Haven't been to a Panera Bread in forever and today I had to go an enjoy this missing part of my lunch life! The Studio City, California location is on Ventura Boulevard near Laurel Canyon! Tons of parking spaces in the huge back parking lot that is connected to many other shops. Stepping inside the Panera Bread I felt an amazing sense of calmness. Relaxation took over followed by the delightful display of desserts! There's a counter and a cashier or you can use a touchscreen to order your food. I did the touchscreen. Then paid with a card. Your name pops up on an ordering screen. We chose an indoor booth. The dining area is classic old school with browns, tans and grey decor. Our food orders were called. You will go to pick up your food at the area that is also for to-go orders. There are to-go napkins and utensils here as well. The lunch portions were fantastic. We had a soup and salad combo. The salad was huge! And a half sandwich and soup! With refillable fountain drinks. Your choice of carbonated soft drinks or iced teas. After lunch we went to the outside seating area to get some sun and enjoy the day. This place is great! read more

This Panera Bread has become a regular stop for me over the past couple of months, especially since I joined the Sip Club. It's been fun working my way through the drink menu, and I've also tried a handful of the pastries too. Everything has been pretty solid (I particularly enjoyed the orange scone). I live nearby, so I pop in fairly often, and the coffee station is always clean and well stocked. The pastries always look fresh and tempting. The coffee itself is good quality, and when I'm in the mood for something cold, my go to combo has been the passionfruit green tea mixed with sparkling water. The interior has a comfortable feel, and I like the decor and the painting in my pic. Outside, there's a great patio space with a cute mural on the wall, which makes it an easy place to hang out for a bit, especially when the weather's nice. The service is good here, and they've always been friendly and helpful. read more

It's been awhile since I have been to Panera. All the stores close by to where I live are closed so no Panera for me. I got excited when I saw this Panera Bread location. I ordered the family meal which comes with salad, sandwiches and soup. For soup I got Broccoli soup which Panera has the yummiest one. For sandwiches I got two chicken sandwiches. Both of them were yummy and good. Didn't disappoint. Order comes with a baguette which was fresh and yummy. I liked the bread too. For ambiance, this location was clean and tables were clean. No trash or trays sitting around. The fountain drinks area was clean too. For service, I was greeted as soon as I walked in. Lady who helped me was nice and friendly. Overall, all the staff I talked to were nice and professional. For parking, it is shared with other business. It was easy to find a parking spot on a Sunday afternoon. I will be back for sure. read more

Wish I could give -99 ! I actually spent money in the store today unlike all the homeless and computer wifi moochers that sit for 8 hours and dont buy a thing . I was approached by a manager while eating and told that I couldnt have a bowl of water next to my table on the floor because it might make a mess. Never heard of this rule before ! I'll be sure to patronize the other Paneras in the area next time though !! Addendum : after using the restroom for 90 seconds, a 2nd employee came over to my table telling me I couldnt leave my dog unattended even though he was in a corner secured by a leash under one of the table legs. Again all while a wifi moocher was next to us on his laptop not purchasing anything . Wont be back to this locale until I get a call back from a Regional Manager ! 818-400-3693 read more

Panera Bread - Candy Cookie Cinnabun - Sandwiches Near Me - Studio City, California

I usually come to this places to pick up my free pastry for my birthday. But recently, I joined the sip club and I have been frequenting this location. They had an offer that is hard to miss. $3 for 3 months or $3 for 5 months for new subscribers. This location is near my job and I usually pass it going to Fryman Canyon. So why not stop for some coffee or juice. The other day I received a coupon for $10 off. What a sweet deal!! I got me an Autumn Squash Soup and Chicken Roma Asiago Bagel Stack from the Pick 2 menu. The soup was delicious and hot that warmed my starving stomach. While the bagel is so good that I consumed it with gusto. The toasted bagel gave it a nice crunch. Soup is usually available after 10:30am even though it says 10am on their website. My server is so nice and she was able to make it work. They have outdoor dining tables and chairs that are nice enough to sit when the weather permits. Place is busy with all walks of life. There are 2 entrances - from Ventura Blvd and the other is from the back where the parking is. read more

Its been a little too long since my last visit to Panera Bread. This weekend I had some errands to run and took my mother along for the ride. Since she doesn't walk very far distance I choose to pick my errands out carefully. While out it would be nice to get something to eat as well. Since its been a long time since my last time and my mother would rather eat food items that are softer, I felt that Panera would be a great option. We both ordered the Pick 2 option. The kiosks are nice as they display a photo of each of the menu items for my mother to choose. For her she got the chicken noodle soup + tuna sandwich. I chose the cheddar broccoli soup + Turkey bacon bravo sandwich. Not gonna lie the last time I've been to Panera would be about 8 years. The Turkey bacon bravo has been my favorite sandwich and I am happy that it is still on the menu. We arrived just before noon and there were plenty of seats to choose. The food came out fairly quickly which is a plus. My mother and I enjoyed our meals and she so pleased she said we should visit again sometime. I laughed and told her, "we haven't left yet, mom". I think its interesting if you sit towards the back entrance you can hear the music played since the ceiling is lower, it could be good or bad. There are also patio seating as well if you need to have some time in the sun. The restrooms are number padded and will need to ask for the pin number to get in. Men and Women's pins are different. From time to time I think Panera is a good option for a lunch. I am happy that my mother was happy with the suggestion as she isn't very adventurous. Parking: large lot in rear VERDICT: Rinse and repeat read more

Since when did Panera think they were 5 star Michelin? I just spent $50 on basically nothing! I got a Benny sandwich with bacon, what was supposed to be a bowl of French onion soup, a large soda and a sugar cookie. I used to be able to get the catering size soup for $20 and I could eat it for a couple days. The pic is of the "bowl" I'd hate to see how big a cup of soup is now. Don't get me wrong. The food was good, but not worth $50!!! I could have had a very nice sushi lunch for the same price. Sad they've become unaffordable. read more

I used to go quite regularly when I lived in Studio City for eighteen years, but I hadn't ordered anything from there in ages since moving to the Oaks of Sherman. So, I rectified that, oh yes, I rectified that and have been ordering at least once a week through Grubhub - always a chocolate chip muffin top and three macaroons in one bag. I love the muffin tops - that's what I'd always get there and they were, in fact, the first place I'd ever even seen a muffin top. And their macaroons are really terrific, which is good because if you've ever had a macaroon that wasn't terrific, you know how important it is that it be terrific. I have no idea what their sandwiches or salads are like and it's my understanding that many Paneras are struggling. I'd hate to see it go away, so go and give them a try and take advantage of their free Internet. read more

Panera has been my vibe lately. Great place for lunch or any other time. I was in a bit of a rush on this visit, so not many pictures, but pretty much the same as most other locations. This location is on Ventura Blvd. they have a huge parking lot in back, they have a front entrance, but not much street parking, so you would enter from the back parking lot mainly. Staff was friendly, seemed like quite a few employees at this location, which is nice for service. My good to has been the Ranch Cobb Salad, so fresh and tasty sub the green goddess dressing, really good. I am a member of the sip club, so drinks are always free as well. Pay a yearly fee of course, but worth the money. Join today. Enjoy! read more

I ordered and paid for a whole sandwich and received only a half sandwich. This location never seems to get an order right. They don't know what they are doing. Would give them negative stars if I could. Avoid at all costs. read more

This location is nice because it has indoor and outdoor seating. (Though the chairs outside aren't super comfortable.) Unfortunately they were understaffed here which made did a stressful situation for the people working there. However that didn't affect the quality of service or my food. I got the southwest salad. Try it with balsamic vinaigrette instead of ranch. ; ) I also got the Asiago bagels which had no hole haha! The bagel was a little dry but not bad. I got both the honey walnut and plain cream cheese. The honey walnut cream cheese was so good with the salty cheese bagel. Parking in the back is free and there is an entrance back there as well. There is also street parking in the front. read more

Since joining Panera's Sip Club, I've discovered there are so many locations. I've been to many and my favorite is the Studio City location. This location is spacious, clean, ample parking and has the friendliest staff! Tanay always greets with a friendly smile and is engaging! David in the kitchen area is nice, friendly and efficient. I'm usually in a rush to get to work and he gets the order out quickly! I enjoy the convenience of the app or the kiosk inside. There's enough variety for breakfast or lunch or a sweet treat. I'm mostly there for the drinks though. The Sip Club is a good value. You'll get discounted offers for bagels, sandwiches and treats pretty frequently. I'm always looking for deals and discounts, so I'm sticking to this one!! read more

Panera's bread is good! Baguette- great. Asiago cheese bagel-great. The two older guys camped at tables inside taking about "Pervert" this and "pervert that" in loud voices- not great.m, dropping f bombs. Lot of uncleared tables. Staff helpful but didn't let us know there was a free side with the choose two combo (we saw this on the ordering kiosk that said an item was out of stock that was in stock). Keep an eye out. read more

Way too freakin expensive!! We ordered Pick and Two. Two small soups, two small half sandwiches, and two drink, for $47.00. Are you kidding me?! It was our first and last time there. No wonder it was empty at dinner time. read more

I used to get Panera 3 days a week, than all the sudden they raised their prices by 100% !! A Frozen bowl of soup SHOULD NOT COST $14 . To eat lunch at a Panera you will spend $35 for NOT GOOD FOOD ! I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO A PANERA and I linda hope they go bankrupt for being such greedy mofo #PANERASUCKS read more

Terrible service and awful food quality. They put rotten black avocado right on top of my salad -- clearly spoiled. When I politely asked for a replacement, the staff acted annoyed and dismissive. Absolutely unacceptable. I won't be coming back. read more

Let's start with the good stuff--the food here is consistently delicious! My fiancé and I always look forward to the soup and sandwich combo; it's our go-to comfort meal. But seriously... the carpets. They've got a smell that hits you the moment you walk in, and not in a nostalgic way. It's hard to fully enjoy a great lunch when your nose is doing battle. A little fresh flooring would go a long way in matching the quality of the food! read more

The staff here is wonderful and the food is great, but the management needs to update their kiosk system. I placed a 'Dine In' order, and the system accepted it without any warning that the dining room was closing in minutes. When my food was ready, it was packed in a to-go bag and I was told I had to leave immediately because it was 8:00 PM. It's very disappointing to pay for a sit-down experience only to be kicked out. If you're visiting near closing time, just head to the Chipotle nearby instead--they seem better prepared for evening customers." read more

A little less than you would expect from your average Panera experience. Everything was done through the ordering kiosks so I was never greeting or helped by anybody. The place seemed a little dirty and maybe people were just trying to hide from the rain but I didn't feel comfortable and clean leaving there. The food tasted normal but there was a pretty long wait, I don't know if that's their fault though. Seemed like there were a lot of orders coming in from online but who knows. read more

Is it hotline order and pick up. Service was very friendly and everything was ready on time. Our order was correct and easy. Metered parking out front. Not a huge fan of their food, but they do have great offers and coupons which have me coming back occasionally. read more

This particular Panera Bread is beloved by me and my friends for a few reasons: A. Their service is excellent - always friendly, always fast, always serving up delicious food and beverages. B. They are such a help to the community! - Where else can one come and drink coffee and connect to free wifi, use the table, seats , outdoor or indoor and study, work, or get your life back on track - all while being able to charge your electronics and use the restroom without any sour lemon faces. They are friendly towards struggling artist trying to make it in this city - this is why they have a loyal clientele. C. The sip club is such a great deal! For a very reasonable monthly fee you get to have as many drinks as you'd like. Personally, I love coming here everyday and getting my day started with a hot cup of coffee and a bagel and creamcheese. :) read more

Sticky dirty tables, no soap in the bathroom. Food portions very small for a 17.00 meal not including a drink. Employees were decent, but this by far was the dirtiest Panera and low food quality I've been to. If it wasn't for meeting my lawyer here, I would of went elsewhere. read more

Panera Bread - Onion soup, half turkey sandwich. - Sandwiches Near Me - Studio City, California

This was my first time EVER receiving such disgusting ugly made food from Panera bread. I was hoping for a spicy chicken sandwich which was on the menu but when ordering I was told it was no longer available. Why have it listed? Anyway this is what I settled for, a pulled spicy chicken sandwich, but does it look appetizing to you? And where does Panera Bread get off with charging such a huge amount of money for such none-appetizing food? I am very disappointed in Panera Bread. I spoke with one of manager's and a regional manager "it is what it is," it is what it is who are these people? Below are pics of the sandwich I was hoping to get, and what I actually got. There's also a pic of the receipt. I gave them one star, but I should've have given any. I'm disappointed in you Panera Bread, and your your lack of empathy for your customer's complaint in receiving such food. Del read more

I saw some bad reviews of this location. I thought they were isolated incidents, and it would not happen to us! I was wrong!! The employees were very helpful and so sweet...like the many options of sugar/sweeteners they have for the many options of coffee: light roast, dark roast, hazelnut, decaf. The grumpy manager, on the other hand, did not want to give us handle bags to carry our multiple trays of coffee. He claimed they did not fit inside well, but they fit perfectly. I understand cost and being green, but we really needed the bags today to bring to hospital staff. One of the turkey sandwiches we ordered had no turkey at all!! My dad was in the hospital and could not have what he asked for because of the egregious mistake of a Panera employee. I ordered and paid extra for extra feta on my half Greek Salad. Clearly, that was forgotten, as well! My Half Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich barely had any almonds. There is a parking lot shared with many other businesses including Vons, but you should be able to find parking even during busy hours. All these mistakes and bad reviews should not happen, or at least occur less, if there is good management and training. I have owned a restaurant, and this experience was horrible!! I will not go back to this location. I am not interested in going to other Panera locations either because of this experience. read more

Food and pastries here are very good. I haven't tried the bagels yet, but my go to here is the chicken avocado melt sandwich. Soooo good! Plenty of seating inside and outside in the back. I did not like that the pastry section was out in the open and you can see the bugs n flies landing on them. They should have them in a secure section for freshness. Other than that, great establishment! read more

The classic grilled cheese was not so classic. The cheese was not melted all tue way through and it does not taste like they buttered and grilled the sandwich. The blood orange drink tastes like a bitter marmalade drink (if you are into that). The blueberry scone was great. P.s breakfast sandwiches end at 11am. The ambiance was nice, the service was good, however overall slightly disappointed. read more

Delicious but expensive! My coworker and I always have trouble deciding what to order for lunch but this week, I had a special request. Soup, all I can eat right now is soup. I have tmj so there are days where I can't eat solid food because my jaw and head hurt so bad, also it was my coworkers birthday so, I thought I'd treat him to something nice. I got the autumn squash and a broccoli and cheddar soup. I requested the autumn soup without any pepitas but, they put them on and doubled it. I was a little upset about that but, the food was so good I can't complain too much. The broccoli and cheddar was delicious as well. For the price we paid tho and the sizes we got was ridiculous but, I would order Panera again if I had a little extra money. My coworker and I also decided to share an 'everything but the sink' cookie and that was the best dang cookie I've ever had in my life. It had caramel, chocolate and salt, it was a divine cookie. I would get it again but, I believe it was 8$ for a cookie? *crying emoji Omgosh but, I highly recommend it. I wish they would lower the prices cause, I would go more often if they did. read more

I live 5 minutes away from Panera Bread and always forget to come and eat their DELICIOUS food!! This past few days I came twice back to back and had one of their delicious sandwiches and added chicken to it. I threw the receipt away and forgot the name of the sandwich. The bread is toasted so well that all the ingredients melt in your mouth along with the bread. Everything that they have is vey tasty, fresh, flavorful, clean and healthy. I have tried their soups, salads, sandwiches, flatbread pizzas, their baking goods, bread, smoothies, coffee, juices and I think I pretty much covered everything that I have tried. In total I have been to Panera maybe like 8 to 10 times in 30 years that I have been living in Studio City. I have noticed a change this past couple of years that I have been going there. Food tastes much better, and service has also gotten better. It used to be a very cold atmosphere with unwelcoming employees and the food was very BLAND. Like I have already mentioned...good food, extensive menu, very authentic in so many ways, clean restaurant, friendly customer service and cute, big quiet patio sitting. The reason that I am giving 4 stars is because it is a bit pricy and the portions are not enough for my stomach and it even looks smaller in your big plates and bowls. FYI I am NOT a fat person when I said food is not enough for my stomach. It would be nice to see those plates/bowls FULL. Especially for the price you guys charge!! Will return when I have some money! read more

We placed a large order about 3 or 4 days prior to delivery date for a breakfast party at our office. We requested the food be delivered at a specific time because our technicians come early and leave for their days work. Not only did the food arrive over an hour late (and cold), half of our order was missing because "their oven broke" (they could have at least delivered the portion of the food that was ready on time). Most of our technicians came before the food was delivered and there was no food available for them which we promised. This made us look horrible in front of our staff and technicians. The Panera Bread workers also gave us attitude when we called to follow up on our order. The manager called us later on and did not offer any compensation nor apology for their negligence. This will be our last time ordering anything from Panera Bread and I highly recommend you go elsewhere. Awful experience with this place. read more

This may have been the worst Panera location I've been to. I couldn't find a booth that was actually wiped down, and it wasn't busy at all, maybe 2 tables taken. My daughter's macaroni and cheese came out so cold that it was 1 step away from frozen, it may have just been removed from the fridge and accidentally served. I had to ask for missing items in the order and utensils etc. The worst part (and more to the fault of the parking lot itself and not Panera) was walking back to my window smashed in the parking lot. Not a very appealing location to return to. Only positive was the staff wasn't rude, everyone was nice. Just not efficient. read more

I was in the area and decided to stop by Panera for lunch. It had been a while since I've been to a Panera, but thought about the good old days when I used to visit more frequently. Sadly, it has changed a good amount. Overall, the restaurant is dark and not the cleanest. I got the you pick two with a sandwich and a salad along with a drink this came to $22! Now I know it's Studio City, but this seemed pretty high for what I got the food itself wasn't bad, but it felt like the quality wasn't like before. I don't see myself returning here anytime soon. read more

I am still amazed by this Panera location that I visit so many times when I am in the area, never let me down on drinks, cleanliness, not to find over a spot to charge my phone and relax, it helps me stay active and have a private spot to practice my craft. I just realized they changed the bathroom codes every day for safety, so not point of sharing the codes in the future anymore lol.

Heads up, every single time I order delivery from this location they forget something. Seriously like my fruit or a side of chips, on Tuesday they forgot my side of baguette and today I get a bagel but there was no cream cheese even though it says it on the tag the bagel was bagged in. They even charge you extra for cream cheese on your bagel and still forgot it. They have $1 delivery but every time I end up without an item so I would say it's not worth it. Like today I guess I'm just eating a plain bagel with nothing on it, great. read more

Panera Bread - $10 steak sandwich aka 2 toasted pieces of bread lol - Sandwiches Near Me - Studio City, California

|[ s t a n d a r d s ]| 1.5 stars rounded up. Standards of the restaurant are quite unreasonable. First of all, the tables do not get wiped down unless requested. I actually wiped the crumbs off my table and when I asked that it be wiped the lady said "it's clean" while she wiped. Lol. It appears "clean" because I wiped off the crumbs. Also women's bathroom is unacceptably dirty. |[ w h e r e s m y f o o d ? ]| But probably the worst thing was that my order was somehow never put in. After realizing my food wasn't going to come after almost an hour, I inquired and only then was my food being made. They did give a complimentary drink to compensate which was a nice gesture, but I'd say the standards of the place could use some improving. |[ v e r d i c t ]| I've been here before and the food took forever then too (although it wasn't busy). Coupled with mediocre food, not sure I'd come back unless absolutely desperate for a place to work on my laptop since the spacious dining area is about the only thing worth coming for (however, the atmosphere is like a subpar college dining hall). Pros: spacious, outlets, parking lot Cons: dirty tables, dirty carpet, really dirty bathroom, forgot to make order read more

Panera has quick and friendly service. Easy to use app. Even though the service is awesome, the products are fair. Now lets talk about the coffee that is highly hyped. Coffee here is not my best favorite. It's not always as fresh as you expect. Also Panera has a secret menu. It's so secret that even the cashiers sometimes don't know about it. How it works: You have to look online at the Panera Website to find a list of delicious breakfast bowls, salads and other goodies that are clearly labeled with all the best ingredients. Once you pick what you want, you MUST tell the cashier that you're ordering from the Secret Menu. After a few questions and suggestions, you'll get your order - which will taste that much more delicious! Happy Hunting! read more
