Strawberry Poppyseed Salad with Chicken - so good! And it's one of those salads that aren't 1000 calories either. It's actually light and refreshing. 310 calories for a 17 oz. serving including dressing. For $8.65 for a salad from a cafe, you better be in the mood for a salad since that's a hefty price for fast food. You can get 2 lbs. of meat from L&L next door for the same price. read more

So hard to come here when I'm supposed to be limiting bread in my diet. But man, I love that you can order a soup and sandwich, and they will still let you have a nice cut of sourdough on the side. Sure, I could get the chips or fruit, but I didn't say I was good at watching my diet. I really love the soups here, The sandwiches are ok to me, tasty but not over the top. It's really the baked goods that keep me coming back. With my final paper due soon, this is a great place to study and eat. Now if only they had a print station... read more

After reading an article in Time Magazine about fast food places offering healthy food, and comparing Panera's Fuji apple chicken salad to Burger King's apple chicken cranberry one, I said must try. There is a Panera by AT&T Park, but I was going to be down the Peninsula. Read the Yelp reviews so I knew what the parking situation would be like during the lunch hour. Very busy and no space to be had. Parked down the street. Ordered at the counter, paid, given a pager, and found a booth. Within a few minutes, my pager went off. The Fuji apple chicken salad did not disappoint. You can select half order or whole order. Went with the whole. Baked Fuji apple slices on top of romaine lettuce, grilled chicken, pecans, Gorgonzola cheese, and a great dressing. Might be too sweet for some, but I loved it. And only 560 calories. Very satisfying. And a slice of French baguette. On a side note, there is free Wi-fi, so lots of folks with laptops, iPads, etc. as Panera is right across the street from Millbrae BART, Caltrain, and close to the airport. read more

Wowwowowowowowo, I really like this place. From the minute I stepped in to the minute I left, I was pretty satisfied with my entire experience here. I was on Yelp, looking for a healthy place to eat, because I had just played some basketball and got tired after 2ish games... So I Yelp'd "healthy" near the Milllbrae bart station after picking up my girlfriend, and this place showed up. What was funny was that In-N-Out burger also showed up on the "healthy" list as well...hahaha. Anyways, we chose Panera Bread. When we walked in, there was sort of like a buffet look to this place, I have no idea why but that's just what I felt, so I liked it already! Decided to go with some greens that day, so I got the Strawberry & Poppyseed Chicken Salad and she got the Chopped Chicken Cobb with Avocado. These, salads, were, BOMBBBBBBBBBBBB!! For the low amount of calories it had, the flavors were not low at all. They were filled with a variety of flavors. The Strawberry & Poppyseed Chicken's poppyseed dressing was really good. I am not normally fond of poppyseed all that much, but that was definitely not the case here. They had so much going on in this salad. Pineapples, mandarins, strawberries, blueberries, walnuts, chicken. If you are looking for the complete package with fruits and texture and flavor, then the poppyseed salad has it. The lady's salad was not bad at all neither, I got to try a bit of it. The Chopped Chicken Cobb Avocado. Avocado's were fresh, vinaigrette dressing was great, and I believe there was bacon in there....cannot, go wrong, with Bacon (even though we were trying to eat healthy, there can be a little twist to it...lol). The salads also come with either chips, bread, or an apple, and being as how I wanted to be healthy, I got an apple, and that apple was so crispy and juicy, it just completed the meal. The service was all super friendly as well. They got us our orders in a short period of time, offered us to open a card, but once we said no, they weren't consistently trying to persuade us like some other places would. So that is a plus. They also have free Wi-Fi! Perfect for a place if you want to study, because they serve coffee and teas as well. Water is self serve to the right of the counter. There is inside seating and also outside seating. If it is nice weather outside, outside seating is definitely a great place to dine. Overall, I was extremely satisfied. All I wanted was a place that was healthy (actually healthy), and not still be starving after my meal, and that is what I got. The friendly service, prices, dining options, food, the whole package, gave this place 5 stars. I would be back whenever that little voice inside my head tells me I should eat healthy. read more

Chopped Chicken Thai Salad ordered to-go: The portion seemed a little too small at the beginning, but I suppose the box is just big. The dressing was put into two sauce containers, but one of them wasn't closed all the way so it spilled out a little. Good thing the lid still stayed partially closed or else my salad would have been ruined with sogginess! I was surprised by how many ingredients go into the salad! Peanuts, edamame, carrots, crispy strips, chicken, and lettuce (and some other small things I can't remember). The chicken was muy delicious! I do wish, though, that it came with a peanut sauce in addition to the gingery/spicy dressing... That would really make the salad Thai. read more

CURB APPEAL: Typical stand alone restaurant. Just doesn't feel as welcoming as some of the other locations I've been to. I can't put my finger on it, but the one I used to go to in Stafford, VA was 10 times more inviting. SERVICE: Good service, never disappoints. Hard working employees. FOOD: I love Panera food, and this location doesn't disappoint. I usually go for breakfast, and get one of their cinnamon crunch bagels or apple crunch muffins, maybe a spinach souffle, and really good coffee. RESTROOMS: Usually clean, although on one visit, there was no hand soap in the men's room. To me, hand soap should never get down to a point where it might run out after a few hours. Especially in a restaurant. VALUE: A little on the expensive side, but the food is great. And free wifi too. OTHER: I wish there was a Panera across the street from my house. I'd be broke. Not sure why Panera's are few and far between in the Bay Area. read more

I have been a fan of Panera Bread for years and I really like this particular location. The staff here are always friendly and though there is always a lot of seating it also has a cozy feel. The free wifi is always a bonus as well. If you have never tried their cinnamon crunch bagel I HIGHLY recommend it. I personally like to have them dice it up into small pieces with their slicer and eat the pieces one by one. You will be a hero if you bring this to the office in the morning. I also love their turkey sandwiches and their soups! read more

I always come here during the holiday season to get their pumpkin spice latte. There is always parking in the morning, and the breakfast sandwiches are amazing. Sausage, egg, and cheese on grilled ciabatta bread.. *drool* Lunch time is a different story. Nearly impossible to find parking, but half sandwiches with a soup or salad always hits the spot. read more

Usually I can expect a standard, satisfactory Panera experience in terms of service and quality, and I'm never disappointed. However, tonight at this location near the BART, I ordered a "You-Pick-Two" and they only gave me half my order! Sadness. I waited awhile to see if it was just coming a little later, but then I finally had to chase down a server who wordlessly pointed me to a guy behind the counter who was either too frazzled or tired for polite conversation (much less an apology). I wasn't angry or demanding, and I was just happy to get my hastily-thrown-together sandwich, but I was pretty let down with tonight's Panera experience and the lack of friendliness. Food, however, was excellent as always, and it wasn't crowded or hard to find parking at that hour, surprisingly. read more

I will never order a catering delivery for my company again from there. We received our boxed lunch order on Friday, that suppose to be on Monday. Our Monday breakfast order was delivered on the correct date and a little late. Perfect. Come lunch time he came one hour earlier than scheduled. So I said please come back an hour later with fresh sandwiches. When he came back, I was told he has several deliveries. So I am assuming they make all their sandwiches very early, because by the time it got to our place the second time, which of course probably just sat in his truck for another hour, the bread was soaked through from the tomatoes and mayo. I realize they need some sort of system to get everyone's order out. But I will never order from them again. I will opt for a small deli that can make them fresher. read more

I love Panera Bread! And I especially love this location because we go to the gym nearby in the mornings and it's easy to get off onto Hwy 101. Their Fuji Apple Chicken salad is one of my favorite salads ever so that is my usual to go order. And the bread is amaaaaazing! Make sure you get your Panera bread card and activate it online so you get free pastries/coffee. read more

currently sitting in the restaurant! I just had the Fuji Apple Chicken salad...like always. My boyfriend was able to grab a Bear Claw using the Panera Awards points we have accumulated! yayyy. free pastry. The mi-fi is a tad bit slow right now. Im sure it is probably due to the amount of people online in the store at this time. I am definitely surprised that there are a good amount of people in here with their laptops today. I came here to study! I guess im not the only one.. By the way, Sundays they close at 8pm. Dont let the 9pm on the top fool you. read more

This is an updated review since my last visit. They got my order wrong yet again...why am I not surprised anymore? BUT a younger supervisor or manager noticed my frustration and that most of the food that I got was completely wrong from my order. He then refunded me the money and gave me the right order "on the house". Nice gesture, but it took them 20 more minutes to get my order right. All in all, i waited a whopping 45 minutes to get the food to go - there goes my lunch! read more

Everything so salty here. I used to love coming here and wish I can come often but the food is extremely salty, every single soup I tried is just too salty! Chicken sip supposed to be made salty but still horrible to order it knowing how salty it is. Please make us hearty meal, stop feeding us salt. read more

I only order one item here - a full chicken Ceasar salad with chips. I love how light yet fulfilling it is for lunch. To have it in the restaurant is the best as they dress it perfectly. More often than not I take it to go and find that I'm always wanting more dressing. Regardless though, the chicken is so juicy and tasty and the cheese is yum! read more

It breaks my heart to give Panera a bad review. It's been 5 years since I've lived near one. Then I'd have praised them, and ate there 2-3 times a week. Found myself at a hotel in SSF. Went there ecstatic about visiting an old standby. It was awful. Dry, overcooked and sloppily made. I gave them another chance yesterday different sandwich same sad quality. Customer service substandard and employees were unaware of items available on web site. So long old friend I won't be back. read more

First time here and I love it...... It was 2pm on a Saturday's afternoon. The line was long but it moved pretty fast. The people worked there was very friendly and efficient. The restaurant was clean and neat. I got the 2 items Combo with soup and salad: Fiji Apple Salad - The salad was half size but the portion was generous. The salad has chicken, mixed field greens, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pecans, Gorgonzola, apple chips & white balsamic apple vinaigrette. Everything was so fresh. Very refreshing and delicious. For soup, I chose Tomato Cream. It was so good too. Very creamy, smooth, and rich. Perfect to eat with the bread. I will try the sandwiches next time! read more

Panera Bread - 2 items combo - Tomato Cream Soup and Fiji Apple Salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Millbrae, California

I am a sucker for soup and sandwiches. I used to always come to this panera but I eventually had to limit myself. Their pick any 2 is a pretty good deal. The quality of the food is good. Sandwiches are made fresh, soup is always hot, bread is delicious& fresh and their pastries are so yummy. Their coffees are pretty good also. If your on your way to the airport and are looking for something to take or if your in the area and are looking for a bite to eat I would recommend this panera. The service has always been friendly and that makes a great experience even better. read more

I forgot how good Panera is. The price isnt too bad and the menu is very health-conscious. This millbrae branch always has seats, not too full when eating in. The wait is a while, but you have to understand that this is not fast food. As much as I love In-N-Out, next door, I gotta eat healthy too! read more

I have been in a few times and this place is never disappointing. The Staff are very friendly and the place is clean. Food is typical Panera bread fare, what really makes it is the location and staff. Parking is a challenge during lunch. read more

Great fresh food but slow service. They always seem to have a line with only one register open. They recently set up "help yourself computer ordering" but people want to talk to a human. Please don't make us all robots. Some of us (I would guess most of us) want to interact with your employees to place our orders. Keep up the good work on the good food options. Your my favorite stop for ice tea! read more

No morning soups on a cold day tilll 1030am...guess I'm getting pancakes at mcdonalds....unless i missed a sign somewhere but theres no time table Located on the overhanging menu board by the cashier..maybe i was looking at the wrong board perhaps? Least the lead female shift supervisor in the morning wasnt rude about it at all...so that leveled off.. Bacon egg sandwich on chibatta bread for 5 dollars is more like easy over egg sandwhich with a morsel of bacon...meh....guess I'm waiting for 5 guys for same price. Of bacon burger.. Parking and wifi here is good though...thats about all i can say for this place. Still better than quizmos and subway tho read more

The place is wonderful. It offers outdoor seating, free wi-fi and fresh bread, cookies, rolls, etc. What's not to love about this place. We were able to custom order box lunches for a staff meeting. The order was prepared correctly and promised to us as scheduled. The service is very good. Great staff. read more

This Panera has gone downhill the past few years. I work very close to this location and usually come here for catering, work lunches and breakfast before work. My business uses this Panera for catering on a monthly basis and every other time is just a fail. They sometimes never get the order submitted online, they forget to make the order or they forget items in the order. This is quite frustrating when you are trying to cater for 10-20+ people and have to either wait for them to fix an error or realize that Panera has forgotten items when I'm back at the office. Also I hardly go there in the morning anymore because it takes entirely way too long for a simple bagel and coffee. What exactly happened to the shift in service within the last few years? I remember going here for many years and the staff knew my name, fast service, and great customer service. read more

I placed a $20.00 order for delivery at 659am and I expected by 8am. No show. I called the Millbrae location at about 820am, they cannot locate the order. The guy who answered the phone sounded like the store manager. He asked me to re-spell my last name and of course he keeps adding an i to the end when it is e. Can't seem to make the guy understand as he pronouns my last name with an i. No breakfast, coffee or treats for my family. Disappointed! And my charge was already accepted. UPDATE: MY $30.00 ORDER MYSTERYLY SHOWED UP ABOUT 930AM only 2.5 hrs after placing it. Latte was cold, no foam. The manager never called me as he promised to do. In the meantime I ordered from another competitor and received my order before 9am. read more

I'm sitting outside they just curbside my food and I'm missing 2 breads. I ordered a bowl (comes with bread) and 4 additional breads (don't judge me). They gave me 3. Like I could understand if they Gave me 4, maybe the person doesn't know the bowl comes with bread but 3!! That's intentional or just stupid sorry. No wonder this joint has 3 stars oh ya and so I called and it rang for 100 rings and then an AT&T out of service message plays .... wow, didn't know this was a mom and pop. read more

I think he was the manager but the gentlemen who appeared in charge was attentive and responsive at our recent visit. Nice outdoor seating. Limited menu options due to reopening but the chicken salad sandwich was yummy! Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. My mom had a small chicken salad which seemed plain and not worth buying. Otherwise nice sandwiches and salads. read more

Worst Panera I have visited. 20 min wait, then cold soup and sloppily made, empty sandwich. Dang and I was hungry! Go to In-Out, next door.

I've been coming here for years.They used to be the best pastries. I mainly come for the pastries . Over a year ago they've changed the recipe and also less filling. Now the pastries are smaller and the price is the same or higher.Now where do I go for decent pastries? read more

Never again. I have been going there for breakfast since this location opened. The food here is GREAT! Getting it is a whole other story. It's almost as if we surprise the morning crew even though they've been open for an hour. "What are you doing here...holy crap. let's make some coffee!" -No egg whites (can't you make one the way most people do, by taking the yellow part away from the white part?) -Only one register working. - No dark roast coffee. -Bathroom.....eeck! Don't get me wrong, they are working hard. I'm just not sure on what. There's a flury of employees making sandwiches and putting together large bags to go. What they don't seem to get is the customer walking in the front door. This morning I finally figured out I don't have the energy for this anymore. Even at 7am. read more

This is a very slow and unorganized Panera - not ideal management for an establishment next to the airport.

This was probably the worst service I've ever experienced at a restaurant. As I went to order I asked for the cashier's suggestion on what size of soup is best. She gave me a nudge of the shoulders and an eye roll. Love it! Then once I ordered my food, I waited about 3 min til my name was called. I had ordered a cup of soup and bread to go. The bag was tossed on the counter and slid over to me. They handled it very unprofessionally. In all honesty, the soup was between mediocre and bland. Save your money, go to Safeway and buy soup & salad. It will save the hassle of attitude and your food being almost thrown at you. And as said before, you'll save your money! read more

No dressing on my SALAD, no BREAD WHATSOEVER & they wouldn't give me enough croutons for my soup & salad. Highly disappointed!!!!!!!!!!?

I had ordered a hot chocolate and two cookies for here. The cashier started bagging the cookies so I asked if he could please put them on a plate. He said it was easier to put them in a bag but would plate them for me. He proceeded to put the 2nd one in a bag and then emptied the bags into a couple plates. When my hot chocolate was delivered, it was in a to-go cup. My husband and I told the guy that we had asked "for here"...in a mug. The guy said OK and put the cup down on the table. I was a little confused so I kept looking at him. He then picked up the cup and walked away. We continued to wait for the hot chocolate to come out. After almost 10 minutes, my husband went up to the pick-up counter and saw our hot chocolate sitting there in the same to-go cup. Afterwards, they put the hot chocolate in a mug and delivered it with flat whipped cream. I had seen pictures of fluffy whipped cream, caramel sauce and a big marshmallow, so I was really disappointed with the way this one had looked. I asked if they normally put marshmallows in it and they said they do but had run out. When I first drank the hot chocolate, it was pretty lukewarm and didn't taste very chocolatey. It tasted more like milk. At this point I was kind of over it. Luckily, someone offered to refund my drink. read more
