used their breakfast catering for bagels and pastries previously but their bagels are not my favorite, some including a typical fan favorite jalapeño cheese has a waxy consistency here. Really hoping they bring back their Mexican corn chowder soon as that was my favorite seasonal soup. Today was turkey chili which is wonderfully thick and loaded with plenty of goodies. A delicious chili flavor and perfect for this cooler weather we are getting. Paired with the chicken avocado blt, no tomato added onion. Hoping this locating will return the rapid pick up shelves back to customer access having to either wait in line or get lucky and get an employees attention if standing off to the side is not time saving which is what rapid pick up should be!

Their agave lemonade is refreshing during the warmer days. The Madagascar vanilla latte (hot) is not bad.

Kinder's Meats Deli BBQ - Ball Tip Sandwich

Kinder's Meats Deli BBQ

I ordered a prime rib roast from Kinder's for Christmas, and the entire experience was outstanding…read morefrom start to finish. The team was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating--especially when I needed to change my pickup date. They made everything easy and stress-free. When I came in to pick up the order, everything was perfectly prepared and seasoned. My son-in-law handled the baking, and the result was absolutely delicious--tender, flavorful, and a true showstopper for our holiday meal. I was order number 66 and genuinely appreciated everyone who worked on it. You could really tell the care that went into the preparation. I would highly recommend Kinder's if you're looking for high-quality, premium meat and exceptional customer service. Thank you so much to the whole team!

I've seen their rubs and sauces at my local supermarket and Costco in the Southern California area…read more When my coworker suggested that we visit Kinder's for lunch, I couldn't say no. They are much more than a bbq joint. They started as a meat market and then started making sandwiches in the 1980's, and then started selling sauces and rubs. This location is supposedly their headquarters. We arrived at about noon. They were busy with lot of customers. They were both a meat market and restaurant here. They sold beef and pork on one side of the store. On the other side, they serve the meats. The 2 meat combo I got with brisket and their famous ball tip came with a side of cole slaw and macaroni salad. The brisket was tender. It was not smoky like a Texas brisket. But, it was good. The ball tip reminded me of a tri tip. I liked the flavor. Both the cole slaw and macaroni salad were good. It was a good place. I'm glad to have visited and seen the place that makes the rubs and sauces that I frequently see. I'll be back when visiting the area.

I stopped by the Ike's Love & Sandwiches location in The Veranda (1975 Diamond Blvd) in Concord and…read moreit was hands-down one of the best sandwich experiences I've ever had. I ordered the [Name of the Girl I'm Dating] and it was straight-up the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Juicy halal chicken, creamy avocado, sweet honey mustard, melty pepper jack cheese, all on that perfectly toasted Sourdough bread with their legendary Dirty Sauce -- every bite was packed with flavor and perfectly balanced. Massive portion too; I was full for hours. What really stood out was the excellent customer service. The whole team was friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming. The shop itself is super clean and tidy, with good seating, nice music playing, and spotless, well-stocked bathrooms, little details that make a big difference. Bonus highlight: I actually met the manager from this location at my job recently, and he hooked me up with a free sandwich. Huge props and shoutout to him and the team that kind of generosity and connection doesn't go unnoticed! If you're anywhere near Concord, do yourself a favor and stop by this Ike's for lunch (or dinner). Amazing food, great vibes, and outstanding service. This location is a gem 10/10, will definitely be back soon!
