The person "Joey" cashed me out. He's very unprofessional, has an attitude anytime you ask him for extra things. I've had multiple interactions all unpleasant, and I wasn't sure if he's an employee. He's the only one behind the register, not in a uniform in regular street clothes every time. If there was a different one on my commute, I would stop there instead of this location just because of him. read more

This is for the Asian chicken salad that has returned to the menu! Delicious! The tomato basil soup is always good too with a grilled cheese half sandwich is my go-to during the Fall and winter months. read more

Came here for the first time because my boss gave me gift cards. I ordered the 2 item deal. I got the Mac & Cheese and a half sandwich. The food was tasty and was quick to be made. It's been some years since I last came and it was pretty pricey but that goes for many food establishments since the pandemic. Glad I had gift cards. read more

This place messes up constantly. Multiple times our Togo order is missing items, even after waiting forever. I called to get a refund and their manager states she will refund. Then i get a call back that because it's in the drive thru that i have to come back in person to get a refund. Ridiculous. read more

Just ok. Didn't have high expectations for this Panera. I was just excited to potentially have fresh-ish food in as fast drivethru fashion. I ordered a pesto chicken sandwich and it was dry. Even the mayo was spread lightly which would have made it taste better imo. The drink cup wasnt fully filled and the lemonade tasted watered down. The visit was around 4pm so I'm not sure if the lunch rush got all the good stuff. I'll try it again one day but for a likely better and consistent chicken sandwich, I'll go somewhere else. read more

It's the first time I tried a turkey sandwich and I found it very delicious. I hope to come back soon

I realize ordering on kiosks is the wave of the future, but when I asked to order person-to-person the worker quite rudely indicated it would be a while because she had to bag bagels. Nobody was in the store. The chubby Latina could have quickly taken my order. Instead, she reminded me why I will never come back. read more

My sandwich was awful was not what I ordered. The bread was falling apart. There was cheese I didn't order. It was not a good sandwich. Will not buy from them again. Also I have ordered the apple salad with no cheese and 2 times it came with cheese. You would think by now I would expect lousy service. read more

The overall layout of the pickup and dining areas is really terrible. If you want to use the kiosk to order, they are located in the dining area right beside dining tables. The kiosk ordering process is cumbersome and confusing to say the least. The dining area tables and floor were dirty. Where you pick up your meal is hidden behind a wall with a sign board to show your name. But it's pretty much hidden, so you must move to a place where you can see that board. There were a large number of people occupying tables that were not dining here.. they were all utilizing the free wifi...and using their own cups to take the coffee and/or soda...someone needs to manage this activity. Even if you can overlook the physical issues of this place, the food itself was really NOT good. Too much bread, minimal amount of protein (meat or chicken), and just flavorless. I promise myself never to come close to a Panera again. read more

Usually they're nice here, the curly haired woman at the drive thru window was very nice but the woman inside at 6pm 04/15/2025 was extremely rude. I ordered a steak sandwhich whole, and the drive through lady asked if chips was okay, I said can I have the baguette (since that IS an option as stated on menu). She said sure. Once I get the food I drive off and noticed right away they gave me chips. Since I'm still literally a few feet away I go inside, I say excuse may I have the baguette instead of chips I asked for it. You can tell she wanted to say no, she goes "umm it's going to take a min there in the oven , one moment " literally 10 seconds later she goes here you. I say thanks and hand her the UNOPENED chips, she looks at me in dingust and rudely says we can't take those back. I say oh, okay thank you then, she says NOTHING back. Like hella rude bro. I could see if I was rude or something. This is how you lose a regular customer. God forbid I want would I paid for. Expensive too. I just noticed the other recent review about the kiosks is about the same woman.. i didn't want to describe her that way but that's definitely the same woman. I hope corporate or the store manager see's this. She is very rude to customers. read more

My Saturday early evening visit poor. poor poor poor poor the drive though is so long . why don't you park the cars and take their order to their car!!!! Had to go inside restaurant to get hot coffee. Mine was cold to lukewarm, their response was, "there a microwave', we normally do not make coffee at this time (6pm??!!) read more

While I enjoy Panera food, quality of service in drive thru and pick up has diminished. Very slow in the drive thru for 2-4 cars. 20 min. Wait prior to 12pm. Not the first time this year. Pick up has been tried as well prior to 12pm thinking it would be faster or ready at time chosen. Food is no longer in Cubby's to pick up, you have to wait until someone give you time of day to hand you food. Sad and disappointed when on a time crunch lunch period. read more

2nd time in a row that we've placed a to-go order on the app for French Onion Soup with absolutely no cheese included - despite their "it should be in there" claims. They don't care whether or not you get what you've overpaid for. DON'T BOTHER!! read more

Probably the worst feeling is when you go somewhere and feel like they don't want your business. I came in and offered a salad and said I like extra dressing and asked for six extra (which I always do because their little dressing containers are always like 1/4 full) and she said I'm not going to give you that many. And I said ok never mind and walked out. I literally was fine paying I would have paid an extra $3.00 but she was like mad. I'll never go back. read more

Very poor customer service. I go to many different Panera restaurants - Tracy, Fremont, Livermore and when I order the French baguette they have to problem toasting it. But it seems to be a very difficult ask here in Manteca, they refused to toast it saying they don't that in this location. When I asked how they warm up thier breads they said they have an oven - so really they can do it but lack of customer centric approach meant the y refused to do it read more

This visit was a let down. The service was not good. When I walked up I was not greeted and when I picked up food I said thank u and was not acknowledged so than I said have a great day and still no acknowledgment. The cleanliness was just so so on dinning area and terrible in bathroom. Almost couldn't wash my hands. Looked like the toilets sink and urinal hadn't been cleaned in days. read more

Highly upset, yesterday evening I ordered 2 bowls of broccoli cheddar soup to go... to my dismay the soup was watered down..The following day 9-24-25, I returned to the store and spoked with the manager regarding this matter who was so rude about the ordeal. I have been a regular customer for some time dealing with the mixed up of orders and other things but this is the straw that broke the camels back I will NEVER go back there again. I will rate them 0...Beware of watered down soups.. read more

So, just curious....WHO IS RUNNING THE S**T SHOW HERE????!!!! How can you NOT have sourdough bread...ITS IN YOUR NAME!!!!! We USE to go here, especially on rainy days, to get soup and a baguette, one time, "we're out of sourdough bread" um ok....2nd time, "we're out of sourdough bread" geeesh, you were out last time, sigh ok....THIRD TIME, was pouring ALL DAY, soup sounds good...."we're out o....." WTH???!!!! It's 6:00, DINNER TIME....OH, and not saying ANYTHING till I get to the window because NOW, the sandwich I ordered, you guessed it...NO SOURDOUGH. When asked about why PANERA "BREAD" has no sourdough, what time do you guys run out????? "We usually run out by early afternoon".......sooooo, just enough for lunch and that's it??????? I AM NOT going there at 1PM, just so I'll have a damn baguette for my soup FOR DINNER!!! Sad, we like Paneras food but it's not worth the "hit and miss" everytime I go there...I'll try back in a YEAR!!! read more

We waited in the drive-through 10-15 minutes with only two cars in front of us. Finally get our food, and they forgot to put my chips in the bag yet they charge me for it anyway. I felt the price was high considering what we got (my fault I should've known better). Yet another reminder I should not be going to Panera. read more

This is a great place to grab a yummy salad! I am thinking this is a great low calorie and healthy alternative to other fast food places. Trying to be good as I'm gaining all the covid weight! Ugh!

Located right off the freeway too! read more

I am so over this location. Manteca on Yosemite. Twice in a row I ordered on the app to go. When I got home the sandwich's were so messed up one was not edible. Missing items and soggy. Basically meat dry bread and lots of mixed greens. No cheese or any of the other toppings. Today I took a chance. Ordered a BLT. Take a look at the pictures and you will see what I'm upset about. If you order for take out from here I would check you order before you leave the parking lot. I basically after I re-worked the sandwich I got a half with 4 tiny thin slices of bacon. I just checked the cinnamon roll I got as well. So dry it's literally hard to pull apart and frosting is cracking and all falling all over. read more

First, I want to share out that I think Panera has good food , and that is why I eat there sometimes . Recently , I was in Manteca , and went through the Drive thru to get lunch - it was 1:00pm ,and there were only 4 cars ahead of me . The drive thru was extremely slow . I ordered 2 sandwiches one turkey & cheddar with everything on it & one turkey & cheddar sandwich plain with lettuce only : a simple order. The cost of my order $23.58 ( a bit pricey too ) The whole drive thru order process took me 40 minutes to get to the pick up window where I continued to wait & wait for my food! I mentioned to the staff that the drive through service was really slow - their response was oh we are busy ! Really ? This is a fast food place at lunch time . Then, after the very long wait I drive away & go visit my father to have lunch with him - only to find out that my order was wrong! I had 2 sandwiches with everything on them. Just Bad! So, I called the Manteca Panera manager , and she kinda said sorry & she also said there was nothing she could do about it & that yes the drive thru line is very busy . There was Absolutely No customer service! The whole experience was bad & rude. I will not eat at this Panera location again. read more

Well, I guess it's called Panera BREAD for a reason. The sandwiches are extremely expensive and they are 95% bread. The filling is practically non existent. We ordered three sandwiches and they all came that way. Pick a lane. Either A. Keep your pricing as is but actually fill the sandwiches properly or B. Keep these the way they are and cut the prices SIGNIFICANTLY. If you go with option B your new marketing campaign can be "normal prices and we promise your sandwiches will always have SOME bits of meat inside of them!" Take a look at these photos and see for yourself. Wish I had taken more from side because that's when you really see how pathetic this is. One last marketing suggestion this time regarding the graphic design for the "Panera bread" logo: make it look like a huge sandwich seen from a side angle. Make the word "bread" huge in massive pillowy letters and put the word "Panera" in the middle of it but so small and thin than you can hardly see it. I will provide a few examples you can share with the Panera BREAD C-suite here shortly. Possibly consider this logo as something to use as a bridge towards a complete rebranding, losing the "Panera" part all together and changing the name to just: "BREAD" read more

"Fast lane" kiosks out of order and then had to wait at an empty counter for at least 2 minutes before someone took my order. I could see someone counting paper plates or something with no effort to acknowledge I was standing at the registers. Someone finally took my order, and it felt like it took forever even though I knew exactly what I wanted. I'm glad I asked for a receipt because while I was w a i t i n g for my order I finally asked about an update when I saw someone and she asked if I had my order which I saved my receipt so voila! And she was kind enough to tell me to look around the corner on the pick up shelf. Would've been nice to know. read more
