    The wait in line was very very long. No explanation. They missed a few small items in our order.

    Rustic Sourdough Loaf split lengthwise(not what I wanted) just requested thin sliced. Dark Roast Coffee.
    Renée M.

    I am part of the Unlimited Sips Club so I frequent this location at least 4-5x/week. Today I ordered a Rustic Sourdough Bread that was split lengthwise(not what I wanted) but was the last loaf according to the employee behind the p/u counter. This is the 2nd time this has happened in 2 weeks. The first time I was in the cafe & ordered it on the kiosk as "thin sliced". When my order was ready, I noticed it was split lengthwise as I walked to my car? I returned & told the employees by the p/u counter. The manager was there & told me it wasn't the right item. He took it back & proceeded to get another loaf & sliced it himself on the slicing machine. He apologized but made it right. Today, I ordered the bread online for p/u and also picked up a Dark Roast coffee once I arrived. I went to the counter & noticed the loaf was cut lengthwise again! The employee told me it was the last loaf so dismayed, I took it for a couple of reasons. One was because I already redeemed a -$2 coupon on a sourdough loaf and secondly, because we're having below freezing temps the next few days. I love the taste & texture of the bread so I'll keep purchasing it from Panera but I won't order it online anymore. I think I'll have to order it at the counter so I can specify the way I want it sliced. I wish the ordering system would've prompted me or even a text.

    Pre-frozen or curdled cream cheese..... disgusting.
    Jerra P.

    Two stars because the manager refunded our money. Never again though.... She said they don't freeze their cream cheese. In that case, it's rotten. Not a big fan of putting gritty rotten cream cheese in my mouth. Are you? Expiration on the cream cheese was June 2022. Today is April 30 2022. We've been here a few times and even though there were several mistakes where our orders were wrong, we continued to stop in occasionally when we don't feel like driving to our favorite bagel place. Today will for sure be the last time.

    Tomato soup
    Heather S.

    Tomato soup was full of flavor.. a little to thick for me though. I also order a grilled cheese the bread was very hard. The broccoli cheddar was was 10/10 with some chips to dip into. The service was fast the cashier was very helpful. Restaurant slightly clean. Needing some touching up.

    Iced chai latte... super gross.
    Brittany P.

    I went there today around 8:55 am and got in the drive thru with 2 cars ahead of me. After waiting 30 mins I finally left at 9:25. I ordered a iced chai latte and it was pure milk with a small amount of chai flavoring at the bottom. It was completely disgusting. After waiting so long I would expect my sandwich to At least be hot but it was so cold. Obviously it sat for a while and so they had me waiting at the window so long for what? The service here is completely unpredictable. A few months back they had me pull to a spot to wait for my food and then they forgot about me. I had to call the store from my car. They said they would be refunding me but I never received it. At this point I am done with this location.

    This is my favorite Panera in town. Honestly I love the people I love the environment they're very kind to me always friendly always remember my face and always greet me I through and through love going to this Panera. What can I say the people over here just have a shitty attitude they make the worst of a good situation, but I would highly recommend this place

    Spicy Fiesta Chicken

    This place should really go out of business. I ordered a soup and a half sandwich, 25 minutes in the drive thru. Not only that, the worker asked me to repeat my order three separate times at the window. 25 minutes for them to assemble this piece of crap sandwich... dry and nasty. I should've asked for a refund but that would've taken them another 25 minutes to figure out. I wouldn't even feed this crap to my dog. Straight in the trash.

    Caprese sandwich with maybe two slices of mozzarella.
    Rebekah P.

    I have been to this location twice through the drive through this week and the first time they didn't give me the fruit cup I ordered and was charged for, and they didn't give me the avocado on the side like I asked. They did give me a refund for the fruit cup after 15 minutes on the phone, but I still had nothing to feed my infant while I was out. The second time, they got the order right, but my $11 caprese sandwich barely had any mozzarella which is one of the main ingredients. At first I thought they had forgotten it altogether because it took me a minute to find any. Needless to say, I won't be going to Panera anymore. Their prices are outrageous and neither their food nor service is near worth the price point.

First time: service was cool-shoulderish but the food was fantastic. We were all BLOWN AWAY. I thought the price a little high for what you get. I swear, there was an issue with my order. I'm telling you now...I didn't order the tofu, so when they delivered it to my table I asked....but they showed me my receipt, which said I did. I was skeptical, but whatever. I think the touchscreen ordering screwed me... Y'all, I wouldn't order tofu in a million years, I don't like it...but ended up eating the entire dish. It was fantastic! Talk about being surprised. Today, was extremely careful on the touchscreen when ordering, and went with the beef curry and chicken. My thoughts when it came out: is there even any beef in this? This is soup, not curry. Oh, and it's not even hot. It's barely even warm. Then, a co-worker was legit served the wrong dish. So, she goes to bring it to their attention, and the server borderline argues with her ...basically telling her "yes, that is what you ordered" - even though she had a receipt showing otherwise. Service is not friendly. Food costs too much. Ambiance is a mix of hole-in-the-wall, eclectic, retro...walls covered in weird posters. I like the vibe, seriously, I just wish the food was worth it and the people were nicer.

Try, in this given year to frequent a place maybe minutes from you. I am surrounded by spots I have never tried before. I am guilty of passing up a business based on its facade. Soups & Rolls definitely fits in this category. As I stated in my last review some of the best flavors in the city reside in the most precarious places. This place, which provides flavorful Vietnamese and Chinese fare is no different. It is another place in the Westside that quietly makes fantastic food. It used to be a Central American restaurant but in this area nothing is permanent. When I went the mistake was parking in the back. Not a problem, as I went to the proper entrance. In my opinion the age of Instagram and Tik Tok has aided bias on the part of the patron. Customers are seeking places that have an ambience to document their experiences. Via photoworthy posts on social media or selfies. So much so the meal becomes secondary or an afterthought. If you are expecting a giant dragon with waterfalls or a modern lighting that highlights the room you will not find it. Its table and seating is very humble, as the owners. We sat down and one of the friendly servers took our orders. Their menu is extensive with pho, lemongrass chicken, spring rolls etc. In addition they do carry some Chinese dishes in case you aren't into Vietnamese fare. But what cruel human being wouldn't be? I have always wanted to try a bahn mi for the longest time.. The thing is I'm not into pork. The owner suggested a beef one. I ordered that and a mango boba tea. My partner ordered spring rolls and a bowl of vermicelli. No sooner was I looking at the tiger painting on their wall did all food items arrive. Everything was hot and fresh. The bahn mi was gigantic. It was a huge french hoagie roll stuffed with beef, carrots and cilantro. I must confess I'm not a fan of cilantro but it fit here perfectly. The meat was tender and flavorful. It came with accompanying fries. I tried my partner's spring rolls and they were some of the best I have ever had. The rolls were fried with an equally flavorful filling. In addition the mango boba was really good. I like the consistency of mine to be thick. If I stick my straw into the boba and it stands straight up I know it is good. The chef came from the kitchen to check on us. He tried to explain that the bahn mi and the torta are very similar. But then again most cuisines share a commonality. I understand people's hesitancy to try a place in precarious neighborhoods. I implore you to try a place in your locale. If not, and you are up for an adventure please check out "Soups & Rolls" in the Westside. The service and food are both excellent. Next time I'm getting that big bowl of Pho with extra Sriracha sauce. First, I have to learn how to properly pronounce it.

I ordered the crispy dumplings (pork) and spring rolls as appetizers, and the spicy noodle soup as my entree. My server came to take my order, and brought me the items as they were ready. The entree came out before the appetizers. The spicy noodle soup was spicy (as named) and it was good, but it was incredibly oily and the noodles were overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. I would definitely recommend ordering this with rice, or taking it home and making your own. The dumplings and spring rolls were crispy, but nothing special. I did like the duck sauce they had -- I would have asked my server for more of it, but she was busy in the back or something, not sure. I wish she would've checked in on me a bit more during the visit so I could have gotten more napkins and sauce. The service was alright. I wish I would've gotten checked on a little bit more, but she was nice and helped me pack my noodles to go. Overall, this spot wasn't terrible, but if I had to choose, I'd probably try another place.

Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)
