This month was the First time ordering Panera our first ordered early this month was the breakfast which I love the bacon soufflé version and their Vanilla Late Coffee! Today we decided to try their sandwiches. Although I wanted to try the new sandwich it's not available so I selected another one. At first the one-line is not taking orders then we had to try again. I even called number but it's just a dropped call not encouraging. Finally we got our order in and can't wait to taste. Few minutes wait on the pick up it's okay coZ it's lunch time. When we got home opened my sandwich I was disappointed to see how little amount inside including soggy tomatoes and whatever includes with the chicken. Bread is okay ,chicken got flavor I guess , but overall experience with this chicken is disappointing! I guess even tomatoes are expensive oh well! This was old comment that was not posted
Panera is always a good choice for soup, salad and something sweet. The strawberry poppyseed summer salad is delicious. I always need extra dressing tho.
bought a full salad and i might as well have just bought half ordered extra caesar they usually give four dressings i received three makes sense since they didnt give me a full bowl
I had an app reward I wanted to use, so I stopped in here after a visit to the park with the kids. Placed my order before driving, and my food was ready before I got there. The rapid pick up orders at this location are kept behind the counter, so be sure to flag someone down when you get there to claim your order. We got home, and the food portions were alarmingly small. I don't remember them being this small when I used to frequent one of Panera's Market St SF locations, so I was pretty shocked. In any case, Panera's food does lean on the healthier side, so expect healthy (low fat/fat free/low sodium) soups and sandwiches. I would definitely come back here for a lighter lunch, but at $14+ for a you pick two (1/2 sandwich, salad, and soup), I'd consider other options.
I like Panera bread in general. However, these days I'm noticing serving portions are reduced and that makes me feel not worth the money. We tried : Asian sesame Chicken salad : Taste is good , for me it was too much dressing. May be next time I should request dressing on the side. This is very basic salad (with no fancy grains ) and for the price I wish to have more portion. Tomato Soup: This always works for me. !! Mac and cheese: This is very comforting and cozy. All goodness. Chicken BLT: Warm and filling. This place is big with plenty of seating. We ordered from Kiosk, and can easily track order from screen. There was no table service as such. Overall, Food is good but bit pricey for this self serve type of food chain restaurant.
Unpopular opinion, but Panera is delicious. I know it's overpriced, but something keeps drawing me back. I used to go to the San Jose and Cupertino locations when I lived in the South Bay. Now that I live in San Leandro, Hayward is closest to me. I hadn't been to Panera in over a year until I received an email from them with a $10 off coupon. I always do the "You Pick Two" since I like a little bit of everything. I always order the Asian sesame chicken salad. It's soooo good! Unfortunately, my salad portion at this location was so small. The whole container was not filled. For my second entree, I ordered chicken and wild rice soup. I've ordered this before, and it's usually good, but it was a very thick chowder consistency this time. There are some things to be aware of about this location. All locations I've been to you just pick up the food from the shelf for online orders. At this location, you have to ask someone, and they will get it for you behind the counter. Also they do not provide cups near the fountain drinks for water.
During our visits to various Panera Bread locations, we have noticed some changes throughout the overall process which is a mixed bag to be quite honest. During our most recent visit to the Hayward location near Southland Mall, staff are always kind, welcoming and very helpful. I've noticed the value is a hit or miss, and the wait time for our order at this location was about 15 minutes from the time we placed our order. Those that are in a hurry may find this inconvenient but again, it was during the lunch hour. Quality of the food was spot on though they no longer take certain modifications on a few entrees, possibly to keep costs down and prevent backup within the kitchen. It's always a nice vibe, the place was clean, and the restaurant was packed on arrival. I'd definitely visit again and would recommend this location.
I come to this Panera Bread about once a week since I work nearby. They claim to be one of the busiest Paneras in the Bay Area. It does get crowded during lunch or busy mornings, but service is usually quick. Staff are always friendly and helpful. I'm part of the Sip Club. You get free drinks that you can renew every couple of hours, along with regular promotions like $1 off bagels, $2 off breakfast items, or 25 percent off entrees. Great deal! Food here leans healthier. I like the cranberry walnut chicken salad sandwich and the everything bagel. Their broccoli cheddar soup with a baguette is also a favorite. The avocado toast is also tasty. Their bakery is just okay. The bagels are made in-house and are probably the best part. Other recommended bagels are the asiago cheese or cinnamon crunch. The honey walnut cream cheese is a great topping but if I'm feeling cheap one of my go-to hacks is getting a buttered bagel and adding the free honey from the coffee area. Other pastries like the kitchen sink cookie or almond croissant are just average. The pecan bread is fine but nothing special. Overall low to mid tier bakery imo. Their salads and sandwiches are solid. Prices are probably a bit higher than Subway especially when taken into account the portion size, but the food tastes better and feels healthier. They offer a good variety of coffee add-ins like almond milk, 2 percent milk, and half and half. Overall, a solid spot for a quick and healthier meal with friendly staff, lots of parking, and a relaxing outdoor space.
Walked in looked around for a Bakery display, looked like a gas station kiosk. Over priced, will not be returning.
Disappointed that the Panera in Alameda has closed making this location the closest location for me. This location is located in the Southland Mall off W. Winton Ave. Since I was in the area, I decided to redeem my rewards program item, a beverage and I decided to pick up my favorite Kitchen Sink cookie. I arrived around 1pm and the lot surrounding Panera was full and I found a space in the area in front of the building next to it. I ordered through the app and in about five minutes it said my order was ready. I went in the restaurant towards the order pickup area and picked up my order. The restaurant was quite busy inside as many patrons were dining and some were eating at the tables outside as well. The order process and pickup process was smooth and easy. I'll be back in the future if I'm in the area for another cookie and hopefully another rewards perk.
Hadn't been here in years, was in the neighborhood and decided to give it a shot. I guess my first mistake was it was about 40 minutes before closing. Ordered online and got the Philly cheese steak, they claimed to be out of ciabatta bread so I settled for French roll. Order was ready within 15 minutes, walked in picked it up, restaurant did look a little dirty all be it end of day. Took off and got home to find nothing but disappointment in my sandwich. After paying $18 I would expect just a little more. I'm not a complainer but I could not let this one go, called the restaurant spoke to the manager and was immediately refunded, which was the only good thing that came out of the restaurant. I must say I will NOT be going back, unacceptable that you charge these kind of prices for measured out meat and bread.

This is my go to place to work, study, and enjoy a meal by myself. The staff has been consistently great every time I have visited in the past two years. All the reviews are very old and knock off stars for things the staff cannot control which is unfair. This is the best panera I have been to. I don't go to the Fremont and Union City because I know this Hayward one is by far the best for seating and overall experience. The music is played at a good volume you can work, hear people chatter, and its always good vibes. 5/5 best Panera around. Keep up the good work to who ever is managing this place as each staff member on the team is pleasant and happy at work. They genuinely seem like they are happy to be working here. read more

Best Panera experience I've had! Their new Cherry Lime Fresca was refreshing and You-Pick-Two deal is always my go to. My group came during peak lunch hour and it was packed, service was quick regardless. Plenty of seating inside and outside. All Panera's have the option to make staff aware of food allergies, but normally they aren't taken seriously (especially other Bay Area locations). This location put in effort to make sure the meals were prepped safely and the same meal I've ordered at other Panera's came out way better quality here. Great location! read more

Food 3/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 3/5 Customer Service is priority number one and Estrella who took our order was exceptional. She was patient, knew the menu and answered all questions I had. It's been a looonnnng time since I've eaten at Panera Bread. While eating she came to our table to let us know they were giving away one free cookie to guests which I found very thoughtful. I chose some lemon type cookie to give my son. I ordered half/half chicken Fiji apple salad & tomato soup with a side of chips. I ate 90% of the soup, a few bites of salad and no chips. Took the rest to go. The person I was with ordered half/half also. Deli turkey sandwich & the famous Mac n cheese, side of bread. He finished all his food. We both enjoyed our meals. Nothing super special but good. read more

My rating for Panera just JUMPED to FIVE STARS! They have an Angel Tree for giving special gifts to those in need. Read the flyer, choose your recipient & bring the item back to Panera. They will wrap & deliver the gifts! Be a blessing, if you can afford Panera try paying a little blessing forward the Season! Kudos Panera! read more
Stopped by here for lunch on Sunday. This Panera is located in the plaza next to Southland Mall. There is plenty of parking in the area. There's plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating, with the outdoor seats having the option of being under a roof or not. When you go in, you can either order with the cashier or use their tablets. We opted to use the tablets as it gave us time to peruse the menu. Husband and I ended up ordering the Take Two. I ordered French Onion Soup and BBQ Chicken Salad while my husband got the Broccoli Mac & Cheese and half a sandwich. Once you order, you are able to seat yourself and wait for your order to be ready and called at the pick-up area. The food was good; what I would expect from Panera and other similar restaurant. The ingredients were fresh as well. My only gripe is that it wasn't busy at all when we went, but the dining area was a mess. We ended up having to clean a table for ourselves to sit at. I saw an employee "trying" to clean but would take one plate at a time and never completely cleaned an area before moving on to the next. read more

This is a solid Panera. It's been about three years since I've visited one (my local Panera has been shuttered... RIP), and not much has changed besides the way the food is distributed. I arrived at around 10 am and was excited to try their spicy chicken sandwich. Fortunately, they let me know they could make lunch items in the morning besides the soup. My food was prepared within about 10 minutes. Instead of bringing the food to your table, they call out the order for you to come grab it. I've heard people say Panera's chicken sandwich is a contender in the Chicken Sandwich Wars, but I think it's in its own category. It's like a healthy take on spicy chicken because you don't feel gross after eating it. However, it's also not breaded and deep-fried, so it's not the most satisfying chicken sandwich, but it'll do. The chicken was thick and tender at least. I ended up staying at Panera for a few hours, so I ordered a proper lunch later on through the app. I love how you can easily customize orders on the app... my "Greek" salad ended up being an amalgamation of that plus the green goddess salad (sans protein). In addition, I got a bowl of chicken noodle soup, but the portion doesn't look too diff from a cup (just the serving vessel is diff). This meal met my expectations of what I've come to know and like at Panera. Also, I'm a big fan of the lemonades and how it's basically unlimited refills. Glad I swung by Panera on that particular Saturday morning! read more
So, this is the second time ever I've been to Panera. The first time was about 8 years ago and I didn't really like it. Well I ordered online because I had some gift cards and was hungry for sandwiches. When I got there, it was ready. Score! I just peeked in the bag and it looked like everything was in there so I left since I didn't want to food to get cold (I had people to feed). When I got home, one item was missing! What do I do? We all started digging in and I surely didn't want to drive back. They were really busy on this Saturday afternoon. I called customer service and they offered a gift card for the troubles, but I've yet to receive it through email. Anyway, to the food. We ordered: -Pepperoni flatbread pizza - meh 2/5 not great -Spicy chicken sandwich -3/5 not bad but could be much better. -steak and cheese sandwich - 4/5 The best one. I recommend it to all my steak lovers. -Mac and cheese - ? I don't know because they forgot it We also got chips on the side, which were ok. read more

How is the wifi connection, and are there power outlets to plug in?
WiFi is fine there and I never noticed plugs but I have seen folks with laptops there. You cannot go inside right now, only pick up and go.
