Hello Panera in Falcon Ridge, Fontana, California!!!!!!!! You are there for us at 6:00 am sharp, not 6:01 or 6:02 with open doors and arms, hot and fresh coffee and smiles galore courtesy the awesome Bri and very nice Karen. Then again at 8:52 pm for that post big dinner green tea with honey. This is a nice, cozy, not too big but just right location that I have never seen too crowded. The atmosphere is chill. The layout is very customer friendly with easy access to the pick up area. The coffee and tea section is well maintained. We have had the Asian Chicken salad - very fresh, tasty and with a great dressing. Tomato soup - just can't get enough. Asiago bagels - toasted just right with the cheese melting and that little almost burnt but well done flavor and aroma. The breakfast sandwiches- the sausage and eggs on Ciabatta with a little Tabasco got 3 out of 4 votes. The restrooms are clean and taken care of. The team here starting with the GM Efrem is solid. This is a training facility for other locations and I have met the awesome Kiara, Team Lead from Yucaipa and Berlyn who will be transitioning to Rancho Cucamonga in a few. Parking can be a bit tight so please do park a 100 yards away in the ample and open Target lot. I love that this is a very convenient spot just off the I 15 freeway Vegas bound or on the return with a quick jump on and off. read more

1/16/2026 4 1/2 Stars - Forgot an additional item on salad. Autumn Squash Soup - This soup was recommended by the cashier at the register. She recommended this soup over the tomato soup. Decided to get a bowl because I was hangry! It was delicious and had that warm autumnal flavors. The butternut squash flavor was rich and creamy. There was a lovely sweetness to the soup with a hint of cinnamon. I know there are other flavors, but that's what I tasted right away. Love the crunch of roasted pumpkin seeds sprinkled on top. I would order again if I ever want some squash soup! Not sure if this was seasonal. Mediterranean Chicken Greens with Grains - Clean, crisp romaine lettuce with mixed greens. The greek dressing did not have overly strong herbal flavors and acidity, which I really liked. Honestly, it tasted more like a light Italian dressing. Love the additions of creamy hummus, tangy feta, and fresh, sliced cucumbers. The red onions were left as a large raw onion ring than being chopped up, which actually was better. Loved the sweet peppers (aka spicy chopped cherry peppers), which brought the whole salad together. The chicken was a good choice because clean eating for January was hard. I needed some protein! Chicken was thinly sliced and chopped up. It was moist and not dry. One thing they forgot: The farro and rice grains. That would have been a good salad! But overall a very satisfying salad! I was surprised I enjoyed it so much! I would order this again! French Baguette - Each order comes with chips or baguette. I had two separate orders, so they gave me two. I was not eating any carbs for clean January, but they just added the baguettes in there. Had my family eat it. They said the outer crust was not hard, but not pleasant to eat and it was too chewy on the inside. Not that great, but they still ate it. Customer Service - Ordered at the front register. Good, friendly and patient customer service! Also, the person who gave me my order was friendly too. Nice people all around! Had my food to-go and the food came out within 10 minutes. For to-go orders, there is a screen on the wall next to the pick-up counter that shows you if your order is being prepared or if it is ready for pick-up. It helps looking at it and pass the time! Lol! Ambiance / Seats / Bathroom - There is a lot of tables and chairs indoors and outdoors too, so it won't be difficult to find a place to eat. Not a lot of people eat inside, so there's plenty of seats. It is an old restaurant and it shows. It is clean, but the furniture is old. Definitely needs an update! If it's well-established, I think a renovation would be good! Bathroom was clean. A few stalls. Bathroom also needs a makeover too. Parking - Right in front of the restaurant is difficult. This is a strip mall where lots of businesses share parking. However, this is a large strip mall, so you can find parking elsewhere. read more

The food is good, healthy and plentiful. The environment is comfortable. The service is ok. The issue I have is why can't they label items when it's a to go order. The carrying is in the details. read more

Panera Bread - Are they so busy that they can't stop to label items? - Sandwiches Near Me - Fontana, California

Ordered from this location on road trip from Vegas to Long Beach. They are conveniently located right off the highway and our order was ready for pickup in the drive thru as promised. They offered the standard high quality items that PB is known for, great bagels and salads. Got a bakers dozen bagels and two salads, both fresh and tasty. We were very disappointed that the team chose to place all bagels, both sweet and savory (everything bagel) in the same bag. It was a huge letdown as the everything bagel is very strong scented and it goes terribly with the sweet bagels. In fact, the smell was so strong that my husband passed on the bagels. He does not do onion ever and the smell penetrated everything. Was also bummed that they were not placed in a bog, just a cheap and thin bag, all together. DO BETTER PB! read more

My only issue with the Summit Panera is the leak and water on the floor by the drink machine. I started going there before a class Months ago. The slippery wet floor has been a safety hazard there for over three months, probably longer. When will it be fixed????? read more

My first time placing an order in the kiosk . The ordering process was simple and easy to maneuver . Parking here is a bit challenging during lunch time hour , I usually park at the Target side and walk over . The time to retrieve our food was fairly quick, dining room and bathroom were clean . Greens with chicken , avocado dressing were perfectly distributed and tomatoe soup paired well with this meal . read more

Was the worst experience I've had at any other Panera this specific Panera they were the workers that we went up to were genuinely the rudest people I've ever met in my whole entire life. They were very disrespectful to us. There is so many other Panera's and other places that you could go do not come here repeat do not come here. I repeat do not come here. read more

Idk what happened in 2019 and 2022 it was well priced and I always loved getting the chicken avocado melt but it's so salty and less flavorful, in other spots the chicken isn't even cooked all the way and plus all the heart attacks from their improperly labeled lemonade like what happened this place sucks now it's too expensive now too read more

Every time they mess up the order extra tasted bagel... comes out barely toasty still soft... no peppers on sandwich... guess what ? It's always wrong. It's funny peopel demand more money for minimum wage jobs that require zero skill but can't perform anything! Simple freaking task guess what I bet all the employees here took the short bus to school... I guarantee it. I'm sitting here wit right now $39 for lunch for the two of us and it's wrong again.... You wonder why so many dining establishments are going out of business it's because the employees don't give a sh#t and demand higher pay last time I eat here read more

Panera Bread - Here what we didn't want on the sand sandwich.... - Sandwiches Near Me - Fontana, California

food : standard panera food bread is fire- always get the baguette , texture is amazing lowkey soups are my fave , they taste like what you imagine it to taste like (butternut squash is seasonal but a must) service : actually really good came here at night and even though it felt like everyone was tired they were all super nice ambiance : chill , sad vibe it also depends on who is working and what day/time of day it is read more

Yummy fresh food love the Mediterranean salad and the broccoli cheese bowl. Totally recommend

Rachel is amazing and full of happiness and enthusiasm very rare ,love this Panera will def stop here again on our way out

I like Panera Bread but the fact that you have to tell them every single thing like hey toast my bagel and slice it. You have to customize your order. Who else wants to buy a five dollar bagel that's cold and not sliced. I could just buy a bagel at the grocery store then. When Tammy had to tell him to toast my grilled cheese sandwich, it was just two pieces of bread with some cold cheese in the middle. Thought I was getting breakfast today instead I got a cold ass bagel cause I didn't "customize" it to common sense read more

genuinely just met the most incompetent person at the checkout thing where you pick up your drinks. I asked him if I could have my two drinks because obviously it's right in front of him. It would take him 1 ms to put it out. He told me oh well ma'am, there's a lot of other people who are in front of you who have orders too so you have to wait and then after that after like I don't know 30 freaking minutes then our drink finally came out genuinely the most incompetent people I've ever met in my whole entire life. Also, the ambience it's horrible in there it smells horrible and we looked in the drink thing and there was like slop all over it, and it was genuinely the most disgusting thing ever. read more

Food always excellent Service is great! Ambiance is very comfortable. An employee was asked by a customer if she could assist his wife to restroom. I believe she was partially blind. I saw the employee assist her by shoulder guiding her to restroom. I told her that is acceptably great made me happy to see an employee help. Employees name is Josie. She works at Victorville location on Amagosa. Kudos to her read more

Terrible service waiting and waiting I asked a girl if there was anybody working the front desk she completely ignored me. I guess the trash is more important than customers. I just left terrible never again read more

I needed to do some work on the computer with my girlfriend and went to Panera. I like it because it has the right type of ambience to do work or homework. The music isn't too loud but just about right. The service was good as the food came out quickly. I did like the salad but I wasn't a big fan of the sandwich. Next time, I'll order the tuna. read more

Parking was a bit hidden if you come in from the shopping center but once you make it to the corner and make a right I'll find a parking spot right away. Cashier less option and Cashier option ... Briana was extremely helpful and accommodating to me.Even if she was the only one working the cashier, restocking and someone got there for a job interview all at once it seemed ...(Yay) She was also smiling the whole time. I was being extremely indecisive everything smelled and was presented so well. The lobby was nice, and clean we didn't stay for long but the Service that was provided by Briana was amazing thank you. My little one loved the food he cannot wait to go back. read more

Strong odor of rotten broccoli and cigarette smoke prevented us from eating. Couldn't get through ordering food before being overpowered by the terrible odor. They must've had a transient hanging out nearby. read more

would have given a five but seeing this was a HUGE turnoff and I don't feel that is very sanitary considering guests could potentially touch the bread when grabbing a cupholder. read more

Service - quick and friendly servers. My orders are usually ready by the time I arrive for my mobile orders. Food - I am actually surprised at the variety of food they offer. I used to think of Panera bread for sandwiches. Their unlimited sips special actually brought me in and noticed their expanded drink and food menu. I have been enjoying their bagels and coffee everyday now! Ambiance - Relaxed atmosphere. I often see a teenagers and adults on their computer enjoying the wifi and drinks. I would come here again and again! read more

Panera Bread - Iced coffee and Iced Green Tea - Sandwiches Near Me - Fontana, California

While this Panera location is clean, the service leaves much to be desired. On my recent visit, I had to wait 10 minutes without any staff attending to me, and eventually, I just left. This was my second time experiencing this issue here. The staff seems indifferent to customers waiting in line, causing long waits and frustration. I've seen many people leave due to the lack of assistance. The food is okay, but the poor service means I won't be coming back to this location. read more

6:30 in the morning and my good mood quickly turned into frustration because the workers here are extremely rude. The lady at the front is always so kind, but it's more of the manager that's in the back My sandwich was cold and she had an attitude when I asked her to warm it up. The second time they made my sandwich they didn't even call my name so it was just sitting there My sandwich was still cold, but I was so upset that I didn't even want to look at the manager. read more

This is my favorite local Panera! The manager Efrain and his staff are very friendly and helpful - they keep the restaurant nice and clean, and the quality of food is always at its best. We are also apart of the Panera Sip Club, so this location is a daily stop for us! read more

Disappointed. The handsome woman at the pick-up counter was kinda salty that I asked about my order. The smoothies were watery and small. Not worth it. Sandwiches were good and they did provide ample napkins for our order. read more

Even though this location is less than a minute from where I live, I would rather drive to a different location due to the HORRENDOUS customer service. No hello, no thank you, no apologies for an order not being placed where the app stated it would be. If you want to be ignored and treated like you are bothering the employees feel free to waste your time and money here. Otherwise, there are plenty of other locations with GREAT service. read more

It's unfortunate that I have to write this. It's been a few days since this happened, so this is not an emotional review. Service and food used to be good at this location, but it's become progressively worse. This was the last straw. Ordered via the app as usual. Got there and food was 15 mins past the promised time. It was curbside. Called the store to see if the order was received or late. They just forgot to bring it out. Cody the manager brought it out, friendly. Got home, and the Baja Bowl was a disaster! The avocado was rotten to the core. See pictures. I called Cody and he was apologetic and gave me a credit for a bowl. We hung up, and I was stirring the bowl & removing the avocado, and there was a plastic lid from a dressing cup in the food, in the bowl. See pictures. I called Cody back, this time I was upset, not just irritated. This time I asked for a refund and he did it without hesitation. Cody was the only good thing from this experience. Felt sorry for the guy to be honest. Not his fault. Idk how it would enter any one's mind that this food was good for presentation, let alone consumption! Absolute trash! Until the food and service improves, I can't recommend this location at this time. I've since received a refund and food credit. Want to give credit for the follow up. read more

Terrible. It was 10am and they had no Bagels . I asked if they will make anymore and the attendant said "No sorry". There baskets were all empty. So disappointed. All I came there for was just for an Asiago Bagel.... So I drove to the nearest Panera, Rialto ( Renaissance)which they did have bagels and so many to choose from. read more

Great consistency with there food and services. The atmosphere is very busy but clean. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

Panera Fontana always delivers the best customer service and freshness! I always take my time to look at the menu even though I ALREADY know what I want to get, Frontega Chicken on Sourdough with Chicken Noodle soup and a lemonade. (THE best). Anyhow, I was going through my regular antics, and I was met with kindness, patience, and expertise by Isabel! Great work Panera! It's a great way to get a bite at your home away from home! read more

Today was a sunny morning and we craved going out to breakfast my wife and I. We chose Panera on Summit. From the start it was great, Joselyn Greeted us with a smile and made this experience very welcoming. Our order was perfect and very smooth. This made us feel very welcome here. The time we spent here was very nice and warm. The location played good music and was soothing. Thank you for a great experience to you all. read more

I just received my door dash lunch from Fontana Panera. Nicely taped shut. I ordered Mac n cheese for almost $11 and literally receive 1/2 a cup. read more

Panera Bread - My full order at almost $11 of Mac n cheese. It's about 1/3. Cup. What's up with that?! Do better Fontana Panera - Sandwiches Near Me - Fontana, California

One star for service. Restaurant was clean but felt crowded, too many tables cramed in the footprint. Cost is the big negative. I understand that things cost more, and I'm all for it, but I ordered the new teriyaki bowl, and it was probably about $1.25 of food. The manager should be embarrassed that corporate is sending that down as a serving. I actually questioned the serving size, and they said it was the only size they had. Again, when you see the image, please note the size of the fork or bread for perspective. Additionally, there was a strawberry in my bowl, which I assume got in from the line but just dissatisfied with the quality and quantity. read more

Panera Bread - "Whole size" they have a pick 2 option, but it's the same size. - Sandwiches Near Me - Fontana, California

This is the closest Panera near my work and I enjoy the food and drinks. I used to eat at the location, but lately, there have been a group of Indian or Pakistani guys just hanging out inside watching videos on their phones and being loud. They don't look to be eating, or being paying customers, just taking of space and annoying customers. I now take my food to-go and eat it somewhere else. read more

Don't know what going on at this store! It is terrible so many changes and the quality of the product is inedible. Ordered dozen bagels and so gross the now according to manager just throw it in the brown carry out bag... no plastic bag or box like before ...ordered a caprese sandwich and what a joke! Spoke to Tyler both times and got absolutely nowhere so forced to do a Yelp review and contact corporate...unacceptable time to go elsewhere since they are expensive read more

Logo is a bit different without the signature lady with bread, just the letters Panera present for the moment, the place filled up all the cups at kiosks for self service, the 2nd location I have seen to practice this, also they have plastic straws which is great, syrup for coffee also available at the counter, water has its own fountain combine with soft drinks machine, finally the seats were clean but a bit wet, so I took down a star, but at least I could stay at charge my phone because they have a lot of outlets. read more

The customer service corporation line was awful, rude and unprofessional. I'm done with Panera. I paid for a year of Sips and the app stop working, right after. What's the point. Back to Starbucks I go. read more

Have been going to this location for a while since it's close to home. I love that we are able to order online but it's been hit and miss with the time to receive the order. Typically it's been fast but there has been a few times that the app said my order was ready when actually it wasn't when I arrived. The food has been pretty consistent which is a plus. I love their chicken and wild rice soup and their toasted Fontega chicken sandwich. For breakfast, I love their spinach and artichoke soufflé as well as their breakfast sandwiches. If wanting something quick, Panera should do the trick. read more

Located in the plaza across Target. Limited parking nearby. We first tried ordering on the kiosk, but our orders didn't work when we tried to pay. We had to walk up to the counter and ordered our meal again in person. Don't forget to sign up for the rewards. It always takes awhile for your order to be prepared, but this gives us the time to talk together about our day with my family. Ordered: Pepperoni flatbread Asian chicken salad and chicken almond sandwich Vegetable soup and turkey sandwich Overall, our meal was delicious and we'll probably go to Panera Bread again. read more

Great place to study, and not too noisy on weekdays. Plenty of seating with outlets. Food is pretty average. I wish the portions were a bit bigger for what they charge in this chain café but the drinks are reasonable and you get unlimited refills. I used to come in highschool to get a break from studying at the library/home, and years later, I think I might come more often for the same reason :) read more
