The great thing about this location is the people. They greet me with a warm welcome early mornings when I pick up dozens of bagels for the office. They get right to it and keep my waiting time minimal. I know they work very hard, but they are always kind and courteous. This matters. The Panera bagels are loved by everyone I work with. The packaging is thoughtful and easy to transport. The pricing is good. I can't give 5 stars for two reasons: 1) because the other baked products are fresh and tasty but not the best in their class and, 2) the Panera club card asks for too much information and promises to share it with any third parties of their choice ...that's too steep a price to pay for the discounts and freebies one gets for registering for a card with Panera. read more

today i headed out to check out the st. patty's festival in dublin. i couldn't believe how much traffic this event caused. parking was of course scarce so it was a long walk to and from the civic center where it was being held. you see one craft fair you have pretty much seen them all so i was out of there within 15 minutes. i did however spend most of my time browsing the food tents looking for something for lunch. nothing too healthy but i did find a booth bbqing some smoked turkey legs. these are my weakness but they were $10. i couldn't believe this! these things are cheaper at disneyland even and are 100 times better. i passed on the leg and left driving around for ideas. it was getting late so i stopped off at panera for a quick sandwich. let me just say i would have been better off with the $10 turkey leg. so i order the frontega chicken panini which has pulled white meat chicken, mozzarella, tomatoes, red onions, chopped basil & and chipotle mayonnaise on grilled focaccia. i asked the guy at the counter for extra sauce and basil and he tells me he can't do it because all of the sandwiches are pre-made. WHAT? that is the last thing you want to tell the customer. oh well! i took a seat outside and by the time i got settled in my sandwich was delivered to me. talk about pre-made. that was almost too fast. the sandwich looked really good but that's where it ended. when i took the first bite it almost came apart on me and the bread was so dry. i know it's a hot sandwich and it's grilled but i'm talking dry as in old. it's has so dry and hard it cut up the roof of my mouth. it had pretty good flavor but i felt as if i was eating a really dry pizza. honestly it tasted like those stouffers french bread pizzas. i used to like those growing up but this was a sandwich gone bad. darn you $10 turkey leg! it's all your fault! read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Dublin, California

Again, this brings back memories when we had a Panera across the street from our apartments! I am IN LOVE with their baked souffle spinach and cheese. In fact, I'm devouring one as I type this review.. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Oh, and their cinammon bagel is MONEY! read more

I would almost give five stars, but this place still seemed a bit disorganized. I'm thinking maybe they're still training new employees and/or working out the kinks? Anyway, no major problems. The employee taking my order had a problem with the cash register and had to retake the order and I think I said/was asked about five times if I wanted mustard on my tuna sandwich. No. Fuck mustard. But she was totally nice and friendly so it wasn't a big deal. Prices really aren't that bad. It's still hard to find a cheap lunch in the Valley, but at least you get a lot of food and a lot of quality for your money here. I got a half tuna sandwich (not huge but very good, am totally going back for a whole one sometime) and a cup of the creamy tomoto soup with cheesy croutons (which they give you in a separate to-go baggy so they don't get soggy, except I like soggy croutons). With your lunch you also get a choice of bread, apple or chips. I opted for the apple but it was so sad -- when I set it on my desk back at the office, it rolled straight into the garbage can! Sad! So I cannot comment on the tastiness of the apple (though the cashier swore they were really good and commended me on my choice). I also shared a chocolate chip cookie (only 99 cents with purchase of lunch!) and it was very tasty and soft and boy do I wish I didn't share it. Heh heh. I am pretty pumped to have a Panera closer to work/home and plan to come back again sometime. We didn't eat in, and although it was kind of crowded/crazy/noisy, I'm sure it would be OK once you sat down. There were still tables available. read more

Our first visit here got me all excited...always nice to have a new lunch spot in Dublin, but seriously the prices are a bit outrageous. Last week I had an asian chicken salad and a soda, which set me back just under $10 and it wasn't a huge portion either! read more

The WORST experience! Order soup & salad.....had to wait 30 minutes & then brought WRONG salad!! Definitely pass on this place in the future!! read more

The place has awesome greek salad and many other great veg options. But the best part is the polite , courteous and friendly staff. I feel so comfortable coming here and everyone here is so nice. Makes me feel like home !!! Please continue the soba noodle soup and greek salad with quinoa!! Yumm read more

i like their soups (especially the turkey chili i think it was -- some kind of chili). i recently tried one of their salads and found the lettuce to be wilted and not fresh, and i wasn't impressed by the flavor either. now i stick to the "u pick 2" with soup and a sandwich, with a baguette side. the chipotle chicken sandwich is delicious! oh and don't say "combo" if you want the "u pick 2" deal because there's a sandwich named the combo and things can get confusing, as i learned the hard way. :P read more

This is absolutely unacceptable & the last time I ever order from Panera's mobile app. On my lunch break today, I ordered & picked up my usual sandwich (steak & arugula) with my usual modifications (on french bread, extra tomatoes, no pickled onions, no mustard horseradish sauce) that I planned to take back to my office & have for dinner later on. When I opened my sandwich at dinnertime, excited & hungry, I was profoundly disappointed to find a large pickle (not even the pickled onions I already specified that I did not want) wrapped inside the same package my sandwich was in. The juice from the pickle had seeped into my sandwich & the entire thing smelled & tasted like the most disgusting food in the world! Trying to improvise, I planned to take the filling from my sandwich & put it into the baguette I had ordered as my side, but the baguette I received wouldn't even be worthy to be called that! Whenever I have dined in a Panera cafe, I have a received a substantially sized piece of bread with my meal. This piece of bread was less that 2 inches long & was definitely not big enough to make a sandwich on! Disappointed & getting HANGRY, I decided to call Panera's customer service line. The fellow I spoke with was nice enough & seemed genuinely apologetic that my order was not satisfactory, but all he was able to do was offer me an electronic gift card (which I would have to wait 2-3 business days for) for the value of my order & inform me that pickle spears should be included in all sandwiches ordered through the mobile app. I have never received a pickle in my sandwich before, & this would be something I would remember, as I hate pickles & refuse to eat them. First of all, I find it inexcusable that Panera thinks it's acceptable to add extra ingredients to an order. Second of all, I was offended that all they are willing to offer as requital for their error is a gift card to their own restaurant, forcing me to return & deal with their utter stupidity again! And finally, there is NOWHERE on the mobile app's menu that specifies a pickle is served with all sandwiches, & therefore no way to remove it from the order! read more

I usually love panera, but this Dublin location is very dirty. I was there on a Saturday afternoon for my first & last time. The carpets were dirty (needed sweeping and vacuuming), the tables were not clean (needed to be wiped down), the garbage and tubs for dirty dishes were over flowing, and the staff was not attentive. But the worst part was finding poop (with flies swarming) on the floor in the bathroom. It's safe to say I lost my appetite. Go to the San Ramon location instead, because this Dublin one was not sanitary. read more

I have decided to boycott this place after two bad experiences. I am a huge fan of the honey walnut cream cheese on a bagel, and I usually go there specifically for this. Last week I went there for the aforementioned walnut cream cheese on a bagel, and I also got a cup of the mushroom soup. The soup was so bad that I couldn't eat more than 10 bites of it! Today I went there again for the walnut cream cheese and a bagel to go. When I got home I opened the bag to find that they had forgotten to give me the cream cheese, and the bagel was stale. For a place known for their bread to have stale bagels is unacceptable. And no cream cheese, which I paid for! I will no longer waste my time and money going here. read more

Bad service. Extremely unhappy employees who are not friendly, don't smile, bad vibe. You lost my business. Sorry. People make your business thrive. That is not the case here. read more

This review is for Jason, a manager at Panera. Today I took my girlfriend who is in the last stages of a rare form of altzheimers and can barely walk. Jason was leaving for a break but when he saw us approaching Panera ,with her leaning heavily on my arm, he came back, held the door open and helped my friend to a table. He then offered to sit with her so's I could order sandwiches; he treated her to a complimentary coke. When we were eating he came back to see if we needed anything. This guy was AWESOME - extremely kind and compassionate. The food at this Panera is always good but this manager.... he is something else. Thank you. read more

Free WiFi, reasonably priced coffee, and great light good options make Panera a great choice if you're traveling, live in the area, and want a place to lounge for a bit. You don't see them much in the Urbs, but if I lived out near Pleasant-Town, I'd be here on the regular. read more

Sorry to say, but I'm downgrading my star rating to a one. I went in at 11:45am on a Tuesday and I am not even kidding, there was NO one at the register to take orders. The line was out the door. There was one girl on the phone taking an order and one other girl heating a bagel or something. That's it. During lunch rush. Get with the program, Dublin Panera! It's the lunch rush.....you should be ON IT! read more

Came in this place today mid afternoon for a late lunch with my hubby. We were both shocked to see the line of people waiting to order food even that time of day. We decided to go on and waited in line. As we made our order, we noticed about 20 customers were waiting for their food. What was disturbing was out of all the people waiting for their food not including the ones still waiting in line to order, there was only 2 person making the food. Our wait turned out to be 45 minutes. Once we got our food , I was completely shocked and baffled to see just half a sandwich that cost me $8 . I just couldn't believe that it was NEVER inform by cashier. What sit down restaurant sells half a sandwich and charges you so much? Not only that Panera Bread is very stingy with their stuff. Couldn't believed my husband ask to have a piece of bread with his salad and the attendant took his chips because he says he couldn't have both. Is he INSANE? That's absolutely PATHETIC!!! Had we known it was going to be this terrible place , we would have been much better off going to Mr Pickles in San Ramon and got much cheaper sandwich but completely satisfied. Now we know Why many of our friends avoid Panera Bread. To add to this BAD experienced, while we were looking for a table to sit. Most of the tables were dirty and some had stuff underneath the tables. Just absolutely gross !! Makes us wonder restaurant manager is NOT doing his /her job well. DISORGANIZED read more

Singlehandedly, the dirtiest Panera probably in all of North America, and definitely in the Bay Area. The food associates do not know how to cook food. Our sandwiches, which we asked to be toasted, were completely burned. My daughter's sandwich was also inedible. Table was dirty, I asked for it to be cleaned. They came by with a soaking wet towel (God knows from where) and proceeded to clean the table and the bench seats and walked away. I called dude back and said, "Do you expect me to sit on the wet seat?" He responded, "Oh yeah, let me get something to dry it." This is the second time we've had a terrible experience here. Suffice it to say, there will NOT be a third time. My wife and I also had stomach aches right after eating our lunch here, although I can't confirm it was caused by the food from Panera. At any rate, I lobby for this place to close down. read more

Just came in for dinner on a Thursday night around 9. Nobody was waiting to take orders so I ordered at the kiosk. When it came time to pay, the touch screen told me to take a pager and input a pager number. The pager unit was empty. There was noo one in the front to assist, so I looked around until I found one at one of other kiosks on the other side of the lobby. After I ordered, it took over 15 mins to get my order (chicken Ceasar salad). It was a change from the usual wait I experience at panera (5-10 mins at most). For a non-busy night, I was surprised and a little frustrated. Other customers were frustrated as well. The staff was nice, but seemed tired and disgruntled. It seemed there were a dozen people in the dining area but nobody behind the register or in the kitchen making the food. read more

This location needs help. The runners have no clue where any tables are, and bring me the wrong food at least once a month, only for me to return it, and watch them give it to someone else when it's been in front of me. Mathew is amazing and needs praising. He's always so nice and calls me by my first name whether I dine in or take out. As a current Panera Bread Associate, I believe the this location needs retraining for dining, not including Mathew! read more

Restuarant was way too crowded. Luckily, I ordered to go. I was out there in 2 minutes. See my other review for Panera Bread Millbrae, CA.

Took 25mins to get my sandwich. There were no napkins in the napkin holders. And tables were dirty. Dont think i will be coming back to this location even though i love panera. Not worth the weight. read more

As many other outline. This is another chain place that missses the mark. FIrst they dont let you customize anything. Any sandwich place should just show you a list of their breads, Meats, cheese, and condiments. Let you check off what you want hand it over the counter. all their "choices" are not good at all. I got a turkey sandwich and I honestly could have gotten somthing better at safeway premade. Avoid at all cost.. only use them for Wifi if need be.. read more

First off. Panera is super good, usually... My and my buddy got Mac and cheese and I immediately noticed that is was less creamy and a little dry. But still fine. My friend said he felt something on his neck but didnt tell us. Soon after my friend sitting across the table pointed out a giant 3 inch cockroach crawling on the booth. Overall not the best panera. Go to the one in san ramon. They did give us free cookies after they killed it. read more

A couple of tips for the server named Bhana: 1. Don't tell your co-worker that your customer needs a lobotomy in front of other customers; 2. (different customer ) I am sure it is difficult for a perfect person like yourself to live among imperfect people. I aplogize for picking up the wrong order, but the board showed that my order was ready and there was only one order up there. There was no need for the rude remark you made. Perhaps customer service is not a good field for you. On the plus side, my salad was wonderful and the young lady who took my order, Emily, was wonderful, too! read more

I like their Panini sandwiches and the smooties. Nice set up, service can be a little quicker other than that pretty good stuff.

Some of the staff here seemed a bit short with simple things like "you're out of water cups." They also have a 30 minute wifi policy. If you are going to be a place people come to get work done, this seems unreasonable. The food was standard panera bread food aside from not having many soup selections due to "mechanical issues." read more

Horrible line out to the door with only two cashiers. Also heard there is a 30 minute wait for your food. If I had known beforehand, I would not have used their kiosk for ordering and gone elsewhere! read more

Very nice, very casual place to get a nice meal at a good price. The bread is very good. I had the Italian sandwich. It was very tasty and the muffaletta on it added to the flavor profile. I also had a half Caesar salad t that was very good. very good dressing and came with fresh bread. I also have to say that the young lady that greeted us at the register was a treasure. Her smile was warm and genuine ( Selena ). So we got off to a good start. Picked up some scones and pastries for later which were very good also. Definite plus for a quick decent meal at good price. we will go back to try other items read more

I wish I could have some good things to say about the food here. Unfortunately, I don't. I tried the Bacon Turkey Bravo sandwich and the Chopped Chicken Cobb salad. The sandwich was something just plopped together. Meat, lettuce, cheese, and some dressing between bread. The salad looked like it came from those cheap pre-packaged salad bags you can buy at the grocery store, just this one had avocados, eggs, and bacon to spruce it up. Also over drenched in dressing. The bf ordered the mac n cheese; we both thought Kraft boxed mac n cheese tasted better. No thanks, Panera Bread. read more

I love panera! The service is always fast and the food is great and the location is very close to where I work. I really love their coffee as well read more

The portions are dismal. The $5 kids meal comes with a tiny sandwich, no drink, no toy. The food tastes OK but overall it's a poor value.

Food is decent but they really need to fix their operation. They get the order wrong more than half the time!!

Always an issue at this Paneras - short-staffed, incorrect food delivered, long waits. Have made management aware. No change unfortunately.

I've ordered them multiple times for caterings and they are ALWAYS late. Over 30 minutes past their "window period" late. This is not good business. I'll go with someone else next time. read more

I have been going to Panera for a long time and they can never get my order right. It's simple.. Fuji Apple chicken salad no onions or tomatoes and extra dressing on the side. What did I end up getting was onions on my salad and no extra dressing. I realize you are hiring older adults(which is great) but they need to know how to take an order and your preparers how to make the order correct. The restaraunt is messy and there isn't anyone to assist you once you sit down. As much as I enjoy their food I do not recommend this place if you want your order done correctly. read more

This store got new employees. Most of previous employees are gone. New hires dont help customers. I used to go there every weekends. Dont feel like to go there again. read more

Wow...my VPN actually works here. It doesn't at other Panera locations. So, this will definitely be a must meet place for co-workers and I for lunch. As long as we can be connected, we'll keep on spending at this Panera location. read more

Well, Panera Bread is pretty much like any other deli/bakery in terms of what to expect - sandwiches and paninis! The ambience is what makes it a whole lot different from your at the corner Subay or Quiznos or Toasty. Their menu is rather different. The sandwiches come pre-made, meaning you can't choose your veggies. But, if you ask them politely to not include something you want, they oblige you. A vast array of signature salads, soups, sandwiches and paninis is a delight. But if you are vegetarian, then your options are limited. Which kind of put me off. I liked whatever I chose from the sandwich menu. Their Mediterranean sandwich and tomato mozzarella panini are yum. However, here comes the reason for reduction in stars.Their soups. Their soups are something I'd consume only if I were attempting to lose weight or I am extremely calorie conscious or have a really nasty cold, and therefore don't care about the taste. Bland, saltless oh and, tasteless. Atleast the two soups I had. I had to pour a nice lump of salt and pepper to be able to finish my soups off. (My husband associates Panera with their soup, which was his stable diet when he was sick this one time and was rather hesistant to go along with me here. LOL.) Price-wise, they are pretty reasonable. Around the $8 for the "You pick 2" option, which enables you to choose 2 of the 3 - salad, soup and sandwich. Free wifi and comfortable seating is appealing. They have happy helpers around who bring your food to you. Would I go back? Maybe for the panini. Haven't tried their salads yet. So maybe that'd change my opinion and I'd care two hoots about their soup. read more

Love it! So many choices! I always go with a friend and I am satisfied every time. I enjoy their soup schedule - one day, I will go on a Friday to try their New England clam chowder. My only dislike is their soup comes either for one person or 4 people. I just got my Panera card and I will be treating myself to their mint crinkle cookie :) But they already know that read more
