Yummy! The food here is pretty good. I've had a couple disappointing experiences though; soggy bread, veggies not as fresh as they could be, missing items. Make sure you double check your bag! I've left with missing items or they gave me the wrong sides. I love the kettle corn chips. Those are so crunchy and delicious! I don't care for the French baguette. It's usually dry and bland-tasting. I do know that some people enjoy it. To each their own. Anyway, I've asked for chips and got home with French baguettes instead and I was upset lol Today, I got home and was missing the side of basil pesto spread for my sandwich. I was so bummed. My Mediterranean veggie sandwich was dry and lackluster without the basil pesto sauce. Sadness for me. My salad was very fresh. I can't complain on that. I received the salad dressing and fork for that. I should have double checked my bag, but I trusted that they got it right and paid the price lol Ambiance wasn't even busy. How did they miss my basil pesto spread? read more

This place had dumpster that damaged my husbands car and the restaurant is responsible and the store and owner did nothing to help us. Super lame bc they admitted this is a know issue. The dumpster gate swung open and is not properly held and is short enough if you park next to it and don't realize it will mess up your car. Staff were completely not helpful bc it was told to us that they are responsible bc it's their dumpster . read more

This was an unplanned stop but it turned out well for a decent lite meal. Panera Bread continues to serve quality food. The restaurant was quiet with few customers this helps when you want a relaxed meal. I do recommend this restaurant and will continue to support the restaurant. read more

Had a horrible experience with the quality of the food here today! Ordered half a dozen bagels and my cinnamon crunch bagels were burnt!!! Practically black underneath. Not to mention my other bagels were super pale as if they weren't even baked properly!!! The stuffer I had ordered as well had half of the salad practically spilled out of the loaf in its packaging!! read more

I went a month ago or so and felt like dropping a review on how kind the customer service is here on multiple visits. They're very kind, especially the shift that works around 7pm. Food is done well and consistent, they keep a clean place, and it's usually quiet which I enjoy. read more

Very good place to relax and enjoy a sandwich the manger Vince is so nice and helpful

Burnt. They shouldn't give this to drive thru customers. Didn't open till I got Home. Don't Trust Panera. Declining Quality Over the Years. read more

I don't think I've ever been to this Panera location, because it was very pretty hidden in this Lake Elsinore area, all I can say is the place were well kept, everything setup nicely organized and tidy, cleaned thru and thru. Has outdoor seatings and a drive thru, and the most important part is the vanilla syrup bottle is presented at the coffee station. I don't remember if they had Dr Pepper fountain drink at other locations, but this one does have it as an option if you got tired of Pepsi. Trying to get away from the heat of the area, so come inside here and enjoy some AC and stay for awhile read more

Came to Panera for lunch today and wanted wheat bread with my pick two! This is a bread, bakery with No whole wheat bread! Very disappointing! read more

Placed a order in the app. Received my sandwich with a hair inside that made me gag. My husband couldn't even finish his food once he saw the hair. The GM Vincent who's not there would not allow for a refund to be made in his absence. This is appalling and beyond even a subpar performance and quality. I will not be back period except to collect my refund which I have to now drive there for on Friday (today is Tuesday). Quality and customer service is in the negative. If you're in the area just don't go, period! read more

Spectacular service Shannon was an excellent worker that helped and explained the meals perfectly to me and my family very polite and friendly and helpful the Green tea is our favorite and the new meals perfect just like Shannon told us read more

This is my favorite Panera. The drive through always gets my order perfect and they are so friendly. The food is great but expensive.

That bad experience never happened again, service has been quick and nice, the food is always correct, a good location.

I want to like this place but really? Is lettuce that expensive? Seems like they are getting cheaper and cheaper with the food but the prices are expensive. I said this is the size of the Greek salad? Yup read more

Ordered the duet ham sandwich and chicken noodle soup from the drive thru. What should've been a quick order took over 20 minutes of waiting. When I asked why there was a delay, I didn't get answer. I don't understand why there's never a sense of urgency at this place. Today took the cake though. I would've went elsewhere but I was stuck in the drive thru line. Ambiance irrelevant. I like Panera's food but I don't go often because I know the deal with the people who work there. Slow service. read more

Ordered food online and picked it up at the drive-thru. Easy, fast, and efficient. Ordered 2 value duet meals. The first one was the napa almond chicken sandwich and wild rice soup. The second one was the smokehouse bbq chicken sandwich and tomato soup with a side of chips and macaroni. We got everything we ordered. Yes, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the sour dough bread with the napa almond chicken filling was refreshing and light. The "special dressing" is mayo-based, nothing fancy. The wild rice soup was hearty and filling. Good dipping for the baguette. I can't comment on the second order because my husband ate that. He said it was "good." read more

Ordered the poppyseed strawberry salad then was called to the window and told there was no strawberry's? Really on a Monday 1st lunch of the week and no strawberry's couldn't they tell me this when I was ordering, signature salad and out of the main ingredient on a monday? read more

This place is just sad. Tried to use the kiosks in the front, wouldn't take my Apple Pay or cc. Said they were out of chocolate chip cookies at the kiosk but they had tons behind the counter. Had to get in line after trying to use them with no success, only to then be behind 4 people. Told the manager my chocolate chip cookie seemed old, and could I switch it for the fresh batch that came out. Instead of just switching them, he assured me they're all made the same, and fresh. When I knocked the cookie on a hard surface he said he'd grab me a new one, and brought me back another bagged one instead of a fresh one. Bizarre. Finally got my Frontega Chicken, which I was excited out. Well, see picture below. No field greens, no onions, and barely any meat. I hardly enjoyed my sad toasted bread with a single onion on it. Dare I say this has turned me off of Panera forever? read more

Friendly but ridiculously slow service. I placed an order for pick up an hour in advance, came to pick up my food and still waited nearly 15 minutes after the scheduled pick up time read more

1st time trying it . I thought I would and try and eat better food than just normal fast food . Signed into app and join the rewards program . Ordered some food for a early dinner on my way home from work. ordered a nice sandwich (chicken salad w/apples) $13+ with a salad cup of chili and a fruit cup for joining I was to get a cookie for free, so I ordered a Rasin oatmeal cookie & a tea. they said 10.19 would be ready for p/u got a message that it was going to take longer so I waited till 10.35 to go thru the drive thru. waited 15 mins in drive thru got to the window and she gave me a big bag and my iced tea and said the straw was inside the bag. When I got home I put the whole bag in the fridge for later and took a nap When I got up and started to get ready for my dinner No sandwich in the bag everything else but the main dish the total bill was $33.49 so 1/2 the bill but no food , I didn't think I had to check my order when you're paying this amount for food . I got a email with a survey on my order and I did let them know what happen I got a response from a manager That stated Hello Mike, we apologize for your bad experience, we will follow up with our team regarding these issues. Thanks again for your feedback and your business, Mike. I hope to see you soon! Vincent King General Manager Panera Bread I wanted to respond to it with I am sure you would love to see me again or anybody else that would pay for food and not get it it makes your profit a lot better. I did say try and look on camera's if you have them and see what happen to the sandwich where it went or who got it and maybe let me know if I have any chance of getting my $$ back or food I paid for. I have not heard a thing back and it sounds like it no big deal read more

I like the soups here and always have. They messed up my hubby's order and made it right and threw in an extra cookie (his fave) without even asking (!). The bread is hot and warm and the sandwiches (especially the chicken) are perfect in any kind of weather. Love it and will keep loving it! read more

We tried to order a latte and an orange vanilla scone, when we went to the window after ordering to pay. She said they didn't have the orange scone so she offered us any other treat. I thought that was very nice and we got a bear claw. Then she came back and said the latte machine wasn't working so if we wanted a refund or something else. We opted for the refund as my daughter wanted a latte. I wanted to Thank the window clerk for being so nice and helping us choose another delicious treat. Vincent came to provide the refund and then she walked up with an orange scone! Thank you for looking in the back and getting us a fresh baked orange scone. The latte didn't work out but your excellent customer service did. read more

Ive never written a bad review but this is ridiculous, every time I come whether the line is long or not the wait time is over 10 minutes, and it seems like there is one 1person working in the back. I have yet to have an experience where the wait time is less than 15 minutes, and all that was ordered was a bagel. read more

I have been to Panera many times but never to this location. I used the drive thru today. I had a wait a while (no big deal) I'm unsure if the trigger in the drive through works properly or not because I was the only one in the drive thru line. The girl apologized profusely. She was super sweet. I ordered a chicken Asian salad. My order came quickly and it was delicious. That's all you really want. In and out quickly with the the right order. Nothing was missed. read more

We order online from this location a lot and they NEVER get our order right ! I paid extra from bacon on my husband's grilled cheese and just like always they didn't put the bacon on it ! I can't even tell you how many times I've gotten home and discovered that I'm missing an item too ! Worst Panera ever! They even have their little check sheet on their receipt but they clearly don't really check they just mark it off ! read more

Often busy, and a family favorite. For its pricey menu, I still need to double-check my order when I receive it via drive-they die to errors each visit. Recent dining favorites are their green juice smoothies, chicken salad sandwich, a French onion soup and their cinnamon toast-like bagel with the honey walnut cream cheese. read more

I just want to thank the girl that came out and asked if everything was okay. She seen I was struggling with my toddler to eat his Mac n cheese and I told her he won't eat it cause it too watery . She asked him if he wanted a grilled cheese and he said with a crabby patty, so she says I'm sorry honey we don't have crappy patty's but I'm sure sponge bob will be happy to make you a grilled cheese he was so excited she hyped it up said he was in the back with Patrick and Mr crabs ! She came out and he was so happy and finally ate his food. Thank you so much ! I wish I remembered your name but you have no idea the sense of relief I felt ! Thank you a million times over ! You are a beautiful soul ! Stay great ! read more
