Terrible location. Ordered food for delivery and we ended up having to drive to get food after this was delivered. The flat bread was delivered ice cold and was so stale it had to have been made that morning. The grilled cheese was not grilled at all. I was amazed that the location managed to burn the cheese while the bread was completely unheated, grilled or cooked in any way. This was also completely cold and soggy. They maybe microwaves it? I ordered a salad no chicken for my sister who is a vegetarian, it was delivered with chicken so she was left with nothing to eat. Finally, I ordered a pick 2 salad and sandwich but only received the sandwich. Spent 100 on food that no one wanted to eat. Avoid read more

Thank you, Panera Bread in Studio City. During this difficult time, this store continues to donate, once a week, day-old items to a local Homeless Outreach. Volunteers are then able to make grab-and-go breakfasts with delicious Panera bagels and pastries and use the breads and baguettes for sandwiches in the grab-and-go lunches. I have eaten lunch including bringing food to Ram's football games. Everything is always delicious. read more

This was the first and last time I will buy there. The place is pleasant enough, the efficiency of ordering and the cashier service was fast and good... Waited a short time and brought home the sandwiches... The bread was both soggy and hard and the layered sandwich was not layered... The tomatoes were stacked on top of each other, and the lettuce in chunks...not well made... Next time Mendocino Farms ! read more

So disappointing... We have been coming to this location for many years, but in my son's word ' they're off their game'. We recently went in for lunch, and they were repairing something near the back door. There was a filthy liquid on the floor, and the entire restaurant smelled like sewage. On top of that, we payed $45 for a tiny protein bowl, Hal's sandwich, cup of soup and a drink. Way overpriced! Not sure if we will go back. read more

Goodbye Panera- What a disappointment my lunch was with my granddaughter- Gone are all the servers, empty tables everywhere, order from a box at the counter where one person & 2 cooks reside. If you have a ? re: your order, you get in a line to speak to that one person behind the counter. When the food is ready you have to pick it up yourself. I think what really did me in was the cheap paper napkins and plastic cutlery. Our "turkey" sandwich came & my granddaughter asked where the turkey was. I pointed out a pale sliver of something rubbery that tasted like wax. I will never go back- I may as well go to a school cafeteria. I used to buy gift certificates for friends & family- I would be embarrassed to now- read more

This review is dedicated to the cashier Claude who was so friendly and kind! I was a bit indecisive with what I wanted to order but he gave me some great suggestions and even offered me a little sample of the soup that I was considered ordering. Claude was very personable and nice! read more

My bagel sandwich was wrong again this morning when I picked it up. Once again the wrong kind of bagel everything I didn't want on it was on it. They seem to be doing this as a joke but I'm just wasting money there. read more

We ordered online and picked it up. It was ready when we got there so we just grabbed and went to the car. Salads were super yummy and the sandwiches were also great. The bread seemed nice and fresh, which we seem to have difficulty with at other places. One complaint: I kinda want more read more

If you're ordering takeout check your receipt and check your order before you leave to make sure that everything you ask for is in the bag. Apparently this location is notorious for getting your order wrong unless you're eating in. So check your bag to make sure everything you ordered online is there before you leave the store. I know I'm repeating myself but this little detail is very important to avoid disappointment. The food is good, it's Panera. If the service had been better I would have given 5 stars. Also if you like your bagels on the soft side feel it before you leave. My bagel was so hard it couldn't be resurrected in the toaster oven when I got home. There's a large parking lot in the rear of the store, you can also park on the street read more

There was enough staff but don't work with urgency to make your orders especially it was not too busy this morning. Was told to wait for 20 mins, and it passed over it and still waiting for the orders. Poor service. The team manager was not even looking at the customers coming in the store and have us wait till she's done with what she's been doing before taking orders. Not an excuse read more

I rarely visit chains. Every time I rarely do, I vividly remember why. You can smell the corporate stench in every aspect of this operation. Absolute shithole of a place. Filthy dirty, the grime is worn in, like some surface have not been touched with a cleaning rag in months, maybe years. Floors, tables, worn out booth seating, place need to be acquainted with cleaning supplies and anyone that cares. Free internet runs at dial-up speeds. Not real busy yet totally understaffed. Took 20 minutes to get an espresso. read more

Staying in line 3:15 ; only one person to assist this line . She is working extremely slow ; maybe she is new . But management should probably intervene ; I ve never seen lines here before . I ve coming to this locations numerous times for take out sandwiches . Services just getting worse ; will need to change location. Sad ... you see other people three people walking and no one available to help . Poor management To top it all the person who made sandwich literally threw me the bag with sandwich ; because the salesperson got a wrong name ; and when I asked about sandwich she literally threw it up to me . U don't want to come to this location. Anymore !!!! read more

Ordered a Flatbread pizza and half sandwich. When food arrived pizza was COLD. I had to heat it up to eat it. If I wanted to heat up or cook my food I would have made it. It tasted horrible also. I won't be ordering from them again. read more

Great customer service. Went to order at the express order pick up. My credit card magnet was demagnetized. The manager noticed my issue and pulled me to the front of the line and made sure I was taken care of right away. Love the broccoli cheddar soup! read more

The workers are have the worst attitude and customer service. Not sure how they hire them or what is a hiring process very improessionally and beyond condescending and rude. I will never go to this location again. read more

We were there at about 5:30 pm on a Saturday. While the line to order went quickly, it took the staff 20 min to get our order up. At the table, we noticed that my sandwich was missing. Another's sandwich was just wrong and yet another was missing the bacon on his sandwich. Oh, and the pepperoni was missing on the flat bread. When I went to ask about my sandwich, I saw 3 people in the food prep area laughing,joking around, not paying attention to the orders they were making. Plus, the area was messy with food everywhere. It took them another 15 minutes to make my 1/2 grilled cheese sandwich! We won't be coming back to this Panera...ever!! read more

I received an outstanding "free combo" and enjoyed it thoroughly. It was healthy and modifiable. I ordered it to go, and most was wrapped in an eco friendly way with wax paper. read more

How cheap Panera is! Still the place looks run down! They love to take your money but don't care about ALL these bad reviews I see! Like how filthy the place is! How the booths really really need to be replaced so ALL the tears in whatever material they use can look better! How cheap! I've seen Jack in the Box restaurants cleaner and better looking than this place! Pure corporate greed! read more

Ordered cup of French onion soup and regretted it instantly. Soup was cold, had no flavor, cheese wasn't melted, cup half filled before trying and it looked like they poured it right out of a can. Cold day for a sad cup of soup. read more

Panera send me updates via email to order via their app and pre order. So I did. I ordered two breads the day before. When I went to pick them up the next morning they were "lost" or "stolen" as the manager claimed. They didn't have the order. Ridiculous. What's the purpose or pre-ordering for a holiday party when they lose your order?? There is a reason why this Panera and other locations have such terrible reviews. They are inefficient and badly run. read more

My mother came in for a breakfast sandwich unfortunately she received an aggressive response from the manager saying "BREAKFAST IS CLOSED". She then ordered her coffee and overheard the customer after her order the same breakfast sandwich with no problem. Why would you say no to one customer to turn around and say yes to another customer? Is it because my mother is a older Latina woman and the customer you said yes to was a white woman?? It's giving RACIST. Not to mention how defensive this manager got when asking for his name (walker? Tucker ?I don't believe this was his real name either) he also said he was "too busy" to talk to my mother when trying to figure out a solution. Terrible service terrible manager , will be reaching out to corporate. EMBARRASSING excuse for customer service and management. read more

Have been going to this Panera since I was a kid! Yes the staff here have gotten a little more rude over time the food hasn't! Still receive my food quickly and prices are very good for the amount of food given. Probably will always be coming back to this place for a place to study or a quick salad out of the house read more

Panera Bread - Half chicken Caesar salad & pasta - Sandwiches Near Me - Studio City, California

OK i was waffling between 1 star and 2...i decided that since every time you walk in through the back it smells like a garbage dump 1 star was more appropriate. First impression,employees are beaten down dogs making crap pay and basically are waiting for payday to score some tequila and weed. food came,i thought they gave me only half a sandwich but ,nope thats the whole thing,chintsy. order a hot chocolate that came about 10 minutes after i was served and was told it will be right up.Was decent but i wanted it with my meal...anyways...another example of over priced and underserviced establishments that pass on the high rents of ventura blvd in order to serve customers an unimpressive dining experience...gimme a food truck over this any day..... FOLLOW UP 12/28: Received vile and inappropriate private messages from people who had just created yelp accounts today. I suspect they were employees. It was pretty obvious in fact. OK children some lessons to remember in business. 1.NEVER,EVER put nasty messages in writing,if i were a real vindictive customer I would have copied and pasted them here just so people could see how juvenile your responses were. You all certainly have the 4 letter response down to a science. 2.If you dont like my review then either improve on my complaints or stfu. 3.You turned this into a dig on people who work hard for families and students trying to make money and go to college. My review has nothing to do with either,it just happens that my review was on people who are obviously in these particular circumstances. Any reference is strictly coincidental. You could be raising baby marmots for all i know. Doesent change the fact that the experience was lacking in many ways. In summation,work on your shortcomings you own them not me. That's what yelp is for,yes I always add a bit of humor,but then again if i didn't there wouldn't be anything funny about my experience at all. read more

The patrons here are really tall, I thought... There was a girl in front of me who was probably 6' and the guy standing before her was at least 6'2." I like the rewards program. I have a free pastry and bagel that I can redeem at any Panera by January of 2012. I had the chicken cobb salad to go. It was consistent. read more

Rough right out of the gate. Long line and 1 guy Rhyon at register while rest of crew was in the prep area talking like it was a break room. Rhyon attempted to get everyone back to work but had resistance. The food was prepared at a descent time but with 3 bowls of soup we weren't given spoons. When I went back to request 3 spoons I was asked "plastic or metal?" I said "metal" - he said, handing me plastic "sorry they aren't clean... cause we're special." Rhyon seemed to be the only employee taking the patrons into consideration. Thanks Rhyon. We haven't been to this Panera in several months. The quality has dropped since the last time we were here. Even my kids noticed read more

Ordered the chicken almond sandwich on wheat and since tea. Then tried to find a clean table to sit. Employee going around picking up fuses from the table but no effort was made to wipe off the tables. I finally sit sit arcs table and take a sip of my ice tea. Yuck! It is a green tea mix with tons of sugar. I got back to the cashier. " Well that's our iced green tea." He tells me. I say can I just switch it out for a different tea.? I got the self serve black tea which is real brewed tea. But there are no lids in the right size. Never mind. I go back to looking for a table which is clean but end up moving dishes myself. If you want something to eat quickly this place is okay. Just make sure you get a real tea and not a sugary mix . read more

Website says delivery is not available. When I arrived, lots of signs saying delivery is made by Doordash. My order was incorrect. Always check it! Saw sigh/awning on street. Drove around to back of shops to fund parking. Saw mo Panera Bread signs from back parking lot. Walked around to street sign and walked pass the store because there are no signs on the glass windows or door that say Panera. Yes, I saw the awning on the front of the building as I was walking up the block. And when I got to the door that I thought was Panera Bread, all I saw were signs about coffee. I assumed it was a coffee shop so I kept walking, and realized that I had passed Panera Bread and that the coffee signs were the entrance to Panera. Took another look as I stood at the front door and saw no indication of a Panera logo, Panera words, etc. Why the need to keep this location a secret? read more

So poorly run. Even the bakery line makes you stand and wait for your name to be called while they wait on the whole line. This joint isnt Portos and they dont seem to know it read more

What the heck happened to Panera. Service was terrible. The girl that delivered our food basically threw it down on the table like she was rushing to an appt. there was no butter for the bread included so we had to get up and ask for it. Then we got the butter and found that there was no knife included in the silverware that came with our meals so we had to get up and ask for a knife. Knives and butter are no longer out where the drink station is so you can't even get your own. The steak sandwich that my friend got was pitiful. It was sloppily steak thrown into pieces of bread and was very small amount of steak. More much more bread than steak. My salad was extremely overdressed with the dressing. Way too much dressing for the half a salad. I used to really like this place but I won't be going back. read more

I love Panera food. Baguettes, salads, tomato soup, sandwiches...I enjoy many of their menu items. This location has had a facelift recently, which makes the beverage area much more functional. The only reasons I give them less than 5 stars is 1) the parking situation is never easy here, and 2) their bathrooms tend to be dirty. read more

This place might be OK for lunch. I ate at this location a few times, it was never my choice and food was OK, nothing great, but decent. The Greek salad is good, the Smoked Turkey sandwich is just OK. The service was good, the atmosphere - not my style, people with laptops, kinda cold decor wise. Recently, while we were walking around, we wanted to get pastries for breakfast for next morning. Unfortunately there were no other bakeries within walking distance so we stopped by Panera and got the Cobblestone pastry to go. It sounded good, but trust me, it was nothing great, more like something you'd find in a supermarket. We'll stuck with ethnic bakeries and delis for now on for our pastries shopping. OK for lunch if there's nothing better around. For the prices they have, you can find better, more interesting choices in LA area. Parking lot behind, not always easy to find a spot there, though. read more

To start.....Rude people work here. Very unhelpful staff from the manager down to the people at the counter. My father, a senior citizen, wasn't feeling well and I thought why not stop for a quick soup and sandwich. What a mistake. I asked for a water cup and wasn't given one. I asked again at the pick up counter and was told to go back to the cashier. Met with attitude the whole time. Not worth a crappy corporate sandwich. To make all things worse, the coffee was stale and cold. No thanks. You guys can do better than that. Monday December 2nd 1:00pm. read more

The food is really good but the service is not because the are not organized. Yesterday I came They said my order was ready and waited 10 min for them to finish it up and then they forgot my pastry and mango smoothie made me wait another 10 minutes after my soup and sandwiches were done. Then today I came back because I love the food and they put the wrong name on the board it took 20 minutes for them to realize that. My order had been ready for the last 10 and its missing a soup and my mango smoothie so I had to go back again. Just got home my smoothie was runny from being out so long and my mac and cheese was wrong they gave me a bbq chicken topping when I ordered bacon. I just paid $56 for my food order to be late and wrong!!!!HORRIBLE ORGANIZATION AND QUALITY CONTROL. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!! read more

Pros: burned some calories standing for 40 minutes and worked on my appetite Cons: 40 minute wait for a sub par salad and premade soup while people ordered after us got their food. Go somewhere else. Literally anywhere else. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Studio City, California

I actually frequent Panera Bread often but usually for Ice Tea or coffee. As far as there food its pretty bland and plain. Everytime I come here I try something out hoping it'll be better than the last. But nope I haven't found a meal here I like. I do love there Ice Teas. It's self serve and they usually have 3 different teas where you can mix it up for some flavor. There coffees are pretty bomb too and usually pretty fresh. Most of time this place is a bit dirty and usually has lots of tables that haven't been cleaned yet. There's plenty of free parking in the back. read more

Ordered Rapid Pick-Up on MyPanera App and it was totally neglected. I ordered a half Tuna sandwich with notes that said, "please toast the bread" and the bread was not toasted at all when I picked it up. There was hardly any Tuna and the little bit that was there didn't make it on the bread, it had fallen to the side stuck to the paper. I come here often and I am so disappointed in the unsatisfactory service and food quality. Also ordered a half Green Goddess Cobb, came out perfectly and was delicious. I would be concerned if they messed up the salad too. Please treat pick up orders with care! We pay the same price as those who dine in. read more
