    I am just not a fan. They get stars for their wait staff, who are always friendly and for the wifi, making it a good spot to work. That said, I've tried their mango smoothie which was pricy and not great, their salad was super plain and the soup is not what it used to be. The best option there is their bread. Easy parking though

    Located in the Chargers Commons in El Segundo, this Panera is very much like other Paneras I have been to. I was early for an appointment nearby and stopped by for a bagel, honey walnut cream cheese and just water. Always a fan of their bagels and cream cheese. I occasionally have chosen their decaf teas or coffee. Service at the front was pleasant. They have a code for the restroom that they provide to customers. I do not get the Pick 2 options anymore as I am not a fan of Corporate shrinkflation. (Higher pricing for tiny portions. See reviews and photos of others.) If I wanted a sandwich at the Chargers Commons, I would try their neighbor. Ghost Sando super closeby. Their yelp review ratings are averaging above 4 stars currently. But for something simple like a bagel and cream cheese or pastry, this Panera is OK.

    This location has comfortable seating, ambient pop music not too loud in the background and ample parking as well as complementary (not really competing) peer restaurant options along the walkway .

    Reality vs the ordering website

    Highway. Robbery. Who would pay $15.39 + tax, tip for this?? Empty sandwiches that are missing all the ingredients is just called bread. Tiny salads or soups. I don't understand how it's possible to be so bad. We've given this location a few tries. Always terrible. Hubby works down the street and would come for lunch even if this was borderline ok. He's a sandwich lover. Panera is a chain. The folks running this location know we compare to experience with other locations, right? SMH

    Tulip cookie.

    Drive through was terrible. Left me waiting for 10 minutes gave me the wrong order and then got home and the whole sandwich was burnt to a crisp. Not cool after an hour drive on the 405. Gave me a free tulip cookie. That was ok. Do better Panera

    I hadn't try this location again because I had a no so good experience last I came However today was great both my sandwich and salad were delicious Great customer service I gave 4 stars because service was fast and reliable

    No meat on a Philly cheese sandwich

    Literally just got home to discover hardly any meat on a $16 sandwich. This is truly my last time coming here. Panera fell all the way off . Now I have to spend more money somewhere else to get something to eat.

    Just came to this location the get a Sip Club drink. So as far as service, it is difficult to say. Staff seemed nice enough though. Ordered in advance in the app. This location looks newer and very clean and modern decor inside, will be back to do a sit down at some point. They have a private parking lot near the freeway. They also have a drive thru at this location. Highly recommended to join the Sip Club, unlimited drinks every two hours, every day, well worth it. Enjoy!

    Panera is my go to place for breakfast! They have so many delicious breakfast foods. They make picking up breakfast so convenient for me on my way to work. I love their lattes as well. Tip: order ahead so that you can quickly pick up and not waste no time. They have a huge parking lot and it's located next to other food places.

    This is a great location to come chill and work I see it's clean and organized and the staff are chill! The parking is open and it's nice to my fav food place calif chicken cafe which is really good besides Panera is good too! I see lots of men here in the morning but it's pretty empty!

    Overpriced bland food. Other choices. Their baked goods are good. But pass unless I just want coffee and pastry.

    Split a Summer Blackened Salmon Bowl (+ extra salmon) + brownie between 2 people. $38 (w 15% tip)…read more It's on the spendy side as you would imagine. 7ish/10 - It was pretty good. Pretty ok. Pretty fine. Not bad. Not fantastic. But good. With the price of everything else these days ($25 for 2 double-doubles, 2 fries and a shake...). The salmon was ok. It doesn't say fresh or frozen salmon anywhere, or if it's wild or farmed. I'm guessing it's frozen and farmed. The blackened flavor helps to hide that. The rest of the bowl was pretty good. The quinoa/rice was pretty tasty. The salad was ok, but I'm not a salad lover. Avocado, fresh. Salad dressing, VERY lemony if that's your thing. Brownie was slightly dry but also delicious cuz it's a brownie. It's gluten-free after all. The best part? It's just kind of a mellow meal. There's a lot of places to eat out in South Bay, but I don't always want pizza or sushi or burgers or steak. Sometimes I just want some chill food that's real and good, that's easy to get and easy to take home and this fits the bill! Pick-up is easy. I love the little area it's in, there's plenty of parking if you drive around. And there's a nice place to sit outside in the back/on the side with CLEAN tables and umbrellas. Honestly, so chill and quiet. Enjoyable. All in all, we'll be back.

    This time the amount of the pasta no vodka was very small. They decreased the amount of pasta and…read morethe sauce was too much. The penne are now pennette not regular size penne.

    Well, it's been quite a while since we dined here and, after tonight, we are wondering why we…read moredidn't come back sooner. The last time we were here, it was during a busy lunch and both the service and the food were below par. But tonight, it wasn't as busy and our server, Geovani, was excellent. First, we were quickly greeted and asked to select our table (since they were not that busy). Since there was only two of us, we picked a table for two. But, after we decided that we would split an appetizer and an entree, the table for two became way to small way too quickly. Geovani jumped right on this, suggesting we move to a larger table. He helped us move everything over and, voila, we were able to stretch out and relax and enjoy our meal. We started with the pear and blue cheese salad and, wow, we could have just ordered this, split it, and we would have been full. Very flavorful, generous portion that is definitely big enough to share. We also ordered the Sausage & Leek Fettuccine and I was definitely not thinking. Totally forgetting that leeks are part of the onion family (and I have a sensativity to onions). Once the dish arrive, I immediately noticed the similarity and was slowly trying to pick them away from my portion. Once again, Geovani came to our rescue. He asked how everything was and I told him I made a mistake (noted above). He quickly volunteered to have the kitchen make it again without the leeks. I asked, "Are you sure?", and he immediately said yes and removed the dish. Very shortly after, he returned with the "onion sterile" dish and it was wonderful. Both of us were so full you could have rolled us out the door. Good thing the parking garage is so close so we could just hop in our car and go home. Time to loosen the belt! ;) In a week where we have had some personal issues, it was so nice to be treated so well and received such a great tasting meal. Hope you get the time to stop in and I hope you get Giovani to answer all your questions and issues. Enjoy!!!

    This WAS my favorite brunch spot: could count on delicious omelettes, yummy French toast, great…read moreservice, inviting space. BUT, today the service was all around terrible. Waitress was a bit brusque. Ok. We all have bad days. But she never checked on us: MIA. I needed a refill. Waited and waited she was nowhere to be found. Busboy delivered our food. We asked for an extra plate and a refill. We never got either. Still no waitress. Had to go to the bar to get the plate and the refill. What really soured me was the bartender/manager's attitude. I told her the service was not good. She grudgingly asked what was wrong. I explained. She responded defensively that they had a busy day. No apology, which really goes a long way. She came back to check on us, but was surly. I would like to think that today was a one off. But the service was a big fail from the very beginning with waitress to the busboy to the manager. This signals a serious owner/management problem. In all fairness, food was still good. But, not so good as to put up with unprofessional service. I left with a very bad taste in my mouth. Had been giving this place a shout out to friends. Won't be doing that anymore.

It's an unassuming spot in a corner of a strip center that you could easily miss. It's the cutest space with indoor and patio seating as well as a few bar spots, good for solo dining. We started with the meatballs and Caesar salad. The meatballs had a crisp sear outside that gave way to a soft inside. So good with the tomato sauce and arugula. The Caesar had a touch of spiciness and was dressed with toasted bread crumbs, a nice touch. I had the bolognese. It was tender and meaty and the pasta had the right amount of bite. This was even great leftover the next day. The Meyer lemon pie was the perfect closer. DineLA was the right call to bring me in to to try this gem of a spot.

It's located in a shopping area in El Segundo called The Point. Parking: parking can be a little tricky, but it's free parking! Such an anomaly in the LA area lol. Kat was our waitress and she was phenomenal. Camine also came by and she was so hospitable. Everything that we ordered was on point! (Pun intended lol). My daughter got the cheese pizza and my son got the penne pasta. I kind of wish they had a side of vegetables or fruit, but thankfully, I had just given my kids some fruit before, so avoided the mom guilt lol. The edamame dumplings is an absolute must! It's an umami flavored dish! We also got the eggplant dish, and it was really good! If you've been to elephante in Santa Monica, it kind of reminds me of that, but the eggplant is a little bit more dense, but really great flavors. You may have to order an extra eggplant dip, because the ratio isn't exactly favorable towards the eggplant. Got the kale salad with shrimp. The shrimp was cooked to perfection! Kale was pretty good, but asked for extra cheese. My husband was all about the burger and he claimed it was one of the best burgers he's ever had! He got an IPA beer and I got a watermelon mint Mojito. It was really good, but I think I will try the skinny margarita next time. The price is actually pretty reasonable for the clean /delicious food! We are most definitely coming back!
