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.

Croque Monsieur Croissant Toast ! Yuuuum !!!

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.

I'll admit I was a bit reluctant to stop by here because recent reviews have been mediocre, but I'm…read morereally glad we gave it a chance! 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. The staff was super sweet and brought us our tray of food. We got the Vietnamese egg rolls and the chicken adobada rice plate which were both fantastic. Will definitely be back to try something new!

I ordered the grilled pork banh mi combo for a quick lunch and the portion size was pretty decent…read more The banh mi itself tasted good, but I wish there was a bit more meat inside to balance out the bread and pickled carrots and daikon. The fries unfortunately didn't travel well with the to-go order and ended up soggy instead of crispy. Overall, it's still a decent spot for a quick and convenient lunch. Will probably try other banh mi spot before coming back.

We have always driven by this place and were curious about the banh mi and food…read more It is clean with a large interior and lots of parking. We went around 5pm on a Thursday and we were the only one in the restaurant. We thought it was closed initially. There are a lot of tables, but we figured we were just early for dinner. But, by the time we finished our meal, there was only 2 other tables that came. We ordered: - Special Vermicelli with Lemongrass-Marinated Tofu: This was okay and the portion size was big. The description said "eggrolls" but it only came with 1 eggroll. The eggroll also was kind of small. Make sure you ask for extra fish sauce otherwise the noodles will be dry. - Lemongrass Beef Banh Mi: the portion size was small for the price and was served on a basket. The bread was good, but we wouldn't get this again. Also, we were wondering how sanitary the basket that it was served on was (seems hard to clean, etc.) We would have felt better if the basket had some sort of disposable liner or plate. When you eat, the food may fall back into the basket, etc. They have fruit/cucumber water. We were the only table there for awhile and no one checked in in us. I had to walk up to the front to ask for extra fish sauce. Overall, this was a miss for us. Sorry Pho Banh Mi!

It's fresh and soft on the inside. I like that they have combos as well -- a drink and a large sandwich are slightly discounted. The Vietnamese coffee is quite reliable and the one with salted cream is quite good. I'm satisfied with their matcha, but it's not my absolute favorite! They also serve other drinks like teas here. They also have a special right now for their 1 year anniversary. Complimentary egg tarts if you buy enough things! I also like their baked pastries as well. Service is quite fast. There is a kiosk but I hardly ever use it. Lots of nice and cozy seating inside. Great for socializing or doing some quick work

Food ordered: Grilled Chicken Sandwich (4/5) The grilled chicken sandwich was good. Instead of cut chicken, it had shredded chicken that was tender and not too saucy or salty, which was good but I would've liked it a little more interesting. Anyways, you can choose between a Small or Regular size for the bread (different pricing), and the bread itself was delicious since it was light on the inside but had that pretzel like exterior that made it not too crunchy and crumbly as some bahn mi baguettes can have. Violet Matcha (5/5) This drink features taro foam on top, and it was so good! A nice bonus was the server was proactive and input a combo code at the register to save us $2, which was nice. Ambiance & Amenities: There are only a couple of tables inside, but it has a fun bread-centric photo spot if you want to snap a quick picture. They also have a convenient water station available for guests. Overall: We really enjoyed our experience here. The service was kind and attentive, and the food satisfied out cravings. Would come again if I wanted a bahn mi and fun drink! The drink menu is quite extensive!
