Ordered a half sandwich -turkey BLT and a Harvest medley salad with chicken. Decent portions and friendly service. In comparison to other chains, I think the price point is high for what you get. Wish the parking was more plentiful for this location.

Food was terrible. Mac and Cheese came out in a dirty bowl and was chalky and gross. Some of the pasta was hard and yellow. Needless to say, we didn't eat it. Even after a good stir, it was like sludge. When I looked at the food prep guy who gave me the food, he acted like nothing was wrong. Besides the terrible food, the restaurant is a sloppy mess. Food and napkins, straw wrappers, etc. all over the floor. We had to hunt for a clean area to sit down. Unless you're getting coffee and a mediocre pastry, I'd avoid this Panera.

This is the worst Panera I've ever been to among all the Bay Area locations. Do NOT come to this location! We came at 8:10pm. They told us we cannot dine in anymore and they're closed. All the chairs are put upside down on the table (see pic) I've been to other Panera locations before and they all close at 9pm. Why would they close so much earlier than the posted 9 pm? They should have changed their closing time online to 8pm if that's the case. Horrible service. Also, even when we tried to order for to-go, their soup is out, and their salad ingredients are out. We all ended up leaving without getting any food. Super disappointed.

One of my go to Panera sites for catering pick up. Manager responsive and courteous even when dealing with so much activity around her and supporting her team. Called site when discovered that packed water instead of tea. Manager answered after several rings & did not put me hold despite a busy Saturday morning. She was apologetic and offered me multiple options to remedy. I chose credit to charge card, which was done the same day instead of 3-5 days. Ample space on site and noticed a couple of morning large groups of older adults enjoying conversations.

Sandwich finally came, but green spots all over the bread.  The bottom was even worse. :-(

Thirty min and still waiting for our food. We just ordered sandwich, soup, and salad. When my sandwich finally arrived, there were green spots on the bread. My first thought was avocado, but it's hard, and appears to be growing.

ordered a hibiscus drink, and it was refreshing and well-balanced. The flavor was pleasantly tart with a light floral note,, which made it very easy to drink.

honestly don't get the bad reviews this Panera is one of the best I've been to! The team here works incredibly hard, even during the busiest rush hours. Cashiers keep the line moving fast, the orders come out fresh and correct every time, and the staff always greets me with a smile. The dining area is spotless, and I've noticed employees constantly checking on tables and making sure everything looks perfect. It's clear they take pride in their work. If you've read complaints about slow service or unfriendly staff, I can only say my experience has been the exact opposite. This location delivers quality food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere every single visit.

Needed a little something-something Hadn't been to a Panera since college! Was craving a sandwich- surprised with the new croque monsieur ! Temporarily at a Panera near you ! I added lettuce -- Hurry up and go try it ! This croissant bread is delish !!! One of a kind! Best invention since -- plain sliced bread ? Please don't take it away ! Maybe keep it permanently on your menu ?! Don't be surprised if you see me here tomorrow! Clean dining and front register - friendly service!

I only wanted 2 cinnamon rolls, but using my Panera App at this location, they didn't sell the cinnamon rolls individually.

I am sadly going to have to change my star rating. This particular store, perhaps is getting a slight makeover within the employees, I still see a handful of the normal employees I see, they're always friendly, smiling, helpful, but today when I went in to order my breakfast sandwich from a new lady that I have never seen before, I noticed there was a lot of smoke coming from the toaster oven where the bagels usually are toasted. I tried to tell, this particular employee, and she said, "that thing always smokes. It's OK. " After I placed my order, which was a chipotle, chicken scramble with added spinach, her coworker/an employee I've seen numerous times there was abruptly trying to use the tongs to get a bagel out of the oven, which apparently was smoking because it was on fire/stuck! It got incredibly smoky inside and the lady at the register in front of me just seem to not care/brush it off. Interesting. Lol. Sad to say when I got my sandwich and went back to my house, it was incredibly small and looked nothing like the picture. I guess I'll just have to travel across town and go to the Campbell location since there. New employees tend to be more helpful/considerate and their items you order look like the picture.

The flavor of my sandwich was good, but it was mostly bread. Hardly ANY meat in it at all. Kind of a rip off.

I was looking for a casual quick-serve place in the area for us+our son. It was nice that Local Kitchens has a variety of cuisines you can order. We got the fish tacos, fries, and a side of mac and cheese for my son. Fries were actually really good, like perfectly crispy. Fish tacos were decent too; could have used more sauce but still good and fish was very crispy. Mac and cheese was as expected; can't complain and I think the temperature was purposely a little more lukewarm for kids. The small side was the perfect size for my 5 y/o and a good price. Service was very good and the cherry on top. The guy that worked there (maybe a manager? not sure but he greeted us and was very friendly) actually went above and beyond. There is a little nook with some crayons, I think a few cards or small games too. My son loves drawing but there was no paper around so I asked the employee if he had any paper for drawing, since I noticed a printer in the back. I wanted just blank paper and nothing fancy, but he said something like he can do it, and a few minutes later came back with a printed picture of Mickey Mouse for my son to color. lol! I think he searched for kids drawing templates and printed it out. How nice.

While you can eat inside and two outside tables, this isn't a restaurant for ambience; more grab and go. Food was great and sizable portions.

Came here to get food to go, on a Saturday after running errands at Home Depot next door…read more I've never seen or heard about this place, and I'm Iranian. Parking was easy. A very big plus for an Iranian restaurant. Usually they're packed. I think it's because the location is not as visible, and the Bay Area has a few other Iranian restaurants that dominate the market. So it's nice to see a different place. I only ordered the combo koobideh(beef&chicken). Took about 10 minutes, the staff was really friendly, the space looked very clean and good for family occasions. Food was ready, and I was excited, zoomed home and opened the box and the smell just made me fall in love. Btw it was Valentine's Day lol.. so this was a gift to myself. The RICE was the masterpiece. Nice and buttery(not too much) and saffron yellow. This itself was a star of the show. Both the beef and the chicken were very flavorful, of course I had to put sumac to add more flavor. They even included a few pieces of bread. And the burnt tomatoes.. LOVE them. Really happy I found this place, and the staff was really friendly and didn't feel very tiptop snobby. Kheyli mamnoon!!!

They have a homey, comfortable dining area inside, with many tables, for eating on site. Or you can pick up orders to go. Koobideh kabob plate was excellent. The portion is large and reasonably priced. I was in bliss. They had all my required accompaniments, hot sauce, extra roasted tomato, zereshk, sumac, saffron rice, hot tea. The owners were so warm and sweet. You can tell this is a labor of love, small family business. Definitely give it a try

When I first walked in, the man working at the counter didn't greet me or acknowledge me. He appeared to be in a bad mood, and throughout the ordering process, his attitude felt unfriendly and unwelcoming. When he asked if I wanted anything else, I initially said no, but then changed my mind and decided to get a drink. His response made me feel like I was inconveniencing him simply by adding something to my order. The most uncomfortable part was when I went to pay. The payment screen was asking about a tip, and I was trying to navigate the options and cancel out of the screen so I could complete my payment. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to press, and instead of helping me, he continued doing something else and didn't offer any assistance. After I tried again and the payment didn't work, he huffed and said, "You keep canceling it," in a very rude and irritated tone. I even apologized and told him that I didn't know what I was doing, but there was still no attempt to help or show me what to press, and no apology for the way he spoke to me. I ultimately walked out feeling really uncomfortable and honestly baffled by the interaction. I paid over $20 for my meal, and while the food was good, I expected a much more welcoming and respectful customer service experience. Everyone can have a bad day, but customers shouldn't feel like they're a bother for needing a little assistance with the payment system.

It's on the Alexander's side of the Main Street Cupertino plaza (across from the parking structure). It was decent sized and fairly busy but we were seated quickly with a booster and high chair. You can order off the kiosk and we ordered beef roll pancake, beef noodle soup, chengdu zajiang noodles and a Sapporo. All items came out quickly and we ate it up just as quickly. The beef roll pancake stole the show! It was our favorite item of the night. The beef noodle soup was also excellent but the mild spice (lowest) was a bit too much for the kids to enjoy. The chengdu zajiang noodles were one of the non-spicy items and the kids enjoy that as well. Would recommend coming in and we would definitely come back for a delicious family meal!

So to find a specific Sichuan noodle place with amazing dumplings. I was really taking a bath. I would definitely come here again and the price was not that bad, still pricey, for being in Cupertino. The noodles were just the right amount of chewy and the sauce is really their golden prize because you really taste all the flavors of the chili oil and the flavors that come through with a mix of bok choy and a fried egg on top. My friend got the beef noodle soup and that looked delicious. Also, I would say most of their noodles seem pretty top-notch.
