First time at this location and we had no complaints. Walking in the place was clean and the girl at the counter was very sweet and friendly. Our food came quickly and was delicious. My soup was hot and so good, one of my favorites, and the salad was fresh and crisp. The hubby's turkey sandwich looked so good! I wanted to take a bite, but me and bread are no longer friends so I just had to imagine how good his sandwich tasted. He said it was good, the turkey was moist, bacon was crisp and just as I thought, the bread was the best part. My hubby's only complaint was his chocolate chip cookie didn't taste like cookies from other Panera locations. He said it was good but missing something. In all a great first experience at this newer location. read more

Living walking distance to Panera is a blessing and a curse. I love bread. And bagels. Mornings are best. Fresh bread and pastries. And the service is always above average. Also, I registered for the Panera points and regularly get a coffee or extra pastry. read more

Bru yall getting paid more than most people and still can't get a darn order right. I come here strictly just for drinks, here and there I'll get a bagel but those days are over. read more

Updated this review to 3 stars as it was actually open at 6 AM on the Monday after news years... while every other area Panera didn't open until much later. Yes, they get credit for showing up... half of life is just showing up! Walked in, 7:20 AM, bins are full of bagels, asked to buy a bagel and was informed "oh, sorry, we are not selling any bagels today." Now I could explain further but there is something seriously wrong with your business model... or the way this one location is being run... if you are in the business of selling bagels and you can not accommodate a single bagel purchase. Yes, ok, they had a large bagel pack order that wiped out their inventory (though all the bins were full as were trays behind them) but they also failed to offer any alternative. Like "can I offer you a pastry or a free coffee for your inconvenience." Nada, nothing but blank stares. So, yeah for them, they sold out their limited inventory (why so limited?) but they will now disappoint every other customer that walks into their location today. So, satisfied a single customer and pissed off everyone else. That sheds a bit of light on why this location has such a low Yelp rating. Which reminds me of the 6 P's... Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance... obviously no one at this location understand that principle. All for now folks, I need to go find a bagel. read more

2nd time getting iced coffee and I don't taste coffee it's like cream and water I'm definitely canceling my coffee membership read more

Panera Bread - I had to add instant coffee at home otherwise it was cream and water - Soup Near Me - Rialto, California

worst panera everytime i come to this specific one they mess up my order. Definitely didn't get what I PAYED for so disappointing.

The food was horrible I order a flatbread pizza it was hard I didn't have enough chicken and it was cold The service was not friendly and the restaurant was dirty I will not recommend it to anyone don't go there and they just open it was a disappointment I will never visit their location again read more

This Panera has the worse service, I ordered through the app and the order wasn't ready at the time listed. That wasn't the problem, they pass you a cup with no lid and ice and sugar syrup and say you have to self serve yourself iced coffee. I wanted to love this location since it's on my way to work, I hope the customer service and interaction improves. read more

Finally tried this place as I was anxious to see a new business in our area. What a huge disappointment. Staff was very rude and food was terrible. I ordered the flatbread and it came out undercooked, I ask if they can remake it and of course I received an attitude and what she did was toasted back up and it came out burnt. So sad that it's a brand new business and there's no proper training. I wished there would of been another business that would of came into Rialto that would be worth supporting. read more

The first time I got Panera bread I got a hair in my Mac n cheese but was giving them a shot , but today I went and got the chipotle chicken and bacon flatbread pizza and I found plastic I almost chocked on it !!! This is very disgusting and disappointing. read more

Well after reading the rest of these reviews, it seems I should expect the poor service I continue to receive at this Panera location. THE DRIVE THRU IS NEVER OPEN. I have been here 3 times with cones blocking drive thru. I have also been through the drive thru once and when I got to the window to pay was told they no longer had what I ordered. Like what? And now, again, Monday morning. Drive thru not open. Asked an "employee" sitting outside eating is they were open, yes we are open, what about drive thru? Not enough staff. Don't go here. read more

If you go to drive thru, check the taped up bag before leaving. I just came back home and my bbq chicken sandwich is missing. No need to tape up bags for drive thru orders. Covid days are long gone. Just make sure you check the bags before giving them to us. Waste of gas to drive back now read more

Went through drive through to order the salad. The person asked if I wanted chicken on my salad at which point I responded yes. I then asked for additional salad dressings. I get my bag, no salad dressings so I walk inside. Didn't think to check my salad. I get home and get my salad and of course no chicken as if they didn't even check the order. I called and of course the are closed. So now I have to pay for dinner twice tonight. This is ridiculous. read more

Bad experience on my first try of Panera, Drive thru order. Finally decided to give this place a try since is new and I see these restaurants a lot. This is a shopping center that's been upgraded with new business and it was exciting a Panera would open here. Got to the drive Thru and the girl sounded friendly and asked if a had a Panera rewards and I said no, this is actually my first time at Panera, The menu looks very tentative, everything sounds good, so I ordered Half BBQ chicken sandwich,half strawberry poppyseed salad a bowl of teriyaki chicken and a cup of broccoli cheddar. Got to the window and was charged $28.66 for what I ordered, didn't get a receipt so I assumed it would be in the bag with my order. Got home and realized I was missing the soup, I looked for the receipt but there was none. Hot day but I was craving the soup so I got back in my car and drive back to the store. I explained the girl what happened and she just went to get the soup for me. I asked her if I could get a copy of the receipt and she got it for me with just a simple Sorry about that" Got home to try the food and everything cold but was actually tasty. I read the receipt and I started laughing at the top part of it where it says : ACCURACY MATTERS just the fact that I had leave the house to go back to the restaurant is worth 0 starts alone, but the salad was good and you can't leave less than one so 1 it is. A little expensive for what you get, but I guess if you eat it at the right temperatures it would be worth the money. Unfortunately today wasn't the case. read more

I enjoyed my Green Goddess salad, tea and cookie. I was a bit overwhelmed with the whole checkin and order process as I'm a senior citizen and it took awhile to process and I never figured out how to enter my rewards card info but I appreciated the clean and friendly environment. I'll be back! read more

Very inconsistent food. Utterly unacceptable. This place is not consistent all. Everything looks different than other Panera breads. They are not serious. It's a joke. read more

They screw up the order everytime. Its insane. Worst service of all time. It sucks. Super slow as well.

Great food and great service . I was welcomed with a warm hello upon arriving . It was clean and quiet , I was there to catch up on some work and I was able to do that . read more

So apparently they close the drive thru when they don't have enough employees. Second time Ive went and the drive thru was closed. Starting to upset me, Not everyone can get out the car and walk inside to order. read more

I've never experienced anything like this. Absolutely the worst service. We have been sitting in the drive through line for 15 minutes. We are stuck and can't leave. Not a brain cell in these peoples heads. Disaster, stay far away. read more

I love their soups and vegetarian options. I hate they stopped selling the 10 veggie soup but the tomato is really good with the grilled cheese. Kids love the Flatbread pizza and smoothies. read more

On 11/29/23, around 11:30 am, I decided to treat myself to Panera Bread located on Riverside Avenue in Rialto near the 10 freeway. I was greeted by Emily with a welcoming smile as I entered the casual restaurant . I was not familiar with the menu other than bagels and cream cheese. Emily suggested a few top selling soups, salads and sandwiches, and the pick 2. The food was fresh and served with a smile from another near by taller counter. I was amazed at the professionalism as I, observed positive interaction with the manager and one of the team members. I was soon greeted by a passing manager. The food was amazing and the restaurant was clean. I will be back soon to try the turkey chili. read more

Had a tuna sandwich from Panera bread. The tuna was good but not enough for the price. The sandwich was huge but it was the filler's, 4 slices of large tomatoes, and a big portion of the greens piled on that made the sandwich appear to be filled with tuna. I was happy with the taste of the tuna but disappointed with the small portion of tuna. read more

It's really over priced. 1.60 per cream cheese cup? Umm? Here's the thing, I bought the bagel, you expect me to eat it without cream cheese? Price gouging at its finest. It's pretty dirty. Dusty furniture, the workers take multiple breaks and just don't seem to care that much. They sit during their breaks and I've never seen anyone clean a table. I got the Cobb salad last night and my apple was very bruised and scratched. Takes forever for salad orders to come out. The steak and cheddar sandwich has maybe 2 ounces of steak in the entire sandwich. They skimp on portions. They gave me a half order salad instead of a full order but put it in a full order bowl just so it looked like more than it was. read more

Great food. Love the beef and cheese sandwich. And had the cheddar broccoli soup. Great service.

I was very excited for this Panera to open since it's right by the gym! There hot coffee is self-serve even if you order ahead for rapid pick up which I've never experienced at any other Panera from Palm Desert to Pasadena but the most frustrating thing is I ordered an iced coffee yesterday and was told it was also self serve... So what happens when you add scolding hot coffee to a cup of ice? Of course! It melts!! I'm hoping these are merely flukes because they are a new store and hopefully they will take notes from all of the other stores that pour everything and have it ready for their customers... I called corporate (No Yelp page had been created until I created one just now) and they said they would send my feedback to the store. I will continue to visit this store since it's right here close to me but I will also continue to complain if something doesn't change... at least with the iced coffee. If not then please take "iced coffee" off the menu since it is in actuality lukewarm coffee with zero ice. read more

Really terrible customer service. It's never pleasant coming here, but its the closest one to my house. Hopefully they get some good people in there. read more

Haven't had a problem with the food here so far. The issue I have is with the mess on the floor, the tables ALL being dirty, the restroom had no toilet paper or paper towels to dry your hands. The restroom floor was so sticky that my shoes literally made a noise when I walked out. I know it may be under staffed possibly but to have a new build/restaurant look like that is uncalled for. Take pride in your location please. Especially during these times. Wipe everything down once in a while. Take 10 mins to send one person to wipe tables, sweep and fill the necessities. I don't want to think about what the kitchen looks like!? read more
