Fatima and Belle provided us the best customer service today. They had listened to how we wanted our bread cut. Thank you.

This is my go to Panera location when I'm in Natomas. Service is fast both in person or online. I normally do the rapid order, it's just more convenient. My go to order is their avocado, egg white and tomato breakfast sandwich. But I also love their bowls as well! read more

The Croissant Toast, Mexican Street corn chowder, it was all amazing! and thank you to the very patient and kind manager working this location. we all appreciate you and your kind energy. read more

I wish there was a minus star because I came in tonight and ordered a Smokey Buffalo sandwich and got all the way home opened it up and there were literally two pieces of chicken and a squirt of sauce, three slices of onion and nothing else on my sandwich! The worst sandwich I have ever had in my life. I attempted to call and got no answer. Someone has to be held accountable for this. In these times of outrageous prices you'd expect to at least get what you paid for. Very disappointing. read more

Great food and great service. Nice quiet music. Food came fast. The floor was clean. They had a good menu. Nothing was out they had fresh bakery items. It was a great experience. read more

Panera Bread is just overpriced hospital food to me. It's quick, it's easy, the portions are mostly lackluster and the food is just meh. I've given Panera Bread many a shot - many. Here and a few other branches as well. It's the same all over the place. I've learned to stop coming because it's expensive, not even remotely worth it, and they get my order wrong more than half the time (which sounds like a common issue). I don't understand why people love this place so much. read more

Great service, employees are always helpful if we ever have an issue with our order. This is a great spot after spending a long day at the park. read more

Good tasting food, feels healthy not fast food . The portions are good and love the drinks they have . The bread is delish. Good service too. 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

I'm not sure if I've eaten at a Panera before, but I've tried their sandwiches and salads (catering). I didn't know what to order, but decided to get the sausage & pepperoni flatbread pizza. They were advertising this new menu item. It was average. When I took a bite of pizza, all the toppings would start sliding off. What I really enjoyed was the kitchen sink cookie- om nom nom! I would definitely come back for that alone. read more

The young lady and older lady are very rude won't be coming here anymore every time I come here they have a attitude they making faces like they are irritated and don't want to be there owner of this location please talk to your employees read more

Best sandwiches ever!!! Had the turkey bacon and avocado sandwich and I was very happy. Bread was fresh and delicious read more

Excellent Panera , they take great pride in it . It's a really nice study space . Staff is too notch . Mark was kind and offered lots of suggestions . It was clean , kitchen was quick and clean . I'll return read more

I like the food here. It is yummy, great, and delicious. the people here are great. So nice. I love the vibe, great for studying.

I've been here about 5-6 times over the last several months. Each time, I always try to greet the staff and ask how they're doing before they take my order. However, I'm always met with a sour attitude and no interest in giving a warm welcome. It's really disturbing so I don't think I'll be back. For what it's worth, I do think the staff working on the food itself seem to be pleasant. Will take my business to Sourdough & Co. nextdoor where they are much friendlier and happy to see people supporting their shop. read more

I am not a huge fan of this location. While the cookie cutter store is clean, orderly and smells of delicious baked bread, I have yet to get an order that is correct. It doesn't seem to matter if you order on the app or in person, count on your drink being different than ordered and food missing key ingredients. While some of the staff seem really friendly, a few have acted confrontational when asked for a missing (already paid for) item. The coffee is hot, the bagels tasty, and if you get your food intact, decent for the price. read more

They took over 1 hour too not even make our food! Will not go to this Panera anytime soon

What the hell has happened to Panera??!! This chain used to be good, bigger pastries, larger portions....employees that cared about how your food was prepped and packaged. No longer the case. About 5 years ago after noticing an obvious subpar product all of a sudden being served, i was told by an manager that they had switched providers/vendors for all their bread and pastries. It was such an obvious downgrade, probably saving money while still charging the same if not greater price to their customers. Well nothing has changed. Just put an online order in totaling $50. I dont mind paying for a great experience, good food etc. But i cant remember feeling this ripped off! Small cup of mac and cheese :$8! Can you at least fill the small cup? Not 1/2 filled like it was. Couldnt believe it. My wife's sandwhich (chicken avacado melt) upon viewing it looked like 2 pieces of bread with nothing in it! And thats because there was barely anything in it! Almost $12 for that and what looked like a child's size soup. To top it off i needed 1 cinnamon roll. Online said "out of stock". Yet their 4 pack for nearly $12 was IN Stock..?? The disappointment came while looking in the bag and seeing 4 individually bagged cinnamon rolls, all with the bags smashed into the icing. Thought they were out of the single ones?? I bought 4 only needing one. Nice moves Panera. Glad i checked the bag since only 3 of the 5 items were in it as well. Also, its a bad sign when no Mgr, GM etc are responding to their negative reviews on yelp. Panera, you do not care about your food quality, serving sizes, costs, and more importantly your customers. Wish we had a rewind button to go back to when Panera actually tasted like a fresh alternative. Now its just a cookie cutter, run of the mill place. Sad really. My family and i will never enter another Panera bread. And unlike your food, i guarantee it. read more

I have been going weekly for work. Most of the times that I go no one greets you. Most of the time they push you to use their ipads to order. They are not welcoming, they don't want to talk to you but they are happy to leave their tip jar out. read more

I spent my entire break at this location waiting for fruit cup! They are normally in the refrigerated case, but not this morning. When I ordered it, there was no indication from the staff that "we are making fruit cups" or "we are out of fruit cups". Instead I waited and waited. Finally, I asked for a refund. Also, I want to say I feel bad for Rebecca, the cashier, for the way she was treated by the female manager on duty at 7am. The manager was condescending, rude and disrespectful in the way she communicated with Rebecca. I find this unacceptable, unprofessional, and a poor reflection of Panera's ability to identify and train management team members, Rebecca, you deserve better. read more

Wish I could give negative 10 stars. I don't like Panera, their soups are loaded with salt. The food prep people don't give a crap about the food they put out. Today I made the stupid decision to go there. $10 for a bacon, tomato, grilled cheese sandwich. There wasn't a drop of bacon, not a drop. The sandwich wasn't grilled, the cheese wasn't even melted. So disappointing. read more

Panera Bread - Crappy non bacon having ungrilled cheese. So called sandwich. - Sandwiches Near Me - Sacramento, California

Consistently good food and great service. I like this Panera over the one in front of Target. It has a welcoming inviting dining area, kinda has a cozy home feel. They keep it clean. Love the fireplace that they turn on during the cold California winter days. Awesome outdoor patio with tables and patio umbrellas to enjoy the outdoors, but they don't have outdoor heaters for the colder weather. Dog friendly patio. Free WiFi and lots of electric outlets inside. Fresh baked loaves of breads, danishes, and cookies. Decent coffee and bagels. Fresh made to order salads and sandwiches. Soups and pastas. Breakfast sandwiches and mini quiches. My faves are the chocolate chip bagel and whipped cream cheese, turkey chili, Greek salad, chicken salad sandwich, and tri tip and arugula sandwich. The side choices for the combinations are bagged chips, slice of baguette, or whole apple. Appreciate the options. Overall the pricing is higher than a Subway, but cheaper than a restaurant. However this is a order and pay at the counter place, and you pick up your own food. Frequent flyers should sign up for the rewards program. You can order using the app. If you are in the store, you can choose to order in the self help checkout kiosk (card payments only, no cash) or talk to a human person. I like the human touch. Plus the staff are pretty friendly folk. read more

We ordered take out as we were staying in a nearby hotel. I always order the Apple chicken salad in other Panara Bread Restaurants as they are always fresh and very good. I will never order from the Natomas Panara again, the salad was anything but fresh. I threw out most of the lettuce as it was brown and wilted, the tomatoes were shriveled, the red onion was also limp and brown, and the chicken was processed. They just threw the slice of bread in the bag with our other items. Pretty tacky. If you ever go to Portland, the one in Clackamas Town Center is exceptional. They always have fresh food. This was such a big disappointment! read more

Omg - this Panera is horrible! My wife order food for pickup and I made a couple of stops along the way, figuring it would be ready by the time I got there...oh no, not only was it not ready (pickup/ready time was 12:35 - I was there at 12:50) but the staff did not seem to care. People were milling about coming up to the counter asking if there food was ready. Now - I understand everywhere these days are short staffed, I get it. I am always nice to people working in restaurants because it's a hard job dealing with people all the time. That being said - it's probably a good idea to treat the customers with at least a little bit of common courtesy. I mean offer me a free soda or something for not having my food ready on time and making me wait - and the side order of attitude (the I'm too good for this job Gen Z crap) plus the wife left a tip! They don't give a crap....avoid this place! read more

Stale croissant. Strange policy on breakfast sandwich. "We are only allowed to serve sandwich with over easy egg." "May I have over hard?" "No." This location is in serious trouble and needs adult supervision. read more

Panera Bread - Cold undercooked sandwich and stale crossiant. Nope! - Sandwiches Near Me - Sacramento, California

Visited just before noon on a Saturday and almost every menu item needed some sort of substitution because of missing breads or ingredients. Ordered our daughter a kids Mac n cheese and it was sent out with about half the portion that we normally receive at Panera. For $7, that's a huge disappointment. The only saving grace is that the sugar cookies were 50% off, but still had an alert of low quantities available. read more

stopped for lunch here on my way to downtown Sacramento. tried using the Pick 2 computer menu but gave up. Very confusing. Just ordered a Turkey sandwich with a drink and a side of chips. Food was good. Place is clean. Parking is a nightmare. read more

I've been to a few Paneras. This one has very polite and professional staff. The line was kind of long though for only 1 cashier. Other than that everything was good standard Panera for me. I finally joined the My Panera rewards program & got me a free cookie which was nice. read more

Panera Bread - My usual order the You Pick Two. Steak & Arugala sandwich and Broccoli Cheddar soup! - Sandwiches Near Me - Sacramento, California

Review ko ito: My wife & I try to avoid coming to this place because of the manager, but if we have to because of the convenience, we would go but always hoping we don't have to deal with this lady. This morning, I came in to have a quick to-go order of their Tuesday bagels & coffee. After 10 minutes of waiting, I followed up to find out that my order was totally forgotten. It was ok at first, I have high tolerance for little setbacks like that, and the cashier was apologetic. However, instead of apologizing for her employees' misunderstanding, the manager on duty gave me the worst attitude. She blatantly reprimanded me in front of the employees and other customers for "stepping on the line", which was a total lie. Instead of pacifying the situation, she made it worse. This time, I didn't let her get away with her bad attitude. I yelled back at her for always being rude (to us). I don't know if other patrons experience the same rudeness and wintry attitude from this specific manager. The manager at this store (cafe #202202) has the worst customer service. She is not needed at a place like this. The higher ups need to come and reassess this manager and observe this particular person themselves. read more

I love the breakfast offerings that Panera has and felt like a breakfast sandwich which you can choose one that is on the menu or you can build your own. I ordered the Asiago bagel with scrambled eggs, cheese and bacon. I also love their chocolate croissants. The chocolate is not just chunks like some but looks piped in and the chocolate is not too sweet. Their food is always fresh. If you are a member of their program you also earn rewards for eating good food. read more

The restaurant itself is located in the marketplace plaza where there is an abundance of parking. Inside, the ac is on, a great way to avoid the 100+ degree temp this weekend. Even at lunch time on a weekend, there was no line and there were an abundance of tables available. The food came out within 5 mins. However, I would have rather waited longer for a better quality meal. The food: I ordered from the pick 2 menu and had a roasted turkey and avocado BLT paired with their new england clam chowder. The sandwich was just cold and the avocado was browning. Some changes I would make to that if given the option are: - use fresh avocado - toast or heat up the bacon instead of using precooked ones for extra yumminess - toast the sourdough bread If these extra steps were taken, I feel like my money would have been more worth my money and I would come back to order it again. Maybe I'll stick to panini's. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the soup. There wasn't any sand and the soup was flavorful and not too watery. It went really well with the baguette. This is something I would come back for in the future. read more

I used to love going here for a quick and convienent meal when I was in college. It has been awhile since and I was craving the chicken frontega panini and creamy tomato soup. First, I noticed that the menu changed to chicken frontega (toasted). I assumed that is the same consistent chicken frontega panini and boy was I wrong. I wish I had a picture of what it looked like before, but it used to have grill marks from the panini machine. It looks like they use the same focaccia bread but it just doesn't taste the same. The tomato soup used to taste homemade, but on my latest visit it tasted like store bought can tomato soup. I am so disappointed in the quality. I hope this was just an off day. I will not likely come back for lunch as it was less than mediocre in my opinion for an $11 pick two meal. However, I might come back and check out the breakfast menu. I hope that one is just as good as I remembered. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Sacramento, California

On June 3, 2022 ordered two Fuji Apple Salads takeout. Two most important ingredients were missing. No chicken at all. No pecans at all. Only greens. Looks like the preparer simply dumped some salad leaves and closed the lid. On June 9, 2022 ordered two Citrus Asian Crunch Salad with Chicken takeout. Grassy greens. The chicken pieces quite few in number were leathery; maybe in their cold storage for months. Panera Bread was not like this before. Something is quite wrong with them. read more

I'm so disappointed that they're probably never going to bring the jalapeño cheddar bagel back. it's so sad that Panera gets rid of good stuff that everybody likes, they should get the crappy stuff off the menu, at least Panera is decent. read more

If your mexican i don't recommend it . It's too expensive, nasty, no flavor 1/10 is the only thing tasteful was the green juice.

My unit at work does a great job of maintaining employing morale by recognizing and celebrating staff birthdays. On one particular occasion, a co-worker of mine had an upcoming birthday and specifically asked that we not make a "big deal" of his birthday. Being that coffee is generally a universal beverage of choice for most celebrations, I decided that a coffee traveler box would be my "small time" contribution towards the celebration. The morning of the celebration, I called this Panera Bread location (not to be confused with the Panera Bread located on North Freeway Blvd. within The Promenade) and placed an order for a coffee traveler box that would serve up to twelve people. I was told that the traveler box would be ready in thirty minutes. Thirty minutes later, I was paying for the coffee traveler and observed the manager (whom I spoke to on the phone) pouring a fresh batch of light roast coffee into the traveler box (perfect timing). Not only was the coffee piping hot (the word "piping" cracks me up for some reason); but the manager also went the extra mile and provided me with eight coffee cups, coffee cup sleeves, coffee cup lids, sugar packets, and an assortment of creamers. Exceptional, expedited customer service...now that is my cup of coffee (yes I am corny)! read more
