Hey folks my review is on the specific Panera location below Food: For the last couple of weekends, I've been visiting Panera Bread SB (North Varsity/univ parkway) While visiting in the area. I am hooked on the Chicken Rancher on black pepper focaccia sandwhich Warm sandwich and they can add on the side something you may want for the sandwich if they have it.. The salads are good also. Service is good and most customer service employees go out of the way to accommodate.. The food prep staff are fairly quick with turning out orders, even at the drive thru..However, a tip would be to check your bag that all items are in there especially smaller items like spreads and chips etc.. I had things missing a couple of times.. if you catch it they are good at correcting the error. If you want pastries, get in there before eve as it seems they only make a certain amount and that goes for favorite items as well. Ambiance: Average only with an interesting drive thru. If you're not careful turning into the lot, you could Miss Panera's drive thru altogether.. Outdoor eating area, not a fan of the setting.. also, I do believe this Panera is new to that area.. I would recommend it if you are in the area or live out there as Panera's are few.. 3.75 stars. Enjoy..Til next time read more

Went to panera bread restaurant in YUCAIPA, ordered vegetable soup, but was sick for three days after eating the soup . Once i get food poisoning, thats it for me, im never going back...... I went to the pandera in REDLANDS about one year before the one in yucaipa,and my experiences were very different, the soup and sandwich was very tasty, and it seemed to be alot cleaner and well organized . And I did not get sick. So YUCAIPA needs to improve read more

I go to Panera three to four times a week, sometimes even twice a day, to enjoy my Sip Club drink, do homework or Bible study, or catch up with a friend! It's such a comfortable and welcoming place for all of that! The atmosphere is relaxed, the Wi-Fi is reliable, and the staff is always friendly. The food is always fresh and delicious, and I really appreciate how consistent they are with quality. If you join the Rewards Program, you'll get plenty of incentives to keep coming back, from surprise discounts to free bakery items. Plus, they often have discounts on gift cards, which makes it even more of a value. Panera is truly my go-to spot for great food, a calm environment, and a reliable place to recharge or connect. Pro tip: If you round up your total by just one penny for their donation program, your Sip Club drink will count as a visit even though it's normally free! That's an easy way to rack up rewards a little faster. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Redlands, California

Unfortunately it's a chaotic vibe in here. It has the potential to be better given its location but it disappoints. We usually order online to save time and to avoid long waits, but whenever we order online, it is never ready within the timeframe. Tonight when I went to pick up our to go order, they called my name and it was the completely wrong order for totally separate person. My order was finally ready about 15 minutes later and everything was thrown inside the bag. The food portions for the cost are not a good value at all. When you order a bowl of soup instead of a cup, it is a very tiny bowl that feels like it's the same size as a cup and they do not fill it all the way and they do not put any of the toppings or meat, it's just broth. The employees that work here are unprofessional workers that just gossip behind the counter so the place is not very clean and it feels disorganized. read more

Waited almost 30 minutes for 1 Mac and cheese bread bowl. Would have been fine if someone would have spoke to me but I had to listen to the night crew complain about not having Mac and cheese and they had two orders of it. I heard them saying something about needing to thaw it out. Completely unprofessional. Someone should have told me that it was going to be a wait for the Mac and cheese, gave me a time frame and asked if was okay with waiting, I would have said yes and that would have been polite and professional. I showed up about 8:10-8:15. Left at 8:40. I haven't been to this location in years, my daughter wanted the bowl randomly for dinner. As we waited in the front sitting down, I witnessed a group of women order at the kiosk, we all heard someone tell some girl in a joking way that she was good for nothing. The women all looked surprised. Saw another older man wait to ask someone for a to go bowl, no one was in the front as he was just waiting. When someone came out, she told him where the bowls were at by pointing and explaining. It was obvious he didn't know where she was talking about and she just let him be confused. I walked over and showed him where, what she should have done. Another couple just waiting to be helped in the front for a while, as we can hear everyone in the back talking, laughing, being loud. You can definitely tell this is a "night crew" and why they are there at night, closing. Whoever was running the shift last night needs to step it up. Customer service was non existent. I gave two stars because my daughter said her food was still good. read more

Favorable: I come here often to hang out while reading. I'm vegan so not many options that are a value once you've removed the meat and cheese because you don't get discounts or substitutions. That being said, the sip club is convenient, and the Mediterranean sandwich is good because it allows you to add extra arugula or peppers to it. Service is great. Unfavorable: it's not a clean environment. The booths and walls in the booths have food smears and other random ick. I recently noticed a sweet n low packet laying in the plastic area behind the booth seat and below where your back rests. I left it there out of curiosity and actually came on a daily basis. It sat there for two weeks before I finally took mercy on it and threw it out. This was my first indication that they don't clean their booths. Since then, I sit in chairs, but their tables often are not clean either so I've decided to just sit outside. This issue really surprises me because the area where the drinks are, where you pick up your food and bathrooms are clean. I don't know if this is a training issue or a lack of issue. But there you have it. read more

Stopped by with my daughter for breakfast. Place clean & organized. Full house and busy. Staff helpful & accommodating. Order came on time as promised. Bagels toasted right (not over, not under). Paired well with smile butter and honey walnut cream cheese. Got my coffee but not hot anymore as I've wanted it (dispenser almost empty). Water for her honey ginseng tea still very hot. Enjoyable and memorable time spent together (seldom opportunity) with my beautiful and only one. Luv u. read more

I've always been a fan of Panera breads delicious menu and have enjoyed the variety of food items they offer . Within the last few years I've visited Panera bread I've made a favorite to go item I really love which is the tuna sandwich. I went here the other day and have discovered something truly disappointing! I ordered from the you choose two meal deal as per usual and of course ordered my favorite sandwich . Once I received my meal I realized that the portion size for the sandwich was cut in half ! Yet the price was the same ! This is shameful and displeasing. read more

Panera has really gone down the drain! Always check the order because besides the soggy as hell breakfast sandwich & lack of peppers, they didn't put my 2 types of cream cheese in the bag (which cost extra)! read more

The Panera in Redlands has the best customer service, and the friendliest customers too! It's what makes the ambiance here best of all Panera's in the inland Empire. In regards to food, I am happy that here I'm able to get the food with the best protein and nutrients and in regards to my sip club, the staff works quickly to refill coffee as needed or requested. Panera may not be perfect but due to all of the above, I give it an A for awesome read more

This place is mid. Their online orders run behind and the food quality has gone down hill over the years. The inside is messy and disorganized. The food is okay but works if you need a quick bite. read more

Panera Bread - Bowl of french onion soup and frontega chicken sandwich. Kind of pathetic... - Sandwiches Near Me - Redlands, California

I have to update my previous review to delicious. Panera offered free delivery so I thought I'd try again. A very nice person delivered an appetizing Cobb salad and bacon basil sandwich. Well done! read more

Apparently it's too hard to add a bread bowl to door dash orders. Then when you call and tell them they forgot your bread bowl, they tell you they can't do anything because it's through DoorDash. Well the door dasher didn't mess up my order they did. Absolutely ridiculous, such a low skill job and still can't do things right. read more

We came here to celebrate a special occasion. There's plenty of space for the party of 8 could sit inside. It was easy to order our meals at the kiosk. We preferred this way to order. Everyone got what they wanted. The place was clean. We enjoyed talking while we waited for our meal to be ready. We were texted when our meal was prepared. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our sandwiches and salads ordered. We especially liked the free refills on drinks. Employees here were friendly. We definitely come back again. read more

It's raised prices -AGAIN- and the service is the worst. Really horrible. Tables are dirty, no garbage cans anywhere. Very inner city feel

My husband and I love going to Panera Bread. The staff and food are great. Their service is also fast.

I can't believe that they don't have more five star reviews. This place is awesome. The food is fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is very nice and relaxing and they even let you sit and do your work while you're eating not like other places that want you to Just grab your food and go I have tried quite a few different things. Everything is so fresh thank you Panera. See you soon. Oh Ps Not to mention their sip club for just 14.99 a month you can have unlimited coffee iced teas and different drinks . What a deal. !!! read more

I was so excited to try the new Signature Take chicken sandwich I've been seeing all over Tik-Tok. When I got here it did not feel the same... SERVICE: The line moved a little slow but the cashier was friendly. We noticed a lot of people sitting with no food, so we got a little worried but I was on a mission to try this new chicken sandwich. Be prepared to wait....It took a good 30 minutes to get our food, but I was gonna forgive them for this chicken sandwich..... FOOD: Well, I didn't get the box that I saw them come in so the initial presentation was disappointing. Then the first couple bites were a little dry (the sauce was just not evenly spread). The middle bite was tasty, but not impressive. I would not pay $12+ for this sandwich again, when there are other chicken sandwiches around. My wife had the Fuji Apple salad and it was good. CLEANLINESS: Again, the place has changed....used to always be spotless...but the tables were not clean (in the area we were at) and there was food under the table from the previous customer. Overall, just ok today. read more

I'm part of the sip club so I visit several paneras during the week. This is by far the worst one. Always dirty and the service is excruciatingly slow. Sometimes I have to wait 15+ minutes just to get a cup. And the staff is usually short when you ask for help. I don't blame the workers. They seem to be understaffed compared to other Paneras. read more

We come here because my son loves the oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies, but the place is never clean. The booths are falling apart and always filthy. The carpet looks unclean. I don't think anybody cleans. It's a shame, I have always loved coming to Panera. The one in Yucaipa is cleaner. read more

Take a good look around at the kitchen and the drink area before you order food there. Because I promise you you'll be disgusted at how dirty it is. U will most definitely get sick from eating there. I got a refund and walked out. I almost threw up when I saw the drink area, it made my stomach twirl. Wish I had taken photos. read more

Ordered online and did not get what we ordered. Ordered their new dipper sandwich based on the picture and it came flat and small. Another person in our party ordered their new dipper same thing and was on totally different cream and much larger. Called the store and spoke to a manager who was somewhat rude and told us that it was the right sandwich when we said two people ordered the same sandwich and they were totally different. Extremely disappointed and their 2.5 rating is over what they deserve. read more

I've been to this location so many times and I absolutely love it for so many reasons. Food: Always delicious, no matter what you try from the menu! They happily accommodate dietary restrictions and make alterations to suit your needs/ preferences. I've never had an order made incorrectly. I love stopping by here for a breakfast bagel and their smoothies are really good too! Most entrees come with sides that can be customized, so be sure to ask for different options. Service: Always on point. Fast, hospitable service with no complaints. One time when I went to pick up my to-go order of bagels, they were out and let me pick a different bakery item instead! Parking: There are curbside spots for pick up orders and tons of parking in the lot. Wifi: Free, available, and best of all - it's fast! Easy to connect to and I've never had an issue with it. Ambience: Casual neighborhood eatery with both booth and table seating options. There is also outdoor seating! Can get loud during peak hours, but is a good study spot or place to get some work done at most hours of the day. read more

Panera Bread - Asiago cheese bagel - Sandwiches Near Me - Redlands, California

3-star in comparison to other Panera or Panera-type places. My main issue in visiting this particular Panera the other day was the cleanliness. The floors had lots of food remnants and tables didn't look that clean which is an immediate turn off. The atmosphere inside was mediocre. My salad, the Citrus Asian Crunch Salad with Chicken, was good and generously portioned. If the atmosphere and cleanliness had been better, I would've given 4-stars. read more

This Panera has good, straight up sandwiches and salads. And let's not forget, by California standards, Panera has a very good bagel! It is consistent and efficient. The kiosk to order and pay is very convenient. But a pandemic change is the Panera won't deliver your meal to your table, you'll be paged and you'll need to pick it up yourself. For work or gatherings the dozen bagels and cream cheese, is a super alternative to the traditional box of donuts. My fav is the blueberry bagel. This has a chewy outside crust and a moist center with ample blueberries. I also like the low calorie cream cheese. For lunch or dinner my go to is the Pick 2. I get a 1/2 turkey and cheese sandwich and a Greek salad. This is enough to fill me up. The sandwich bread is average, but the turkey and cheese are fresh and tasty. The lettuce on the sandwich and salad are consistently fresh. For the salad the ingredients are fresh. But the salad dressing, which we ask for on-the-side, is quite good: herbal and tangy. Sometimes I use it as dipping oil for my baguette. If you have the Greek salad as an entrée, you can add items such as quinoa or a protein. Recently we ate on the outdoor patio. For being adjacent to a parking lot and driveway it was quite quiet. And there was shade! read more

Always a pleasant experience at this cafe Would reccommend to anyone in the area!! Great service and food

Normally visit the one on Hospitality, but order on line from this one because it was on our way home. Alexis was the manager trainee and I called to complain about the order (the small things wrong with out order but it wasn't what we ordered) which was $70+. When I started to inform this person about what was wrong she was immediately on the defensive and took absolutely zero concern for the issues I was addressing. Her condescending attitude and comebacks really 'teed me and my comment to her about "my sandwich looking like shit" was not appropriate but this trainee needs to get a little more customer service training so she can appreciate the customers business and at least act like my issue is her concern. I wasn't looking for a reimbursement and definitely not driving 20 minutes to go back, she could have peased me by acknowledging my complaint, apologized and asked if there was anything she could do to make it better. I didn't want anything other than for them to know I wasn't pleased with my order, it was my right to be happy with what I paid for! read more

Driving across America was the first time I ever encountered a PANERA. It was genuinely a Jesus moment after so much McGarbage and Cracka-barrel. But in a town like Redlands with so many choices a PANERA comes off as an, "Oh yeah -- that place." Still better than Crapdonalds but there are places better than Panera, whether they be the simple but delightful 'country store' OLIVE STREET MARKET or the sublime and addictive STELL COFFEE & TEA on Barton. In general this chain is alright but I'm here to b!tch about the bagels. They're not good. Yes, I spent four years in Brooklyn NYC once upon a time, but if we are to accept the premise it's not fair to compare Panera to real bagels -- then -- how about the fact I prefer ALDI's packaged bagels over Panera's fresh? Bagels have to have both a light 'bready' experience combined with a dense gooey chewy sensation. Once toasted ALDI pulls this off. PANERA lacks the gooey chewy and comes off as simply bread shaped like a bagel. And I'd now like to reject the premise that it's 'okay' for PANERA to not serve real bagels. Why? THEY'RE A NATIONWIDE CHAIN, Thank You. What -- they can't afford to learn how to do it the right way and master it? WHY NOT? So I know Panera offers a lot more than bagels, true, and again they do a solid job in that area. But they've had enough time. Pick your lazy butts up, buy a good bagel store in NYC, and duplicate what they do nationwide. read more

I'd give 5 stars but THEY DONT SERVE SOUP UNTIL 10:30 AM!!!!! I'm on an all soup diet due to health reasons for 3 weeks. I love Paneras soup. I was shocked to learn they don't make it until late. I have no option but to eat soup for breakfast, lunch & dinner but do I have to wait until 10:30 to eat? WHY?!?!?!!?!? At least have day old soup or something else for people. Instead my fridge is now stocked with over $100 of store bought Panera soup. Other than that the ambiance makes sense and makes you hungry with food everywhere. I like it. The service is kind and professional and I have nothing else bad to say. I can't. It's Panera and it's delicious. The sandwiches are all worth a try on any bread or bagel, which I prefer. I'm a huge Panera fan but I'm still bummed about the soup. It's disappointing. read more

During my visits, there hasn't been anything on the menu that has stood out to me, but there are some solid picks like the frontega chicken sandwich and the green goddess Cobb salad. The pick two option is good if you want some variety in your meal. I am a fan of their pastries, such as their four cheese souffle and the chocolate chip muffie. And their bagels are consistently good; there's an option to get a box full of a variety of bagels that's great value! As I said, nothing significantly unique here, but it's not a bad option if you're willing to wait a little bit and enjoy their cafe setting. Fair quality food, usually clean cafe, and friendly enough staff. read more

Every table in the dining area has dirty dishes. Cleaned my own table along with every other guest. I was here 45 minutes and did not see an employee clear any tables. Waited for our food, after 25 minutes went up to ask it was sitting there cold. Chicken n wild rice soup was beyond watered down. This Panera has really gone downhill. read more

This place makes the best apple salad in the world. The service is usually quick and I find it even better if I order online for pick up. The only problem would be in the mornings. Don't count on them having coffee in the coffee containers because I believe out of 10 visits, they've only had coffee available once. So, for lunch items.... Good. For breakfast... bad read more

This review is on all Paneras in general. I've always enjoyed the beagles with a nice hazelnut cup of coffee; morning or evening specially when I am just skipping dinner and would like something warm for my stomach. Seems like since post Covid "Panera Bread" is always with no beagles or maybe a selection of several,one or two types of beagles. It's truly a hit and miss with most of the time a missed! I write this review because I will not regularly be visiting as I used to. It's time for me to start researching new small privately owned businesses where the consumer is an important part of the business critical thinking Restaurants are more likely to find long-term success if they practice effective inventory management to satisfied customers! read more

1 cuz I can't leave zero Ordered 3 - bacon egg and cheese on brioche, made wrong first time realized when we got home went back they kindly offered to remake and offered me pastry, which I declined the pastry just wanted my sandwiches made correctly. Handed the remade sandwiches, left went to my car started to drive home, hadn't left parking lot. Decided to look at sandwiches, they were all still missing BACON the first word in the sandwich.. I go back to show them the sandwiches, & I am accused (by the gal who made them wrong twice) of "removing avocado" then I am offered a cup of bacon, yep a cup of bacon... No one expects much when they go to Panera, but this was a whole new level of Low. Congrats! read more

In the bustling city of Redlands, I took the opportunity to eat at Panera Bread today. I was quickly reminded why I never come here to eat. The place was packed with students, so the environment felt like a cafeteria with uncomfortable seating. However, I felt like if I sat outside, I would've been more comfortable in their wicker chairs. One thing that stood out at this location was the upholstery of the seats. I found more rips and tears in their leather/pleather seats than what my eyes could feast on. Spending $17 for a full size sandwich and cup of disgusting sweet French Onion soup, I found this to be disappointing considering how much money people spend on their food. Service was mediocre. Staff was prompt and wait time for food was a mere 13 minutes. As I got a refill on my drink, the liquid-catch fell to the ground and landed on my foot,spilling liquid on my shoes. In a quick manner, someone placed a caution sign and in no time, it was cleaned up. The environment was noisy. I felt like I was in a loud student study hall. Not even sure why this is a place that people go to study or meet for business. To me, it doesn't seem conducive, but I guess it works others. Would I be back? I will make a promise to myself to not come back. read more
