They just don't quite have what they need.is, additional toppings, etc. available. Soups don't really align with their somewhat Italian theme. Confusing concept... you order at one station, go grab a table, then you pick it up elsewhere inside the building with no explanation provided! On top of that they recommend you tip 18 to 25%. read more

Do Not Get The New Pepperoni Sandwich! Zero flavor and almost no food on this sandwich. It's made on a thin baguette. The sauce is nothing. The pepperoni is some cheap version of the stuff, doesn't taste like meat. The picture of this sandwich is this juicy delicious thing, the real thing is so far from what you get and it's expensive at $11.50. This won't stay on the menu long because once you get it you will never get it again. read more

Their food is amazing. The only complaint I have is they are so inconsistent on take out orders. I always order a turkey sandwich with extra turkey and avocado. Half the time I get extra and half the time it comes with no extra. For $18 I would like to get the extra turkey!!! read more

This location consistently fails to get orders correct/complete. Check your food before you leave. I often order large "catering" orders and i have learned to carefully check those to ensure the correct number of items. Today, my breakfast sandwich was missing the sausage. I guess I need to unwrap items and check for ingredients now too.... read more

I had an issue with ordering which was 100% my fault. I live in Victorville but I accidentally preferred from Panera-Fontana. I called just to let them know they will have an order for me that won't be picked up. NIKITA was so friendly putting the customer first. She went above and beyond to make my day. Again. My fault, my error. THANK YOU NIKITA!!!!!! You are stellar at customer service! read more

Soup is way too expensive! I really liked Panera back in the day, but why is everything so overpriced.

This place has been "under maintenance" forever and it's been really annoying coming here and finding out nothing works and nothing is available. Save the trip and make your way to Redlands for a REAL Panera experience. read more

Literally the WORST customer service out there. Every. Single. Time. It's insane. They do have good food and I enjoy the freshness but every time I attend this location they mess up our order. How is that even possible? We prefer to order Rapid Order pick and every single time it's wrong. And I mean wrong like missing a sandwich. Missing soup. Not just a missed ingredient. Although that happens plenty of times as well. They also are always out of stuff. My mom orders catering for work through them at this location and she said it has always been wrong as well. It's so frustrating driving there. Hoping for a quick meal and then getting home and it's wrong. No I don't want to drive back and get it. Why do we keep going back?!? Ugh read more

I come here every week at least once. Place an order for large barbecue Mac n Cheese. Every single time. Today's visit yielded 1/2 an order, I questioned it and stated I paid for a full order. They said it was the full. It was not. So to 'please me' they added a couple of extra Mac n Chese noodles to the plate. I questioned it again, and was told I was wrong, this was the large order. Everyone working was new, no familiar face, no manager to discuss with, and they just looked at each other clueless wen I discussed the issue that I am paying for a full meal and only received half. On another note, I also asked for onions on my plate and one came, had to show him the receipt to verify. Unreal. Orientation and customer service is key to a business and they truly missed the mark. read more

I had a great experiencs. This location adhered to Covid-19 social distancing guidelines. The staff are super friendly and warm. I sincerely appreciate Roel & Haley. They were superb!! Happy Holidays read more

Had breakfast there this morning with my family. Good options for adults and kids. Jocelyn was the best!! Thank you for your help Jocelyn, God bless you. read more

Incompetent facility, how many times can this place intentionally not place your complete to go order. It's almost as they are intentionally trying to rob you of what you paid for them to eat at their kitchen! read more

I was ordering my food the other day with my wife and two kids. We don't eat here very often. I was helped my a worker name Melanie. She was awesome and provided excellent customer service. She was able to help us with the menu and our family was extremely satisfied. When I come back to this restaurant, I will ask for her. I'm impressed that you have great employees who work for your company. 5 stars for the excellent service. read more

Terrible food quality. Manager terrible. Ambiance.....negative stars. Do not come here! read more

Panera Bread - freezing cold chicken they gave me on the side because they didn't put chicken in my chicken salad. - Sandwiches Near Me - Fontana, California

Long wait for just a bowl of soup, watered down strawberry lemonade and the bread they gave me i know is not a baguette. Not even friendly service. I stood in front of them for 10 minutes before someone even asked if i needed something. I told her i was just waiting but geez at least acknowledge your customers. read more

They've been having some issues with speed lately but I gave them some time to figure it out because COVID-19 changed the way they do business. Today, my order was brought out extremely fast which was appreciated but the quality of the coffee was extremely poor. Even though it's further away, I'm going to have to start going to another store. read more

Hannah has a great attitude and was very helpful and patient with my grandma. I'll be sure visit again soon.

The folks in the food prep area are zeroing customers off the board far before the orders are ready - I'm assuming to game their system and make it look like the food is being served faster than it is. I ordered at 7:24pm. My name was on the prep board then suddenly disappeared without being called so I kept waiting. At 7:44 I was called and noted that my second receipt (attached to food) said served at 7:33. Posting this because if I were management here (or customer service elsewhere) I would want to know my employees were doing this. I'm assuming those metrics exist for a specific reason. Also - lemons in the vegetable soup are gross. read more

Rude worker that gave me my food. Didn't see my order, told them if I had a pick up order for food by the pick up window. When I asked the worker she had an attitude and said okay????? Then said why don't you go look for it. Another girl told her it was on the side and she said well it's not supposed to be there. Big power trip. Not sure who ruined her day but man she really had a problem. read more

I don't care what these reviews say. BEST PANERA I've EVER been too! This Panera is the whole package. Manager was greeting customers & helping on register when we arrived. Staff member greeted us as she wiped tables properly with sanitizer. Entire system worked flawlessly. Stations were extremely clean & stocked. I asked the staff member if there was any 2% milk instead of half & half for my coffee... & she responded, "would you like it cold or steamed?." My jaw dropped. I watched her wash her hands then come back with steamed milk. I wish all the Panera Beads were like this. Nothing sloppy about this location. Management is doing something right. This is what passionate hard work looks like. read more

So pros: The cappuccinos are good Baked items are good My picky kid loved the chicken noodle My Thai salad was decent Cons: The are slow as heck.... SLOW! Meaning it took 25 minutes from the time I ordered my salad to the time I got it. That's way too long. It costed me $27 for one salad, a cinnamon roll, and 2 drinks. That's excessive. Overall it's just meh. I feel like the service used to be better. The people are nice.... they're just very slow. read more

I went yesterday morning before my appointment to pick up a bagel and coffee and a wrap. It was a mobile order so no big deal.. just run in and out, I get there and it's not ready at the cubby but I had the email that it was. I go to the counter and ask and the lady working said, I just put it out there go look again. I said it's not because the shelf is empty so I know I didn't miss it. She gets up and goes to look at the shelf, it's not there. She turns to me and told me she made it. Well I don't have it, so... we stare at each other and then she starts talking with the other lady behind the counter about how the food just disappeared.. fast forward she's like here. I made it again.. I look in the bag and it's the wrong bagel.. I turn to her and tell her you gave me blueberry. I ordered cinnamon.. she's like omg. Goes back to look at the order and realizes yes She's wrong again. Makes the new one and just left it on the counter and said here! The lack of service at this restaurant needs to be addressed along with their lack of attention to accuracy of the orders. I always have issues with mobile order here. The staff doesn't even acknowledge you until you practically bang on the counter for service. It was slow, and they looked pretty well staffed. I don't think I will return to Panera after this incident. read more

I like the meals even though the Somewhat expensive with the always something out. And I'm talking about three out of the six times for takeout do you always leave something out. Then I always have to pay for it and go back. Don't feel bad if I go there and check out all the bags to make sure that everything is there. It's very embarrassing to me and the company but that's what I have to do to get the order right.Tonight it was a soup. Tomato soup that was left out of the order. Get it right people! read more

Very disappointed with this experience. I ordered using kiosk the you pick 2 and got all the way home to find out I had no sandwich that I ordered. There is no answer to one phone number provided at this website for Panera. The receipt has the "order checked by" blank. Looks like you are not following your own checks and balances. read more

Panera Bread - Missing quality check and sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Fontana, California

I have been to this location several times within two weeks. Sit at the same booth. The table and seats were full of crumbs. The floor was filthy too. Where the coffee and the cups are located under the counter is filthy. They need to sweep underneath it. It's horrible when you have to wipe your table and seating area off. Need to hire more people. The prices you charge for the food the place should be a lot cleaner. The cashier's are not very friendly. It's great they do recycle. I remember when they had people bring your food to you. The soup and hot chocolate needs to be hotter. Stop giving hard to eat bread with the soups. Where's the supervisor don't they see how filthy the place is. Hire people to come in and clean it. The worst part is the parking. I hope when I come back again it will be cleaner and I don't have to wipe my table off. read more

Richard shift manager was extremely nice had a lot of patience and really knowledgeable with the menu thank you for the experience

This location deserves nothing less than 5 stars. I was blown away for how incredible service from Ms. Raisa. I wish there where more people in this world like her. I am a business owner and after Raisa assisted me I felt so blessed and honored to learn from her how kindness is powerful. I will never forget the great experience I had today at Panera Bread! 5 starts for the amazing Raisa! read more

Just ordered Panera for the first time and we were beyond disappointed..5 minutes before delivery they texted us that they had no broccoli cheddar soup...I ordered a chicken sandwich based off the picture and it looked NOTHING like it!!! It was almost $16.00, ($16.00!!!!!!!!!!) and the chicken was sooo small w/ minimal toppings.....Should have went to Chick Filet....My husbands French onion soup was horrible, his grilled cheese bland...My mom's chicken soup was bland~ Campbell's canned chicken soup is better...For almost $65.00 I am blown away that Panera gets away with this..Food prices are at an all time high so please, MAKE FOOD GOOD!!!! read more

This is the 2nd time I'm here at7:26 and again no coffee you will think bc it's morning lots of people are wanting coffee, I have to wait again for the coffee, short staff to make breakfast takes a long time Because they have one person in the kitchen The worse Panera place to come - they never have coffee light or dark -take forever to get your order - they are rude when asking why is there no coffee - waiter 18 mins to get coffee ** NOT VERY HAPPY**** read more

The place looks better but the to go portions have shrank to 1/3 box of its former self. I paid about $15 for a 1/3 size salad and a bowl that i would consider small soup. Good looking environment at a cost to quantity of food dramatically shrunk read more

I love Panera. But the customer service here is terrible. I placed an online order today for curbside pickup. Order was placed at 1:44pm for 2:50pm pick up. Got there at 2:50. Waited in my car for a bit. Finally went up to the counter. I was told they did not have an order for that name. After pushing a little, the young girl asked if I was at the right location. I showed her my confirmation email. She went to ask her manager. Then came back with a print out of my order and said I ordered it for the wrong time??? The time she pointed at was labeled as "fulfillment time: 1:52pm". I'm pretty sure someone was about to start my order and realized my pick up time, and my order was lost in the shuffle. I showed her my confirmation showed the 2:50pm pick up time. She didn't seem to care much. She then said "well we're out of that soup, do you want something else?" At that point I asked to cancel my order. I had to ask to get a manager to get me a copy of my canceled order to make sure I am not charged, since this you girl's idea of a receipt that showed canceled was a copy of my "ordering details". Terrible service. read more

Curbside pickup took 30 minutes! There was nobody in the restaurant. Food was fine, it's Panera, but not worth the wait! Ugh

The service was beyond hospitable and genuine today, I always return here because of the cleanliness and well prepped food. Today because of the atrocities going on in Middle East , I was debating on a cup or bowl of my favorite soup (broccoli cheddar) . I ordered the cup but when I went to grab my food Kar advised me she upgraded it to a bowl just because , she said I should enjoy that bowl of soup because of her act of kindness I knew that my sympathies and prayers are heard. Thank you so so much for that kind gesture read more

Dante helped me out today and I feel like he should be a bartender or the manager he's got good communications skills

I LOVE Panera Bread... just not this particular store.. I've gone here twice and I don't plan on going again.. They run out of pastries and paninis by 7pm.. argh! Also.. my mom and I ordered a soup with a slice of baguette.. and specifically asked for NO ENDS... cuz we like slices from the middle.. I look into my bag of food.. and what do we see? ENDS! ENDS OF BAGUETTES!! After we specifically asked for NO ends.. argh!!! I've definitely experienced better service at the Panera Bread in San Bernardino.. near where I work.. and I don't plan on coming back here.. If I want Panera Bread when I'm at home.. I'll go to the one in Rancho.. on Haven and Foothill.. read more

The restaurant was dirty, and pretty empty. I was wondering why every table that was open had food on it along with trash around it. Kinda disappointed when we walked in and were told before we ordered that they were out of four different foods including their French Baguette. I figured a big restaurant chain like Panera Bread would have a manager or someone in charge of making sure that there was enough food supply to last through the whole day. There were people in the restaurant who weren't eating, but instead just sleeping. I took the liberty of taking a picture. Kinda looked like a homeless encampment. On a good note, the staff was very nice. I'd probably go back but I would definitely make sure that when I do, it's early in the business hours. read more

Panera Bread - I'm used to this at Starbucks but not a restaurant. - Sandwiches Near Me - Fontana, California

Panera Bread - My Asian salad and I found this at the bottom. Disgusting! What is this! - Sandwiches Near Me - Fontana, California

I love Panera and i will continue to go here only because of their food and it's right down the street from me. If your thinking of visiting here are some key points to think of when coming here. -parking is a nightmare. It's a hit or a miss but most of the time you have to park by Starbucks and walk over. - I came in this morning to pick up my rapid pick up and apparently someone took my food. This didn't seem surprising to them because they just refunded me my money and said someone must have taken it. The manager was already dealing with someone trying to get an extra smoothie for free because it was apparently wrong and because of that madness i ended up getting the short end of the customer service experience in trying to help me locate my food. The girl working felt bad that i was standing there for 20 minutes so she gave me a smoothie that they messed up. It seems this location is just ghetto with the crowd that comes to it for someone to be complaining about a smoothie mess up and my food being stolen. So just be warned there are some cons to coming to this one. read more

They remodeled this establishment and I am bummed about the new layout inside. It does not have that cozy and comfortable setting like it used to and the display cases do not speak "buy me" when looking at the food. Overall, it now feels sterile and generic and the seating is seems to be less. Additionally, I never order pick two anymore, especially for take out. The prices are not half and the portions are most always less than half. It is more bang for my buck to order a whole sandwich, salad or soup and split than to order a pick two. The portions for in restaurant seating are adequate, but not for take out. Often there is something missing, but that has improved over the months. Now, if I were to talk about the food itself...superb! I love the quality and freshness, so I do not mind paying a little more. This review will not prevent me from coming back, it is just my personal opinion. My only recommendation is purchase whole and split the food, save for leftovers or share with a family member. You will be more pleased to pay for full order because you feel you've got more for your cost. Full disclosure...I began this review long before COVID when they first remodeled and did not finish the review until now. read more

Great service, employees are great! Very quick service! Ordered food at 9:30 and it was great! Love this Panera! Will definitely come back when coming from Venice Beach!!! read more
