It's New Year's Day, and we stopped in for a few sandwiches, pastry, and coffee. We ordered there and food came out fairly quickly. The place looks well organized and clean. I liked that the music wasn't blaring loud. The sandwiches were both good (chicken salad and a turkey). The bread was soft and seemed fresh on both sandwiches. The creme brulee latte was okay; the flavor wasn't really detectable. And the cherry danish was dry (the breading) and seemed like it's been sitting there for several days. But there was a good amount of cherry filling. The young lady at the counter, and the young man at the pick up window, were both polite and warm. It's in a shopping center, so there was ample parking. Overall, it was a better than expected experience for a chain store. read more

I was disappointed to find that this food chain lacks basic fresh ingredients, including heavy cream which I use for coffee but Its absence is a "tell" for anyone who bakes; a true bakery would have heavy cream on hand for scratch-made doughs and soups. This confirms that most of the "baking" here is simply reheating pre-made products. Furthermore, the eggs are NOT COOKED fresh on-site, but arrive premade in PLASTIC! Charging $4.00 for coffee that consistently tastes like "burnt bean juice" is unacceptable. Unless you have a "Sip Club" membership, you are better off paying extra and getting an espresso here or going to the nearby McDonald's, where the coffee is more affordable and tastes better. Is disappointing to see this location's compost bins constantly overflowing while they refuse to participate in the Too Good To Go program. Most Panera locations have been reducing waste and offer leftovers at a discount for over 4 years on the TGTG app, but this branch chooses to toss food instead. Between the waste and an unkempt lobby that is often unwelcoming for sit-down guests, the management here is failing.... Speaking of, there is a name on the door it says Jason Ezra but he's never available to talk to. read more

May 9th at 2 pm, 5 of us went in for lunch. We waited for 10 minutes and no one came to the counter. We said anyone working here? No answer! We proceeded to the order machine, and then 2 new groups of people came in, 2 and 4. They said loudly at the counter, Anyone Work Here? No answer, then about 5 minutes later a guy came from the back and didn't offer any apology, just said, Who's first to Order? The last customers in, started tovorder, and we said, Hey! We are first. The people were mad, and it ruined our lunch. I also ordered a grilled cheese for the first time, and it was awful. Thick soft bread, with a couple pieces of cheap American cheese, and barely a grill mark. You can do better‼ Hell, I can do better at home. They were also out of Chicken Wild Rice Soup, on the werkend‼ Not a good experience. read more

There was a free bakery treat on my app and this Panera location was a mile and a half from hotel. Placed an order on my app for my favorite cookie, the Kitchen Sink and went to mall for pick up. Went to the pick-up counter and the worker greeted me and gave him my name and he handed me my order and I was on my way. Easy order and pickup. read more

My husband and I stopped by the Panera in Sand City, CA for lunch, and wow--things have really gone downhill. There were very few employees, the tables were filthy, and we actually had to wipe down our own table just to sit and eat. I've included a few photos to show the condition of the place. It wasn't even busy, so please do better, Panera! read more

We have been to this location a few times before and things pretty good. Its been at least 2 years since we went to this location and decided to stop in at 8 to get some scones. Walked in to a sticky floor, no bagels, no scones and hardly any items in the case. No one around and honestly just a sense of yuck. A guy in a tshirt finally came out from the back and we asked about scones. No scones as no icing! Crazy. This location used to be awesome. Sure has gone downhill. Not sure how they are still in business. Never going back! read more

I'm so disappointed on how Panera's service is goin down I stop at this location in sand city person taking orders totally ignored us even though we were in line waiting she went to the back after it was our turn without saying hi or I will be back, after 5min of waiting I went to the back to ask for help then she came took our order with an attitude. I ask for code for Their restrooms, they did not have any soap for the hands on top of the no milk for coffee, this place is not cheap and service is going down what is good on Panera?? U don't care about ur customers anymore? Staff look very unhappy as well and it shows. read more

All the coffee was out, when asked about getting them refilled the staff looked bothered. Gal was wiping down tables, left the tabletops do wet you couldn't even sit at it. Very disappointed as I would have received better service at McDonalds. Which is too bad as I wanted to give Panera a shot. read more

And quick service and it came on time. Everybody loved their sandwiches it came with chips. Very tasty chips not overly salty. Nice location close to highway and plenty of parking. It was taken out, so I cannot judge on the inside. But very nice presentation. . read more

Took too long for the refill of the coffees & half & halfs. Panera employees at the time were very unprofessional entitled attitude no apologies that we got from them and I even tried to thanking them for taking too long for there refills of both Coffee and Half & Half. The Panera sand city has gotten worse since they opened 10 years ago and each year the people in charge of that area get more entitled and disrespectful to the customers that buy food at the sand city panera. It took more then 10 minutes for us to wait for a cashier so we instead ordered on one of their tablets. I am done with the Panera Sand city. Never ever again going to that place again. A huge letdown. read more

My wife was shorted 2 bagels on a take out order. We did not discover this until we opened the bag some 4 miles away. My wife called them and was told stop in anytime they would make it good. She left them her name. A few days later she was humiliated and embarrassed by the manager when she explained what happened. She was denied the bagels!!!!! How can you run a business like that? Never to return ever. Poor management! read more

I rarely eat here - so rarely that I forget how much I don't like it. This was o different. Chicken noodle soup was pretty good as was onion soup. Tina sandwich nothing to write home about.

It's seems as though a 1/2 sandwich and soup is easy choice for tasty food, NO. Had this delivered and discovered no napkins, silverware or salt & pepper. The soup was average not like other locations I have had it at. The sandwich was hard, minimal steak & cheese and zero flavor. The side piece of baguette was hard as a rock. This location I will not be returning to. read more

I love to help wide and spacious this particular Panera was in Seaside!! I also loved their conference room that was available via reservation! When I took this picture there was actually what looked like two managers from Panera doing paperwork inside so I didn't want to take their picture also. Lol they have a huge seating area and all the customers were politely spacing themselves out since we were going to be eating without masks on while indoors. I truly appreciated that and it was too windy outside to eat comfortably. Lol The lady at the register misunderstood my sandwich and I'm not too sure if she repeated the sandwich back to me or not. Perhaps it was the fact we were both wearing masks and I was really lacking caffeine from the hazelnut coffee I hadn't had yet that day. Lol either way I was able to get the correct sandwich I ordered within 10 minutes and the chicken chipotle avocado melt was delicious!! read more

Staff is kind and helpful. Portions are small and excessively overpriced, particularly the "large" mac 'n' cheese." $13.77 for the equivalent to a quarter portion of boxed mac 'n' cheese; watery, and mediocre at best. Can't imagine anyone ordering this a second time. Fool me once... read more

I don't recommend this place to anyone. I used to go there quite a bit. And i still visit the one in San Diego. But the Sand City restaurant is so bad. First it's freezing cold. You sit and have a cup of coffee and your shuddering. Who want to eat lunch that cold. Second, fun the first time i ate there, I've rarely had a good meal. The soup is spilled on the sandwich making the bread soggy. The food is always cold. The pasterys are hard as a rock. Worst of all one of the stalls in the mens bathroom has been taped off and the toilet has been full of bile for weeks. This place ought to be reported to the health department. read more

Not the best experience here today. I did come in right before closing but they out of all breads? Come on. The Mac and cheese was good but very expensive probably won't come back. read more

We came recently for a family dinner. Food was tasty, portions generous and service was prompt. It is a self service type of place with a variety of vegetarian options available. Their grilled cheese sandwich and Mac n cheese combo were great. Many of us also tried the half sandwich and half soup combo, another hit as well. Broccoli soup is a standout. They have free Wi-Fi, clean restrooms and are next tj a small mall with other shops and EV chargers nearby. read more

Very unorganized at lunch time. Many self order terminals are missing, and the ones that are there don't work properly. Very disappointing to want to order and spend money in the store, and unable to self order. The food is generally very good, just a bad location. I know with the Pandemic its been tough and hard to staff. I hope they get it together at this location? read more

For a chain restaraunt I am always pleased with this spot. The prices are not super cheap, but no super expensive either for a fresh made sandwich. I also always enjoy the bread the sandwhich made on and I enjoy ordering food on the little i-Pad ordering system when I don't feel like talking to anyone and or I am in a hurry. They have clean restrooms and free WiFi, also, excellent things to have if you need a spot to do some work. For this visit I ordered half a sandwhich and soup combo. I chose the baked potatoe soup and half a turkey club on sourdough. The sandwiches are a bit dry but there is extra mayonaisse and mustard by the drink staltion. I enjoyed the soup because it was not overwhelmingly rich. It was even better with tabasco on it! The speciality drinks are really fun as well. You order one, but because it is self serve you can pretty mix an match the drinks as you want. I had the prickly pear hibiscus tea. Very refreshing and not too sweet. You do bus your own tables here but they are also checking through the place to make sure it stays clean. Enjoy and cheers! read more

I was happy they've brought back the onion soup. I order soup & 1/2 turkey bacon avo sand. However, the half sandwich I got was horrible. It was soaking wet from the meat down through the bottom piece of French baguette roll. Quick fix. I dry off the turkey with napkins, as well as the arugula which was dripping wet also-the very few pieces I had. I arrange the top piece of baguette with the couple slivers of avocado, bacon, arugula and the couple pieces of turkey that wasn't tiny pieces (looked like leftovers; which I didn't eat). Ended up taking the soup (which had no croutons in it) home and heating it up and then enjoying. One star for nice girl upfront One star for return of onion soup read more

I have to say, I am extremely impressed with this location. Needless to say, the food is always on point and fresh. The management is extremely welcoming along with her staff. I've been meeting to post a review for sometime now. I also started ordering through their online app and have no complaints. The online/in-store pick up is extremely convenient, fast, and the food is always fresh. My favorite is definitely the barbecue chicken salad! Frizzled onion is a great topper. To the management and team, you're doing a great job and keep up the positive/welcoming environment. read more

I was wondering why this location got not so good reviews. Since this is Penera, we tried. The cashier was pretty friendly and tone of voice even though the customer line was quite long. We ordered Turkey Bacon Bravo, Chicken with Avocado Melted, Original Chicken Sandwiches, Chicken Baggett, with 2 Americano, 1 Latte and 1 Hot Chocolate. After ordering, we cleaned the table before we seated. The sandwiches tasted a bit salty than normal. Luckily, the microwave was working. We reheated our drinks. Overall, the dining experience was quite poor. We love Penera... but this location needs a bit of improvement. read more

Look for photo proof of the egg slop I was served at Panera. I actually ordered a ham and egg breakfast sammy, and was looking forward to a delicious meal. Wrong. I was totally wrong.
