This is located in the Safeway parking lot next to their gasoline station and a bank. This Panera is one of the cleanest I have been too. The employees here are always so nice, with a the smile whenever they greet you. I come here for the unlimited coffee and sometimes freshly baked goods or sandwiches. This is where you should go, if you need a workplace, or have school work. The wifi connection is always fast and very reliable! A+ for amenities, food, service, and bathrooms! read more

Let me start off by saying that service was fantastic. Absolutely lovely people eager to help early in the morning. The place is clean and has plenty of seating options and parking. Will a Panera bread knock your socks off food wise? No. But you shouldn't expect that. Easy and fast breakfast with friendly service. read more

I'm having a hard time justifying eating at Panera anymore. The prices are so high and the value just isn't there. The food is okay and relatively consistent, but paying $40 for a sandwich, salad, and two drinks is just not worth it. My green goddess salad tasted great, but would pass on the chicken bacon rancher. read more

Stopped into Panera Bread for dinner last night even though we had every intention of eating at Sourdough and Co. instead. Panera is open until 9pm during the week and we wanted to sit down and eat so we decided on Panera. Staff was friendly upon entering and was very helpful on how to order on their menu kiosk. We ordered the Spicy Fiesta Chicken Sandwich, the Grilled Cheese and the Toasted Italiano Sandwich. All of the contents of the Spicy Fiesta Chicken Sandwich were falling out each time I took a bite - chicken bites and corn kernels. The flavor was okay - I did get a hint of spice at the end, but overall I wasn't that impressed. My husband liked his sandwich, but my daughter did not like hers and she's a tough critic. The chips were good that came with each of our orders though. Overall, Panera is not my first choice. I've never been a huge fan unless I'm in a pinch (like last night). The inside wasn't the cleanest and there were a couple of homeless people hanging out inside which I thought was odd -- not sure why they allowed them to stay. There was also a worker inside the women's bathroom cleaning it, but when I went to wash my hands, they were completely out of paper towels -- seems like that should be something that they check. Not sure if I'll be back anytime soon! read more

I've always loved Panera. It's consistent, clean, and tastes good. My favorite is their autumn squash soup, which is seasonal. Recently I came here and there was no pumpkin seeds and cream garnishing the soup as it had in the past. Still tasted great. Got half soup half grilled cheese sandwich. That was tasty as well. read more

My go to sandwich is the smoke house bbq chicken on a ciabatta roll. Ordering was easy through their mobile app. I even got a 30% discount as one of their rewards. I did modify my sandwich by adding extra items but they forgot to. It still tastes good. It was a busy day when I went. read more

We love our neighborhood Panera. My go to place for soups and salads. We've always had great service. Not a long wait for pick up orders and they will communicate if they are taking longer than usual if they are busy. It does feel like a neighborhood cafe. People are comfortable and are not hurried meeting up with friends, family, business, etc. Truly a third place. Thank you. read more

I know Panera has always been pricey, but come on this small container of mac & cheese for eight dollars if you're gonna charge this much at least fill it up!! Not to mention I ordered this and when I got my order, it wasn't included so I ended up having to wait more. Can you imagine my disappointment when I opened the container? read more

This is my go to place for coffee, every morning. I love their bagels. I'm bummed that they removed choc chip bagel and flatbread from their menu. The staffs are very friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is good. Often times they do 20% off of gift cards or buy $50, get $10 bonus card. Recently they started doing mail coupons. read more

It may be the problem with food in this nation. Sugar seems to be in everything. Just returned from Europe. I ordered butternut squash soup and half of a turkey with bacon avocado and lettuce. The soup. Was so sweet, it tasted like cream sugar. The sandwich was made sloppy and not appetizing at all, Panera has always been a goto for me because of the quality of it food. I was disappointed with my last order. read more

Panera Bread - Above & Beyond! Just had one of the best experiences I've ever had at a Panera Bread--and it's all thanks to Chris behind the counter. From the moment I walked in, he was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made me feel welcome. You could tell he took pride in his work, and it showed in every detail. I ordered the chicken avocado sandwich, and let me tell you--absolute perfection. The flavors were fresh, balanced, and packed with that warm, satisfying comfort you hope for in every bite. Paired that with a giant cinnamon roll (because why not?), and it was honestly the best I've ever had--gooey, soft, just the right sweetness. I grabbed some chips and a large drink to round it out, and everything hit the spot. Chris didn't just serve food--he elevated the entire experience. It's rare to find someone who makes fast-casual dining feel this personal and polished. Panera, give this man a raise. If every visit was like this, I'd never eat anywhere else. read more

This location has really gone downhill. The floor has been sticky or dirty on several occasions. The tables are not always the cleanest. This particular time I went, the cashier was super slow. And it wasn't a slow like she's new and doesn't know what she's doing yet, it was a slow like maybe she was high or something. they got my order wrong twice. And the sandwich that they did get right, is what you see in the picture....Burnt and gross. my broccoli and cheddar soup that is normally thick and creamy, was super watery and bland. Maybe they just had an off night. Idk. I won't be going back to find out. read more

This is by far the worst Panera I've been to. Ordered ahead on the mobile app, I showed up 5 minutes late past my pick up time and it still wasn't ready. I waited an additional 15 minutes. I was also watching my name quickly drop from the top of the "your order is coming up" to having six other orders finish before mine despite ordering after me. But it wasn't actually waiting there that got me upset. What upset me was that when I got home to open my sandwich, I see a sandwich half-assed with my avocado not even in the sandwich! If you're going to take additional time, I'd expect all the ingredients to actually be in the sandwich and not on the parchment paper. And then the turkey meat is just a clump of meat, not even spread out. At least at other sandwich places, the employees take the time to break the meat apart and spread it. Slow, sloppy service. read more

Panera Bread - Thanks for putting the avocado not inside my sandwich. - Sandwiches Near Me - Sacramento, California

My husband went to Panera this morning, and arrived before 10:00 am. The only thing I like from here are the baked soufflés...and apparently, so does everyone else. They are NEVER available, no matter how early we get there. They refuse to make more, even though they are so popular and sell out early. Today he was told that they were sold out by 8:30! While he waited for bagels to go, the clock turned 10:30, and the cashier immediately shut down breakfast. Two people had been waiting in line well before then, and were refused any breakfast items. So they left.. Our second choice were bagels, and those were even slim pickings. Only ONE plain bagel left, as well as some sweet types. Panera needs to work on their business strategy & plan. Why are you refusing customers that had been waiting in line to order, even though you still have breakfast items? Why aren't you making enough of your most popular item (baked soufflés), so you aren't sold out by 8:30AM? I have so many questions. I'm done with Panera. The bagels weren't even that good. read more

Excellent service by Jasaeyah. I love their Rustic Sour Dough Bread and their Irange Scones. Management needs to figure out a better system for filling orders for in person dining orders and online orders. My in person order took over 15+ minutes to fill. My name kept dropping lower on the public viewing order screen. It was #3 then it dropped to #6. I was told it was because people ordered online before me. That is unacceptable. Figure out a better way to efficiently and timely fill in person dining room orders. read more

I didn't ask for 6 dressings and pretty disappointed it meant receiving 3 ounces of lettuce and 2 ounces of berries. A lot of places pack dressings on the outside of the container but this is one way to do it. read more

Restaurant was clean, service was good and we received our breakfast food fast! We would definitely eat here again.

Came to Panera to get breakfast and was highly encouraged to use the kiosk so we did because she said it would be faster but then she was helping people who were getting service much faster so that didn't seem right. There was a lack of communication between staff who was giving me the pastry so I had to go ask the other side to get it. I had to tell them the other side sent me. The restaurant was clean and overall food was good. read more

Panera Bread has been a recent lifesaver! I love the offers that they send out for discounts on food, items and drinks, and that really helps while many of us are tightening our belts due to increases all over the place. This location has super friendly staff members, and I'm always greeted with a smile. It helps to smile back :-) I have a few places in the area that I love as my go to getaway spots when working on a project, or meeting with colleagues. Parking is free and there's plenty of it. My recent favorite go to is the half sandwich with soup. They have their standard go to like broccoli and cheese, which is pretty tasty along with a varied chicken soup and some others. I try to always check out their specials to try something new. I'm rarely disappointed . The half sandwich and soup is definitely a pretty full meal, and I can enjoy my lunch for well under $15. I love that they're willing to make changes and adjustments to the sandwich whether it be to add on some extra veggies, or extra protein, or remove some thing that I'm just not feeling that day. The inside of the restaurant is kept pretty clean, and it's always easy to find a table to enjoy a meal at. Diner tip: make sure you download the app and use it to check in/scan so that you can acquire those points for those yummy treats! read more

They provided us with Good customer service with smile and assistance on how we wanted our bread cut.

This Panera is great! Everyone is so kind and pleasant. I ordered food to the wrong location - they were able to accommodate my order - even when they were busy! The manager April was so helpful and team lead Treyvon assisted in making the order perfect. Great location. Love this place. read more

The location is great. It's in a shopping center near Safeway with plenty of options nearby like a gas station, a grocery store, a dentist, and many restaurant options. There is a massive parking lot so parking shouldn't be an issue here. I'm giving it extra points for being so close to my home. This store seems to always be very busy, no matter what time you come. The lines are often out the door and it can take up to 25+ minutes to receive your meal. The staff is friendly and attentive. They might seem to work slow but that is only because they have such a large volume of people ordering at what seems to be all hours of the day. The prices are a little steep but you know what you're paying for when you come to a Panera. You will most likely walk out of here for around $30 for a meal for two making this a $$$ for me. The portion sizes are good, it's one of the few restaurants that doesn't skimp you on serving sizes. I've never had anything besides the bagels and cookies (which are amazing) here but I decided to try some of the other options on the menu. The pizza is top tier, I'd say it's one of the best chain pizzas I've ever had. The salad was also bursting with flavor. The pumpkin chowder was a unique flavor. It was a new flavor that I have never had before. Although I don't think I'd get it again, it still was splendid to try once. The chicken sandwich was also phenomenal, almost on par with a Chik-fil-a sandwhich. Their bagels/bread selection are all really good. They do flavor here like no other establishment. Bottom line/TLDR: great restaurant with many food choices overall. read more

Service is always 5 star, and we have never had an issue with our order. We love coming to this location.

I have been coming here for years. The agave lemonade is great. I just tried their new charged drinks and they are great- I have thought about Getting the drink subscription for the summer - May be worth it since the drinks are about $4ish dollars and you can come multiple times a day for it!! I believe the subscription is $11 a month! Plenty of seating for a quick healthy bite. Great place to study. They have new kiosks for ordering or you can order from the front person. read more

What a bizarre experience at Panera today. First, I've been to many different Paneras across the country. It is always my "go to" place for a decent, quick salad. My son was in town from the East coast and was staying near the airport, so I brought him to this Panera for lunch at about 12:45 pm. Lunchtime, right? I've had food from this particular location dozens of times - always a good experience. Today, however, they were out of lettuce. Half of their menu is salads and they are out of lettuce? I kept clicking on different salads....nope - I could still order a salad, but without the lettuce. Cognitive dissonance set in. :-) So, OK - I found a sandwich that sounded OK. Bar-b-que chicken sandwich and an iced tea. My son ordered a chipotle chicken avocado melt sandwich and an iced coffee. Of course, there was hardly anyone in the place because....well, they were out of most of their food. We waited longer than usual and finally got our food. Son said his chipotle chicken was pretty good. I'm glad. My sandwich was some bar-b-q sauce on a dry bun with a wee bit of chicken and some cheese and onion. It was horrible. On the positive side - the place was very clean. Cleaner than most of the Paneras I've seen lately. Staff was nice enough. Iced tea and coffee was very good. Here is my take. I've always really liked Panera. If they are having to cut back due to higher wages and expenses, I really would rather pay a bit more and get a nice salad like I used to be able to get. I'm hoping this was just a bad day. read more

In general, Panera Bread is a healthier fast food chain. They have some pretty delicious, real food, items without many preservatives or chemicals if you know what to get. Tried one of their new flatbreads, the Margherita Flatbread pizza - made with what flour,extra virgin olive oil, mozzarella cheese, natural basil, diced tomatoes -- really not a lot of nasty ingredients. Would be better if they used whole wheat flour, but, it's already pretty good for a fast food chain restaurant. It's packed with flavor from the tomatoes sauce, cheese and basil. I did not feel yucky, bloated or food comatosed afterwards. Would recommend trying this. read more

I truly don't mean to be a Karen but I am left with no choice but to complain. I was definitely expecting more ingredients as advertised on their website. I am really disappointed. This is not worth $12. I don't know if it's because of the workers at this specific location or if other locations do exactly the same. But this is really unacceptable and very disappointing. If I were to serve this back to them I'm sure they would feel the same. read more
