Service is very poor. They don't withhold their breakfast times and some employees say some rules, while other employees say completely different rules on modifying sandwiches. We are loyal customers who purchase sandwiches 2+ times per week, but we had enough with the service. Management is not professional and needs to be taught by upper management to serve customers according to company standards. We will be talking to corporate regarding our recent issues. We have never been served so poorly at any Panera as the Manteca Panera. read more

Service is slow at the drive up window. The soup is good but I found a piece of plastic wrap in mine. The turkey BLT was good and huge read more

Do you have a 3 hour lunch break and the desire to spend 85% of it waiting in line?? Then this is the spot for you! Seriously, the food is fine. It's Panera. It feels like a slightly healthier option than fast food but honestly it's the definition of insanity that I keep coming back. It does not matter if there are 2 cars in front of you or 10. The service is beyond inexcusably slow. read more

Since this occurrence I haven't had any contaminated food. They've been much better with getting my orders right. The drive thru people are always so kind. It's been a long time since I've gone inside to eat but the store seems to shave improved all around. read more

Panera Bread - A piece of plastic on the napkin that I found in the wrap - Salad Near Me - Manteca, California

Placed a Rapid pickup order via their app. Scheduled for 20 minutes after I ordered...normal is a 10 minute wait. Received a text at the time the order was scheduled to be ready to say it was ready for pick up. Was told at the counter they were still working on it. Finally received the order 25 minutes later. They had substituted multiple bagels I had requested without letting me know and the bagel sandwich I ordered had the wrong bagel (jalapeño instead of everything) and wrong egg (scrambled instead of over-easy egg). By far the worse experience I have had at a Panera. read more

Food was tasty. Staff was friendly. Restaurant had several unruly boys yelling and running around guest tables. They were loud and obnoxious. Staff did nothing. But, I made a new friend. He kept landing in my empty soup bowl. I was here less than a week ago and that visit wasn't so great either. read more

Panera Bread - My new friend in my soup bowl at Panera Bread in Manteca. - Salad Near Me - Manteca, California

I'd give a negative 5 stars if that was possible. If it's not the 20 minute wait or the bad customer service ruining your meal, it'll be the food itself. This was supposed to be a Toasted Garden Caprese Sandwich. This is the 3rd time in a row I've gotten a sandwich like this. Will never be coming back to this location, I suggest anywhere but here. read more

Ambiance from the girl who worked at the cashier is horrible. Ordered 13 bagels. Didn't even bother to get a bigger bag. Gave us small paper bag for the whole 13 bagels that we bought. Did not offer the receipt. Did not know how to handle a customers and orders. She's terrible at her job. Bad vibes from her. read more

On Saturday, I ordered 3 off pretty much all the bagels that were available, except for a few. What I did ask for were 3 Sesame and for them to be cut in half. My daughter picked them up and not knowing where they were at she asked where they were. They said the wall with the cubbies. She asked where that wall is and she said they became irritated and showed her. She came back home, none of them sliced in half and no sesame bagels and one jalapeño begal. Due to stomach issues I can't eat anything spicy. Since everything was in one bag, you can smell the jalapeños on the other bagels. Some of the bagels were semi hard. We threw those out. Overall, they will not get my service anymore. I'll take the extra 15 minute drive to Stockton's bagel shop. read more

This place always looks like it's closed. The lights are dim and at our last visit in December it was freezing inside. I had to keep my coat on. My husband asked why the sign was off and on our way out we saw they turned it on. The employees are very lackluster. I'm sure they'd prefer it look like they were closed so they wouldn't have to do anything. We also said our order was for inside dining and they packed it up to go. Love the food but too expensive for the portion you get anyway...there are other places that I don't have to clean up my own mess for over $70.00. read more

0 stars This restaurant used to be my favorite but now it's a shit show. They mess up on orders and everyone seems annoyed when you ask for something. I was promised vouchers and never got them. Their food was beyond disgusting. read more

I go here often, I love the subscription to their coffee that gives me unlimited coffee for the month. I do curbside orders and they are usually pretty quick once I pull up. Once in a while dislocation will have a hiccup. But I have gone to other locations and they are far better than they are. Keep it up team manteca read more

Been here twice now, worst customer service and rudest employees in the morning. I asked for my sandwich cut bc I was going to eat it driving to work, they said they can't--totally cool, I get how specific and strange corporate businesses can be, so I completed my order. I pulled up to the window and saw them blatantly talking about the issue, pointing to the window and making obvious hand gestures toward the window. When the dude came to the window he explained to me as if I had an issue and I said it was cool, I was never upset and I get how it can be--but maybe they shouldn't talk about their guests in the open where they can see them. Then he proceeded to tell me off like I was stupid, even had no issue cussing at me. I've been apart of restaurants for over 10 years now, have the decency to go behind closed doors or expect to get corrected bc you clocked in to do a job and provide a service, not ruin someone's day because they asked for their fucking breakfast sandwich cut in half. Get a better staff with better attitude. read more

So when I think of Panera Restaurant, the first thing that comes to mind is the soup they have along with the bread that is served with it. Today we showed up at Panera in Manteca to have soup and a sandwich. Well they were not offering any soup at all, ok so my second choice would be a panini sandwich. Guess what? No paninis either. Alright then salad it is. I ordered a salad, hubby ordered a steak and Swiss sandwich and Ceasars salad. His sandwich was soggy dripping wet from the oil from the cheese, my salad was just barley ok with the core of the lettuce still in tact in my bowl of salad along with it being a bit soggy as well. Pure disappointment and a waste of money. Sad that Manteca has this to offer. read more

Very nice dining area. Comfortable and cozy with a great variety of delicious food and friendly service!

This place always runs out of stuff!! And the employees here are always clueless about a lot of things. A few weeks ago, I ordered a Thai Spicy Chicken Salad and I got the Asian Sesame Salad instead. Like I know some of the ingredients are similar but how do you confuse a Thai salad that has ingredients like edamame in it with an Asian Sesame Salad that has nothing but lettuce, chicken, and sesame seeds?? Also, normally when I have had messed up orders or something from other Panera locations, they usually give me a free pastry for the trouble. And I know when I visit any Panera location, it says if the order is not right, they'll fix it up and they'll give you a free treat for the trouble. NOPE! Didn't get that at all. Speaking of pastries, they're always out of pastries. I once ordered an orange scone and they were out. Tried to go for something else like the pecan braid, they were out of that too. Then, I tried going for a pumpkin muffin! But no pumpkin muffin either! Like what the heck?! This place is definitely not the same compared to how it used to be about three years ago. And I know we're living in times of uncertainty right now, but take some pride in your work. read more

Maricel gave us an exceptional service. Appreciate young persons with manners & hospitality she displays. I informed her my coffee was a little warm. She took care of me immediately. .Thankful, Rosemary Costa read more

I am a regular at this location and service and food use to be great. Now it's horrible. The wait time is way too long and just to wait for a item that you didn't even order. This has happened multiple times in the past few months. I even have missing items too. They will give you a different bread or make your item different or substitute something in your food with out talking to you first. I am very disappointed since I do love the food from Panera. This location needs attention from a good supervisor. read more

Every time I go to this Panera the service, and attitude of the staff, gets worse and worse, particularly the morning crew who are more in tune with gossiping and giggling in the back than actually ensuring their customers get the correct order or can request the dozens of things not available (or run out) up front like silverware, butter, stir sticks etc. This morning was the final straw as they subbed in a different item for a preordered (2 hours earlier so lots of warning) mobile order, snuck it in, then acted like I was being irrational when I called them out on it. The shift lead/manager Alexis was particularly condescending, making things as difficult to resolve as possible. Laughable when their receipt literally says 'your order should be correct the first time or we'll fix it'. They did neither. Food is acceptable - given its one of the few quick service places in town with a good salad selection they know they have a firm grip on the market - but the consistency in what you get varies wildly from visit to visit. Again, staff cutting corners or just not giving a rip. I wish there was a good option available to replace them. read more

I'm a big fan of Panera quality and menu, I'm usually not a big stickler on customer service as long as my food is made fresh and or to order. My only issue with this location is that they have a very bad habit of not listening to customers orders , confirming customer orders and making the correct orders. As a regular customer, about 50% of the time I am forced to go back to the location or call the location due to incorrect orders. The first 2-3 times wasn't a big deal and the managers seemed to be apologetic and helpful over the phone but my most recent discrepancies were met with a bit of attitude and unpleasant tones as if I was causing an inconvenience . Wich is very unfortunate due to the fact that I'm usually commuting when I place my order and I really rely on my meal being accurate and fresh when breakfast or lunch time comes around. With some small improvements with operation training, I believe this location can raise the bar of quality of service and accuracy of customer satisfaction. Customers shouldn't feel like we're at fault for our orders being made incorrect, and we shouldn't be burdened with the constant inconvenience of having to speak with managers to get our orders remade. Its bad when you go to the location to get a refund and there are other patrons in line with incorrect orders , and even worse if the manager recognizes you from past incorrect orders. That being said, as a customer make sure you double check your order before they ring you up, and again TRIPLE check your order before leaving drive thru or lobby. It's not worth the waste of time to go back and forth constantly. read more

Don't go to this Panera Bread, this is the second time they messed up my online order. Or at least just don't do online order if you still feel like dining in there. They let someone else pick up my order and they couldn't offer me replacements because they don't have anything on their shelves, not even bagel options to choose from. I hope I really do get my refund after this bs. Never coming back to this location. read more

I give up. They can't get it right. Don't Door Dash Panera . You need to be there so they can fix it after they give you the wrong food. Really sad . read more

This was our first visit to Panera in Manteca. The woman working the drive-through was so rude, we drove out and did not order. We were visiting the store on May 25, 2024, at 12:30 PM. Definitely will never visit this site again. Very sad that an unprofessional and rude person could impact the business in such a negative Way. read more

Update: got home and they forgot to grill the GRILLED cheese sandwich. Now I'm cooking it myself! Thanks for your service Panera! Ordered a soup, salad and a sandwich. Pulled out of drive through and looked in the bag and my salad was missing. Everyone I go through the drive thru I have to pull in a spot, go in, wait in line, and ask for my missing food. And NEVER an apology. My husband loves this place, so we keep coming back. But the management needs to step up and do a better job with this store. read more

There's always a lunch rush here around noontime. As long as I come in a little after 1pm, I usually don't have a hard time finding seating. This is also a nice place to get some work in whenever I work remotely. Super friendly staff & they are pretty quick to clear off tables. Salads are always amazing and cannot go wrong with their bagels! read more

Dani is so awesome! She's so sweet and amazing and definitely very helpful in deciding what to get on the menu! 10/10 personality she definitely made the panera experience better for me than what it has been in the past read more

A star for some decent food. Entered the drive thru at 659 pm. Straight to order only no bread bowls, no bread at all, and no lettuce for the salad. Guess they had bread for sandwiches as we ordered one. Left drive thru at 722 pm with just two cars having been ahead of us. Probably wouldn't warrant a bad review but watching the seven people behind the glass supposedly "working" was very irritating. Lost this customer. read more

I was served in the drive thru by Ashley and she was incredibly kind :) very pleasant experience

The food here is always so great and they deal the have with the free coffee is just a life saver. The only problem I have here is I usually have a long wait. This last time I went, while I was telling them my order they went silent for a few minutes and it confused me where they went and if they got anything that I just told them. They apologized after and when I got to the window they apologized again which I appreciated. read more

Panera Bread - Broccoli and cheese Mac and smokehouse barbecue chicken sandwich - Salad Near Me - Manteca, California

This is a review for my drive thru order placed at their order speaker at about 6pm. I was the only car in the drive thru and there were not very many cars in the lot, so I know there were not busy, I was even questioning if they were open. I waited a while before they even spoke to me, then asked if I had any questions, I told them no I was waiting for them to place my order. I placed my order and drove to the window. From the window it appeared they were fully staffed as I saw a lot of people working. They did not give us the soup that was ordered, but another soup that is flavorless. The sandwiches were mediocre tasting. They were out of the cookie we wanted. Of course we were unaware of the wrong soup until I got home. I called to see if they could give me credit on my rewards account for the soup and I was told, no they I would have to drive back to get the right soup. This location is not exactly close to my home, so I was not using my very expensive gasoline to drive back to get the correct soup. They could have offered some type of credit to my rewards account but flat out said the only way it could be remedied was for me to comeback to the store. Caveat, check your order before you leave. read more

Went to pick up my order since I did pick up. I pulled up to the drive through since it was completely empty and I had no shoes on, the girl said i would have to come in to pick up. I tod her again i dont have any shoes on and she told me she cant make an exception for 1 customer. Its really odd because nobody was there and usually so shoes no service which its 10am i just hopped in the car to pick up my order before my son woke up. So i go in leaving my phone in the car , everybody in there has a rude look on there face then they tell me i need to now show them my phone which is in the car. So i go out to get it shoeless of course come back in the girl is like i dont see a name on the order like for gods sake it was only a bagel and a sandwich im not going around trying to steal peoples order. I just am very unhappy with this company now and how i was treated when i spend money with them weekly and shouldn't have been a big deal to give me my order through the drive thru this time since i have picked up door dashes by drive thru with other places, but clearly they didnt care i had no shoes on and its 54 degrees outside. So im happy to take my business else where. read more

Today I purchased 2 coffees & 2 bagels. Upon adding the cream and sugar while mixing I noticed something in the coffee. A plastic wrapper almost thought it was a condom for second. I called them and they didn't seem to be concern about it, not sure if they get similar phone calls for the same issues, either way check your coffees before drinking. Needless to say, I have canceled my wife's and I's monthly coffee subscription. read more

I would put 0 stars if possible. I'm not typically one to give a bad review as we all have off days. But without a doubt every SINGLE time I visit this location, something if not everything is wrong with my order. Today, my drink was wrong which will now be dumped. In a time when the cost of anything is as high as it is you would hope that at the least it would be correct. Wasted my time, product that isn't being consumed, fuel driving to/ from the location and money. read more
