    Southwestern Chicken Ranch Salad & Zesty Tuscan Asiago Bagel Stack (You Pick 2, 1/2 and 1/2)
    Sway T.

    Stopped by here for lunch after a long local hike w/ our pup. Jeff helped me w/ our dine-in order, and I am grateful for his kindness. (I have also worked in food service & really appreciate the people who have to stand on their feet for long periods of time while assisting customers with their orders). Tried the New Zesty Tuscan Asiago Bagel Stack as part of the "You Pick Two," along with the Southwestern Chicken Ranch salad. The food came out fast, and now all I want to eat at Panera is this exact combo &/or def. the bagel stack item. Yay for a new item that hits all the mark for both taste and satiety. The eatery is very clean compared to all of the other Paneras I have been too, and love the outdoor seating so our pup can enjoy a nice lunch/water break with us.

    I love Panera, this is the only bad one I've ever been to in the entire state of CA. Asked them if the Chipotle chicken sandwich had cheese. Said no. Ordered. It came with surprise cheese which wasn't on menu. Took it back. New one came with no sauce. Dry as cardboard. Cost me 9$. Internet isn't working, the only reason I didn't ask for a refund was because I'm starving. 0/10 can never recommend

    Caesar salad, French baguette and Bacon Turkey Bravo sandwich
    Art K.

    Came here for a late lunch with a friend. We were here on Tuesday at approximately 3:15 pm and noticed a large group of high school students dropping in after school. It's a great place after school to grab a snack and use the free wifi the restaurant provides. It did get a little loud, but the students were well mannered and respectful of other patrons. Tip: If you visit and wish for a quieter experience, you may want to visit earlier, before 2:30 pm or later, after 4:30 pm weekdays. I ordered the "Pick Two" option. My order consisted of a half a sandwich (Bacon Turkey Bravo), half a salad (Caesar without Chicken) a 1/4 portion French baguette and a medium coffee. In the past, we used to be able to choose the type of bread we wanted with the sandwich, but I was given no option. We also used to have the option of receiving a choice of sides, an apple, a bag of chips or a French baguette, I was not given a choice for the side as well. For this reason, I deducted a star. My Bacon Turkey Bravo sandwich, was delicious. Just the right amount of turkey, cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomato. The turkey had a smoked taste and all the other ingredients balanced the flavor of the sandwich well. The Caesar salad was a half sized serving. The taste was adequate, but you may want to ask for the dressing on the side. Some people like to have more dressing and others may like to have less. Asking for the dressing on the side may give you a better idea of how much flavor you want on your salad. If you need more, you ask for more and if you need less, you can cut back on the amount. All in all, the food was good. I always love the coffee at Panera and I usually love to take my time enjoying every sip. You have a couple of choices to choose from, decaf or extra strength. You also have the choice of milk and sweetner. If you're like me and like to take a cup to go when you leave, request a "to go" cup when you place your order and you'll be all set. Every now and then, I just like to go to Panera for a cup of coffee and a baked good. It's a treat while you surf the web using the provided wifi and you can enjoy as much coffee as you like while you relax.

    Guess I missed this Panera location by 11 years since people already put reviews about it. Located in a very populated shopping plaza, also huge building by the way, nice and clean inside, got outdoor seatings, employees greeted you while you were getting drinks, fully stocked on cups, nothing hidden behind the counter, seems like the most normal location I've ever been since November of last year, now that I found out about the place, if I am in between Encinitas and Carlsbad area, I'll know where to hang :)

    This is my neighborhood Panera Bread, i love the location and cozy outdoor patio with a fireplace (not sure if that works, i have never seen it lit). Its located inside the shopping plaza next to Orange Theory. If you a coffee lover, their coffee club is definitely worth it. For $8.99 per month you get unlimited coffee or tea. I usually visit Panera during breakfast and i highly recommend trying their breakfast egg soufflés, the other eggs sandwiches are great as well. If you join their free rewards program you will get some perks like a dollar off your lunch or a free treat and so on..

    Plain Cream Cheese Spread Tub

    Went to get food for the road ordered a bagel with cream cheese and gave me frozen cream cheese with no knife. I don't know how someone could accidentally grab cream cheese from a freezer. Very disappointing.

When we first arrived, we noticed it had the same artsy, loft vibe & decor as the one in Las Vegas. At first glance it seemed like it had a small interior but then we noticed the stairs to get to a lower level to the left of us. This led to a very spacious room! Love the decor and the layout. There's more seating outdoors, which we attempted but it had too cold of a breeze so we decided to sit indoors. We were greeted warmly by a nice young man at the counter. My hubby told him we had eaten at the FC in Las Vegas and he told us he was going to train as a manager in Las Vegas. I ordered the Chicken Yakisoba Bowl and hubby ordered the Chicken Entree with brown rice and sweet potato fries with dip. We easily found a table in the lower level as there was hardly anybody down there. But, as the time progressed it became full with young soccer players and their respective families. Apparently, the soccer games ended in the nearby fields & they all descended upon FC. Our food came out quickly. I savored my Chicken Yakisoba Bowl chock full of crispy vegetables and flavorful chicken. It was huge so I had to take leftovers to go. My hubby loved his meal, too. We look forward to returning here where they serve delicious, healthy offerings and friendly customer service.

Which is what brought us to Beeside Balcony in Del Mar during the 1st SDRW of 2026. We had Saturday night reservations & got into town early with some time to kill. We found nearby street parking fairly easily. The hostess was able to quickly accommodate us with a table despite our early arrival. Indoor dining space is minimal. But as an upstairs restaurant with "Balcony" literally in its name, the outdoor patio is where you want to be. Our server was a inconsistent on attentiveness & was slow to warm up, though she was quite personable later in the meal. Along with all of the al fresco charm dining on the balcony offered, there was also a curious & less desirable element of the ambiance. During our meal, someone went around shooting pics/ videos for social media. It felt distracting & intrusive. While the SDRW menu was what brought us here, we opted for the Chef's menu after looking over all the options. I ordered the Salmon Croquette/ Denver Steak/ Churros. She ordered Cioppino Soup/ Barramundi/ S'More Cake. Although the pacing of our courses from the kitchen was uneven, most of what we had was good to great to wonderful. Sharing tastes of our dishes with each other, the 1 egregious miss for me was the Cioppino Soup. The seafood in it was good. But that broth was not. Aside from that, the Salmon Croquette & the Barramundi were delicious. The Denver Steak was a revelation. I'd never heard of this cut before, so I looked it up. Truly, a bang for the buck all star. & prepared perfectly here with a fantastic chimichurri. For our desserts, my Churros were good but not anything to get particularly excited about. Now, on the other hand, that S'More Cake? Wow. insanely indulgent with an ooey-gooey center. I honestly can't think of a better way to end a meal. Overall, the ambiance, service, & food all had highs & lows. Collectively, though, the sum total of the experience was pleasant enough that I would be interested in coming back. My threshold for 4 stars is if I'd come back. So, 4 stars it is.

The sandwich at around $15 is pricey but feels more appropriate for what you're getting. A $12 smoothie isn't unusual in San Diego, but when the taste doesn't back it up, the price becomes a lot harder to justify. Food/Drinks: [3.5/5] Chicken Salad Sandwich -- A 3.8/5 for me. I'm from the South, so I have a pretty solid benchmark for what good chicken salad tastes like. For a healthier take on it, this one actually holds up--the dill was a nice touch and the soft whole wheat bread worked well. That said, I'm judging it on taste alone, not its nutritional value, and it's decent but not exceptional. It also came with vegan bacon bits, which I didn't mind. A solid sandwich, just nothing that wows you. Strawberry Delight Smoothie -- A 3/5. It's clearly a nod to Hailey Bieber's Erewhon smoothie and it looked the part, but the taste was just okay. I swapped the almond milk for 2% due to my nut allergy, which the staff accommodated easily, but even still it didn't wow me. At $12 I was hoping for more. Ambience: [4/5] The interior is on the smaller side but I came on a beautiful day and sat outside, which made for a lovely lunch break. One Paseo is a nice area to be in, so the outdoor experience saves it. Overall Experience: [3.7/5] Jan's is a cute concept and I get the appeal, especially in that setting. But the prices are genuinely hard to justify when you're right next door to Cava, where your money goes a lot further. I'd probably come back for the vibes on a nice day, but I'd be much more selective about what I ordered.

I tried to explain that my mother does not speak English very well, but instead of handling the situation professionally, Hope accused me of being rude, told us to leave, and threatened to call the police. Her behavior made both my mother and me feel very upset, uncomfortable, and unwelcome. She also stood very close to us and made physical contact by touching me, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable. No customer should be treated this way. We came to your business hoping to enjoy ourselves and receive good service, but instead we experienced rude, aggressive, and unacceptable treatment from a manager.

I particularly like the outdoor seating with the wood fencing and the open air style of the restaurant.

The place was empty but alot of to go orders being prepped. A guy helped me and I asked for all kale for my base. The portion seemed small so I asked him for more base kale and he gave me side eye. Keep in mind this is for their BASE (not toppings or premium toppings) - just the base (you'll see portion at end). I subbed tomato for cabbage and then he added the small scoops of parm and cheese crisps. Then tossed with Cesar dressing (it didn't look familiar this time around). The portion was so small that he even looked at it when ringing it up and I was waiting for him to say 'you want me to add more base' but instead shrugged and said 'it's b/c you omitted chicken'. Thanks guy. I could only shake my head when I opened the container. It wasn't even half full. And for $11. I could have gone to Jimbos for a bigger portion at their self serve salad. Or gone to Urbane Cafe (my fave place right now) for ahi kale salad for $13.95. The salad tasted bitter today (like radicchio for some reason) and the dressing didn't taste like their familiar Cesar. I'm kicking myself for not getting salad from another place.
