This Panera bread is great. The food is fresh and full of flavor and the team is super friendly and efficient. Gloria in particular is a good leader and makes sure that everything is running up to par. The ambiance of this Panera is radiant and welcoming. I would recommend anyone to this Panera. Thank you all the team that works here for providing good food and good customer service! I'll be back again ! read more

Went through the drive thru to place my order, and received the WRONG items. Upon arriving we were notified they were out of bread and my favorite soup. It was a bummer but okay. I ordered two bbq sandwiches and then received 1 cold bbq sandwich WITHOUT BBQ, and a tuna sandwich????!??!? The order on the screen was correct so I don't understand how our order was so wrong. To top it off the chicken soup we ordered was spilling in the bag. I called the store since we got home at 9:50pm (the store closes at 10:00pm) since there was no way we'd make it back in time. The phone call kept ringing until it hung up on itself. So i guess I'm stuck with an empty stomach and some gross cold food, WITHOUT A REFUND. Beyond disappointed with this transaction, an absolute waste of money. read more

I love the staff here but the salads are always bad. I come here pretty often and my salads are often wilted with old lettuce (look at pic posted). Sometimes they don't even give me the salad dressing that's supposed to go with the salad. The flatbread pizzas are hardly ever fresh. I love Panera but this location needs to improve the quality of their food. No one should have to eat old lettuce every single time they order a salad from here. read more

Panera Bread - Old lettuce that I picked out in my salad. - Salad Near Me - South Gate, California

Ordered take-out for a company lunch. It is bad that they provided the wrong food, but most embarrassingly is that there was not enough food. This was the correct order because the receipt on the bag has all the items that were ordered. We ordered for 10 people. We had 7 sandwiches and 2 salads. 10 bags of chips. 1 sandwich missing. 3 were not labeled (so individuals had to open the wrapper just to see inside). We had four of the same sandwiches but only 2 people ordered that sandwich. The other 2 are incorrect. There were two other chicken sandwiches that was not included at all. Salads were pretty sad. It makes me cringe just to say that fast food (McD, Wendy's, etc) salads are better and a third of the price. This is going to require a lot of reconsiderations to try again. read more

2nd time they screwed up my order this week. Maybe I shouldn't blame them since I came back and expected a different and better result. I ordered curbside. Included in my order was supposed to be a whole baguette...they charged me for one but gave me a slice! This store needs more training. I don't understand how they can continue to screw up orders when they are not exceptionally busy. If I could, I wouldn't give them any stars. read more

This place knows nothing about accuracy. If you make a mistake offer the damn pastry or at least seem apologetic about your damn mistake. We don't want anything for free but if u mess up Someone's eating time try to make the situation better. Waste of time and money read more

Panera Bread - Sticker IN MY FOOD - Salad Near Me - South Gate, California

The Panera location in South Gate -crossroads has horrible customer service!!! It never fails when I order whether online or In person - they can never get the order correct or are very skimpy on their portions -even when I pay for extra chicken on salads!

This location used to be good when they opened but now it seems they just don't care !!!! Disappointing.. order a chicken chipotle sandwich- tell me where is the chicken !!!!!! read more

The service here is horrible! I am not sure if the bad experience makes the food taste worst or if its a combination. No point on complaining to the supervisor because there either isnt one available or doesnt care and has a look on his face like you are bothering him. read more

Great and speedy service, from beginning to end clean ambiance, food was fresh would definitely return read more

I tried their new broccoli mac and cheese and was extremely dissatisfied. The cup was $5.12 as part of a pick two, and it was missing about two inches from the top of the cup. It was also extremely salty. Makes me think they ran out and gave me the last measly scoop all the way at the bottom of their pot. They should have just said it was out of stock or offered to give me the regular mac and cheese instead. read more

Panera Bread - Does this tiny cup look full or worth $5.12?!?! Ridiculous. - Salad Near Me - South Gate, California

Wow!!! I really really wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt so I decided to try this place a few times before I got on here. On one of my visit, I ordered soup with extra pumpkin seeds which I got charged for. Before leaving, I asked if the extra seeds where included, the young girl said yes. Once I got to work, I noticed no extra seeds. A second time, I returned to order the same thing. This time I mentioned the missing extra seeds. She made a note and told the kitchen to pls not to forget. When I picked up my order, the kitchen said they had no pumpkin seeds. WTH?!!!!! Today I decided to be ahead of the game so I called first to see if the restaurant had seeds for their butter squash soup. They said yes. Perfect!!! I headed to the restaurant and placed my order to find out that they had no butter squash! Wth I get the people that work here are young but REALLY?!!!!!! read more

I don't know how you can fuck up a blt but this location definitely figured it out. The McDonald's across the street was better. It's overpriced for garbage jail food. read more

Went to this location twice in one day and they messed up the order both times in drive thru. First time around I ordered 3 bread bowls and they didn't provide me with any spoons (clearly on the go if I we through drive-thru). Second time around was right before closing last night. Ordered a bread bowl again, gave me the wrong soup, no spoon, chips and an apple. Since it was close to their closing time no one could help me open the door to fix my order. STEP IT UP PANERA please read more

Employees look un happy. No one greets or thanks you for coming. This is a newer location and the seat are all beat up. The food was ok. The Panera in Downey is much better. I guess this Panera suck becuase it's in a hood ??? No customer service at all - 10. The employee moral is in the gutter. Not even music playing in the restaurant. read more

I picked up dinner today 9/7/2021 at 7:20 pm we placed the order online so when I got there the food was ready. So far great experience I drove home and when we sat down for Dinner we discovered that our BB Mac & Cheese was not there we just got the Bagguett but no mac & cheese I was disappointed but I understand that mistakes happen to make things worst I order a chicken noodle bowl soup and they gave me a cup size. The frustrating part was when we called multiple times and every single time it rang the phone would pick up than hanged up. I was disappointed in Panera since the receipt it say "Accuracy Matters. If your order is not right please let a manager know." Its hard to let a manager know when they dont pick up the phone oh and lets keep in mind that I was calling at 8:00 pm not peak hours we had to drive back to Panera to speak to a manager they apologized and wanted to give me the mac & cheese we said no just give me my money back at this point we had already figured out dinner not sure but dinner time is time to bond and catch up with our family. I would rate them 0 stars if possible never going to Panera again. read more

Not a good first experience at this location...placed an order at drive thru for kids meal and tea(two different employees took order for some reason) proceeded to window to pay and sat there for almost 15 minutes and no one ever approached window....saw two separate employees walk by...one actually turned to look toward us Finally gave up and left! Come on South Gate!! read more

Came to get some coffee and pastries. Both were a bit stale and coffee was warm at best. Manager overheard me asking the barista to warm up our order. The manager (Alex) came over and said he would make a fresh batch of coffee for us and apologized. Great service is what we needed after a long day out and about. Much appreciated the customer service. read more

I honestly don't know how this Panera can get any worse! They're constantly forgetting my items, managers are rude sometimes, and I just feel sorry for the employees. You can tell they don't enjoy working here. I'm begging you guys to do better, managers need to step up and MANAGE. It's your job, don't just sit around in the dining room talking, I mean seriously it's upsetting to see employees struggle while the managers are just talking away. What baffles me is I see the same manager and employee sitting in the dining room talking. In the morning specifically, seriously do your job!!! read more

Hi friends. Rolled though today, drive thru staff were really nice and respectful. If this keeps up I'm gonna go back and update my 1 star reviews. Wishful thinking, but hopefully this Panera steps it up on customer service. read more

This is probably the worst establishment of Panera, such an embarrassment to the company name. I walk inside, and it takes 7 minutes for the cashier to acknowledge me. As I patiently waited, I noticed the dirty counters and unprofessional employees that were talking among each other instead of working. They finally helped me, I was very polite. They tell me that they ran out of Mac N Cheese. Due to the way they told me, I asked to speak to the manager. Adan (claimed to be the regional manager) rudely told me that there was no Mac N Cheese and it was best for me to leave. He even pointed at his name tag like if I was illiterate and couldn't read. I have never been so humiliated in my life, and I promise to never return to this establishment in my life. PLEASE FIX THIS, ITS NOT RIGHT. read more

Paid for a small Mac n cheese. Got home the small container is only half way full. I called and spoke to the manager on duty and she said that's how it is because the portions all ready come frozen and are packeged for correct serving size. Wow! Never again Panera will you have my business. Pay for full but be cheated and get only half. Wow what a great business model. Amazing read more

Every time I come to this pandera, they never have bread bowls. And then you are told that they sell out every day. Why wouldn't you increase your order? I just want soup in a bread bowl!! read more

There are times where I don't want to interact with people and just want to get my order quickly. I'm happy that Panera Bread offers the option to place your order online via the mobile app or in-store with the machines. This Panera Bread has a drive thru, but I haven't used it yet. I have only placed my orders online and my food is always ready for pick up when I arrive. I ordered a broccoli soup and it comes with a side of either a bread roll or you can replace it with something else at an extra charge. The cup was filled to the top with soup which was nice, and the bread was nice and toasty. I'm glad that they opened a Panera Bread near where I live because I can order breakfast and pick it up to go. read more
