Blown away at how bad the food is and How much they charge for it. -Grilled Mac and cheese sandwich, decent but nothing I'd go back for -Chipotle chicken sandwich, chicken was mushy, bread was soggy -chili, absolutely terrible, barely any meat or beans, way over spiced with cumin. It's equivalent to gas station food and canned Hormel chili Zero chance I'll go back read more

The food is not worth the price at all. You get sub par quality and they give you such small portions. This was my first and last time eating here. read more

They have redeemed themselves with their southwest chili lime chicken salad. Loaded with toppings, delicious, and big enough for 2 meals and the price is just right. It's got so much flavor and the chicken actually has seasoning on it unlike some basic salads you get other places. Service is always great here... I'm happy once again! read more

I've been coming to this Panera for many years, always just dropping by for bagels or small little treats. I am floored by their Tomato Basil Loaf. I came just to pick up a reward breakfast sandwich and I could not resist the gorgeousness of the Tomato Basil Loaf resting on the top rack. It is so unique in flavor with a cinnamon sugar crumble on top, nice and soft on the inside and a beautiful crust on the outside, only $5.79! The Steak and Egg Everything Bagel sandwich was pretty amazing. The steak was not overcooked and tough, but was tender. The steak, eggs and cheese paired so well with the Everything Bagel. I only wished it had a bit more cheese. Well done, for a chain restaurant! read more

This really is the worst Panera Bread. I've been to Pico Rivera too. That one has ripped booths! The wifi never works here. I've had to leave on account of it not functioning. One time it was just slow. I ordered a Green Goddess salad. Paid extra for chicken and chopped bacon. Both were skimped on. The latte was also pure coffee. So more like an iced coffee. The manager hires incompetent workers who can't simply throw bacon bits on a salad in the right proportions. Bad Panera. Go to Pasadena or Glendale if you want a good experience. Both have good employees and put care into preparing the food. The wifi also works. read more

Been going here for years as the kids enjoyed the grilled cheese sandwiches and macaroni and cheese. The value and quality seem to have gone downhill significantly. Here's the latest example of a grilled cheese sandwich. I think we are done. read more

They're not all that great managers are disrespectful ‍ they don't know how to run a store and I saw a girl serve another customer with dirty gloves ... she was cleaning and started preparing food with the same ones that's disgusting.... they treat their employees like shit too and one of the managers Albert is a total jerk . read more

For the second time I have gone in to get a bagel. I like the cinnamon crunch bagel. I asked for it to be toasted. What I get is a cinnamon crunch bagel that tastes like an everything bagel. The manager blames it on toaster interference. I blame it on poor cleaning and cross contamination. Never again. read more

Panera Bread - I don't believe a cinnamon crunch bagel should have seeds. - Sandwiches Near Me - La Canada Flintridge, California

This location has fallen off horribly. They are consistently out of main menu items (no soup for an entire week, no soda for an entire week, no bagels at 8am on a Saturday). They let you order out of stock items on the app and then don't say anything about the error until you arrive to pick up the item. They've consistently forgotten major components of my order that I paid for (e.g., no bacon on a bacon egg and cheese sandwich). When I call to report the issue, they never pick up the phone, even during non-peak hours. Find a more reliable location. read more

Ordered bagels and scones for my office . Ordered it night before and order was ready and waiting at 630 am Excellent service and foood. Very happy with their online service too Will definitely be back read more

I would like to be able to write a review of the food, but I just couldn't order after having stopped in the ladies room first to wash my hands. How can a business that sells food get an A rating in sanitation with a bathroom as dirty as Panera's. This wasn't from the morning. This was from days, weeks, long time stains. There was almost no soap, no paper towels and i wouldn't even touch the faucet handles. I wrote another couple of graphs in detail but erased them. I grossed myself out. If the business doesn't take care of the front end of the facility, I can't imagine what happens in the kitchen. I drank my coffee and left. read more

Every time I order the same breakfast sandwich and it comes out in different ways(burned,with missed ingredients, halt egg)The employees are not able to read the order from the screen. The place is very dirty. The manager and Vietnamese lady do not wear a head cover but they serve the food. The manager works as a cashier and the same time serve pastry, food with bare hands. read more

A group met there this AM and allowed us to bring in a custom birthday cake. And a special shout out to Lev behind the counter for being extra accommodating. Coffee is great, so nice to have this option in our neighborhood. Will be back soon. read more

I order iced coffee from this place quite often and never had any issues with my orders! I usually do the online order for pickup and every time it's ready for me to pick up within 5 min of placing the order. Due to pandemic you can't stay inside the store but they do have a couple of tables available for outdoor seating. read more

Check your order before you leave. Orders are always missing something. Staff is rude, not friendly, I was trying to get someone's attention and was just ignored. Order says ready on app and had to chase someone down to find my order. Food is good if you don't mind dealing with the inconveniences and attitudes. read more

Food is wonderful but you should have pictures on walls or display posters of the food or on menus for us NON Panera bread eating people who don't know the menu. Brigette at the register needs to get a job not dealing with humans because she's so monotone and so non - informational that it's frustrating. When a customer asks you a question and doesn't get the menu you should describe it or show them a picture and offer knowledge about their food but she was very stiff and robotic. Unhelpful then I got the food and it's not what I expected it to be. read more

Seriously Panera bread. I had to give this place another chance because my BF wants soup and I don't feel like cooking. But this is ridiculous paid 1 dollar for extra croutons and cheese, I asked the lady who is preparing the food, she said that's extra croutons all in one bag, it has 8 pieces of croutons. read more

Great and fast ordering for pick up. They followed my picky daughter's order to the T. It took less than 10minutes for the food to come out and be ready. Actually took me longer to order and decide than it did for them to make the food and have it ready for us. We devoured our food we were so hungry so I didn't get to take a picture. read more

A fairly decent chain food joint. Overly friendly service, perhaps due to corporate policies...Nonetheless, nice and pleasant staff. I did like that they posted the calories in each item on the menu board. Something us Americans should be conscious of, since we are an obese trending nation. I ordered the half strawberry poppy seed chicken salad and half turkey sandwich. I just wanted the half salad, but it wasn't an option...it was either a full salad or half salad and half sandwich. The salad was refreshing with strawberries and blueberries. I never got a chance to taste my sandwich because I was full. My little combo with a french baguette (crispy outside with chewy center..yum yum) was about $12. A little expensive for a "fast food" place, but it has fresh delicious food and the pastries looked tempting. Per Anthony N, I will need to return to try the mac & cheese. Overall, pricey and too cooperate-ish, but decent food. read more

What a RIIIIPPPPPP! For two rather small sandwiches, two drinks, a bowl of soup and one muffin our total came to $27 bucks!! Ummm, ok...I've paid a LOT more for a LOT less food and done so HAPPILY...but the food's gotta be worth it...and Panera certainly isn't, in my book at least.... I was torn between the Tuna Salad Sandwich, The Veggie Panini or the Tomato Mozzarella and the guy who took my order actually recommended the Tomato Mozzarella, mentioning that it was one of their most popular dishes. So, that's what I got and was kinda excited to bite into that cheesy, warm sandwich! When the sandwich came, however.....it had two slices of tomatoes, two papppper thin slices of mozzarella, each the size of a half dollar, two sun dried tomatoes and slivers of fresh basil, sandwiched between two thick pieces of ciabatta bread....so disappointing I can't tell you...I felt like I was eating a plain tomato sandwich...EPIC FAIL! The broccoli cheddar soup was actually pretty tasty but...#1 we didn't order it in a bread bowl, we ordered it in a regular bowl but arrived in a bread bowl (but fine...we looked the other way) and #2, when we got to the bottom of the bowl, we realized that HALF the bowl was still filled with bread and there was maybe an inch and a half of soup in the bowl, we were blown away! But still didn't say anything... The only reason I'm giving this place a 2 star rating is because the guy behind the counter who took my order was super duper nice and helpful and for the Cobbestone Sweet Roll, which is a cinnamon raisin roll mixed with chunks of apples and spices, topped with streusel and white icing...pretty dannng good...but I doubt I'll be back to Panera Bread again....sorry! :-/ read more

Reduced their hours of operation without updating their online store on Panera.com , google , Yelp, or even updating the hours on their store voicemail. Upon arriving at 8:20pm you are greeted by a printout taped to the door beside their normal hours (9pm close). They wasted my time and others in the community by taking the least amount of effort to update their info. I'll take my business elsewhere for dinner. read more

I came here so many times to study. It gets a little loud during lunch hours, but I just put on my noise cancelling headphones, and I'm good. I'm obsessed with their Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich. I tried a few of their other sandwiches and paninis, and I have to say that Napa Almond is the best. It tastes light and fresh, and doesn't give me that bloated feeling at the end. Love it! I've tried their drinks (mango smoothie, green tea), and they were a huge disappointment. The mango smoothie was like a lackluster wannabe boba drink and their green tea had this weird sweetener added to it that made me throw it away after a few sips. Stick to the Napa Almond and you'll be fine! :) read more

I need to stop coming here. When is the denial going to fade? Food here is underwhelming and tasteless. I ain't coming back here. If you have to stuff your food with condiments for it to taste decent, we got a problem! For heavens sake woman, stop coming here! read more

This location is near one of my work sites. Friendly service and always quite busy. That's a good thing. Same good tasting food as my other fav location. Parking is good and there is always lots of pastry available. read more

Why don't they have more Panera bread locations? There are only 2 that I go to because those are the closest to nela but these are still out of my way most of the time. The service is kinda bad. They're quick but I can tell something is going on behind the scenes. The other Panera bread in Pasadena has workers who are friendly and welcoming. I have a feeling it's the management. The first time I came I asked for creamer and the lady who was very gruff handed me a huge milk carton haha. The lady who wears the orange or pink long sleeve Panera shirt who must be the manager is not good. She kinda shouts at you and is very gruff. I only go here bc it's the location that happens to be around areas that I frequent. My bagel was cold, didn't seem like they toasted it. And I have to go to great lengths to get peoples attention. Managment needs to get their act together. read more

This location dilute water into coffee to save some$$. I've been a loyal customer of Panera Bread and been to 10+ other locations not a single location had this problem. Seems like manager or owner is not following manual of Panera Bread and adding lots of water. Color is very light and taste like you brewed 3 beans into the coffee. Why would you do that? read more

Look, I don't know when this Panera Bread has their ingredients delivered, but try not to go Sunday night. They had no bread bowls, no soup, no coffee (either from the tubs accessible to customers or from the cappuccino machine they have in the back) it was kinda funny lmao. I ordered a regular coffee and the tubs were empty. After a bit, though, I saw them replace the giant hazelnut coffee jug with a fresh one, so I get up to get coffee. I swear to god, I don't know what went wrong but that coffee came out looking like river water; hardly coffee at all. Anyways I'm just sad because everything my sister ordered had to be refunded! I went to vons after and got her a sourdough loaf and some soup there and we made a homemade breadbowl at home haha. Anyways, I'm not saying don't go to this panera. Just don't go on Sunday night. read more

I ordered online - 2 bread bowls, mac n cheese and chicken noodle soup. Everything was all ready when I got there. The only thing I would recommend is that they should staple the bags to 'seal' it. It's seems like anyone could just come up and look into the bag and cough in it. So enclosing it would ensure there wasn't any kind of tampering. read more

Summer:free coffee daily! So great! Thanks, Panera! A great spot and great service to brighten us up during this crazy time.

Avoid the tortellini alfredo with chicken at all cost! It was extremely salty and hard. Terrible and overpriced! The service is up and down. read more

I've been coming here for years although, not often, and today reminds me why. Its a Sat. morning in a mostly breakfast place and you have 1 person at the counter? This is your busiest day/time, don't you care how long people wait? I saw another cashier come out and she went to wipe tables with 8 people in line!...unacceptable. At the register was Destiny, a very polite but brand-new worker and so slow. Help her and your customers! You should be embarrassed to give such awful service. Cathy read more

This place is my secret getaway. Clean, great staff and amazing food. If you haven't tried the Greek Quinoa salad, then what are you waiting for! Thank you Panera! read more

Just a nice time and the cashier was really nice ! The food was really good too. They work hard here

I like to pretend I'm making six figures and come to this Panera Bread. Parking sometimes is a bit of a chore, especially when it's meal time as everyone else is here. But the food is always consistent, seats are easy to come by, service is good, and I get my fix of Panera Bread since Hawaii doesn't have one. Next time I come here, I have to remember to use my designer sunglasses to mix in with the crowd. read more

I asked for 2 grilled cheese sandwiches and they found a way to make it incorrectly. Poorly made and the ingredients not right! I specifically asked for no American cheese because I don't want to die tomorrow from all the garbage that resides in each slice! I'm disgusted! Thank you Trevor! read more

Panera Bread - They tried to kill me today! - Sandwiches Near Me - La Canada Flintridge, California

It took 30 minutes and 3 managers to get a refund to my order. This, because they refused to correct my order that I placed on the Panera app. Then they hung up on me. Then they refused to refund. God help us that corporate cant afford to pay a decent wage for knowledgeable employees read more

This place is going downhill...they've been out of soup for almost a week now. I ordered online and they didn't even bother to reach out to me. The driver had to call me and tell me they were out of soup. So I replaced it with a Cesar salad expecting it to come with chicken like it says on the menu, but nope just lettuce and some Parmesan cheese. ‍ read more

Over the span of a year I have become more and more disappointed with this particular Panera Bread and that of every Panera Bread I have ever visited. First and foremost, the prices that they charge for their food is ludicrous. Now, if they gave generous portions I'd beg to differ, but they don't. I ordered a bowl of chicken noodle soup today for lunch and I was basically given a bowl of chicken broth. Maybe two noodles and three or four pieces of carrot and celery and forget about there being any chicken in it. I just about returned it and walked out for my last time. My mom got the chicken cesar salad, actually, a chicken salad since they decided to put maybe 1/2 a teaspoon of dressing in the salad. This has happened more than once too. Not one time, but every time I have dined here and have gotten the "chicken noodle" soup. More than once when I have been here they have been out of lemon and butter and have not been in any hurry to replenish as well as not been in any hurry to clean any dirty tables. I understand that it gets very busy here, but come on. And there's absolutely no excuse for giving me a bowl of chicken broth when I paid for chicken noodle soup. Other rants that I'd like to make: Sandwiches always come with barely any meat on them. I have gotten chicken sandwiches many times here and there have been two strips of chicken and then tons and tons of lettuce to make up for the fact that they were chintzy with their meat. They chintz out on the mayo, chipotle mayo, or any spread that they put on your sandwiches. You pretty much have to ask for double or triple dressing for the salad. Soup in a bread bowl? Forgetaboutit. More like just bread bowl sans the soup. And last but not least, if you EVER ask for anything special with your food, you might wanna think twice. Cashiers and employees here do not listen to anything that you say and do not understand anything that you say.I had to special order my steak salad once and that was nothing more than a disaster. All I said was that I wanted the cheese on the side and the reduction dressing on the side too but to put the regular dressing in my salad. Instead I got all dressings put in my salad and a few chunks of cheese in there too, it looked like the had put the cheese in and then picked it out. I will now take my business elsewhere and seriously, screw the Panera Card. The payoff on that is to spend a butt load of money before you're even eligible for a 99 cent cookie. Sayonara Panera! read more

If you want a place to meet some friends for a snack this is O.K. I agree with Hailey Z.'s review dated 5/11/12, but one good thing about this restaurant is they have plenty of tables and you don't feel like a sardine as you would when going to Starbuck's. PROS: Calories listed on all items. This is a plus for me, so I don't veer off the diet too much. Lots of seating. Good place to meet the friends in a casual environment if you are on the way to the gym and don't feel like dressing to the nines. Free Parking. Close to Sport Chalet, Home Goods, AT&T, Taylors, Sprouts and a bunch of other stores within walking distance. CONS: Management seems to be lacking. Got here first thing in the morning and the one napkin dispenser was completely empty. Had to flag down a chef because the cashiers were too busy. He was kind enough to fill it up. Crumbs all over hell and back. One employee should be assigned to clean-up duty with a little battery operated vacuum cleaner and rags to wipe tables and chairs down. The food isn't anything to write home about. I had an egg sandwich and the bread was soggy. The latte was O.K.. The smoothies looked good and my friends seemed to like them. I should have opted for one of those. I've had the salads and they were horrible. The only thing I liked in the past were their bagels. In conclusion, don't come here with high expectations because you will be disappointed. read more

I was actually happy to see Panera Bread... when my nephew and niece visited me in MI, I took them here a lot and they loved it. They were sad that one wasn't in their town, but when I told them about this location, they were excited and happy. Coffee of choice is Hazelnut! If they are out, then they will refill it right away... or fill up my cup in the back... love their asiago cheese bagel! read more
