We are done with Panera!! This has always been my wife's favorite place. They have increased their prices AS WELL AS decreased the portion size. You cant do both!!! My wife ordered the pick 2 with Mac and cheese / 1/2 apple fuji chicken salad. (Very little chicken) She said they were both 1/2 of a 1/2 portion!!! Unacceptable in my book. We wont be back to Panera Its not getting better, just worse at these restaurants $16.50 it cost for these and not worth it! We both had full meals at Chilis last night for $22 w Our new go to!! read more

Went here for a break in our Temecula soccer tournament. Panera never lets us down. Fast, easy and friendly service. We were able to linger a bit in the warmth as the field was freezing the morning we played. I ordered a turkey panini with chicken noodle soup. Both tasty and I was no longer hungry mission complete. The girl had the bread bowl soup and a mookie or something like that muffin cookie concoction that she loved. The boy had a sandwich and the rest of the bread bowl the girl did not finish he loves his panera! I made sure to visit the potty before going as I love a clean panera potty instead of a cold soccer field port o potty. Happy girl : ) read more

Maybe I'll have a quest to see how many Panera Reviews I can write... but, in the meantime here's my third. First visit to this location to meet some family for a small birthday lunch. Everyone ordered sandwiches except me who, had to have the Macaroni and Cheese. Everyone loved their sandwiches and I loved the Mac, so I guess you can say this was a successful lunch. I had zero interaction with the staff as I was seated and my food ordered for me, but I did note that there were no samples! I like that you can get your own drinks and they have lots of options for a soft drink mixologist, but I wish they had the lemonade there, too. I hate having to go up to the counter to ask for a splash of lemonade and I mean, really? Is the lemonade so much more expensive than all of the other drinks? This is a Panera wide issue, not just this location. But, there, that's why I don't give Panera five stars. The lemonade. read more

Came in around 10 to grab some treats. I also also couldn't resist a breakfast sammy and latte! The service was good it wasn't very busy at all. My latte and food came out quickly and I was soon able to eat a bite or two as a mid morning snack. What can I say? I LOVE the way they make an egg and cheese. While not the best I have ever had (award goes to my special bear) it is simply delish. Ample egg and cheese melted into the bread and I am transported to a world where clouds rain donuts and the only fights that happen are over who loves who more! "No breakfast sammy I love YOU more!" My latte was good. I should have added a flavor shot my mistake. I wish they didn't put the calories up for me to see. I didn't want to know that a pecan pastry would be more calories than I work off in a month... Ignorance can be bliss. read more

Disappointed with Panera. Original owner sold out and restaurant has not been the same. Where is the clam chowder? Add some new i hot items to your menu. read more

I've been here many times, I usually get the pick 2 for 7.19 or something. THe sandwhiches really aren't that great, it's kinda weird that they don't automatically put the mustard and mayo on there you have to ask them or you can do it yourself, they have an area with the condiments. The thin is.. if you get the "signature" salads/ sandwhiches you have to pay a dollor more for each so it can end up being pretty much 10 bucks after tax for only a little bit of food. The salads are good, I usually just get the ceasar, but they do have a variety. The soups, like most places really aren't that great, except their cheddar broccoli is really good with the baguette. That's why I usually get it because I like to dip the roll into the soup. Honestly it's kind of expensive for just OK food and you don't really get that much either... It does have a nice ambiance which I think is why people pay more to go eat there. read more

The employee Caitlyn was TOP TIER! She was awesome and had the best personality. This was my second time going to Panera Bread and made my experience AWESOME. Definitely made me want to come back, awesome employee Panera! read more

VERY disappointed with my experience at Panera tonight. My friend and I ordered our meals around 6:40 pm. I didn't get my food until 8:00! I ordered a small soup and salad. In all fairness, it was busy when I initially arrived. People were seated at almost every table. I was initially warned that it would be about a 30 minute wait, and I was fine with that. But the mass of people started to leave after about 20 minutes after I had arrived. Yet why over an hour wait for a straightforward order? Ridiculous! At about the hour mark, I went up to the counter and asked for them to check on my order to see if it would be ready soon. They proceeded to tell me it would come "right out" and I received a half assed apology. It took another 15 minutes, but finally my order had arrived. The food was aight. Not bad, but not exceptional. It was not worth the $13.34 because the portion sizes for my soup and salad seemed to be customized for a small child. My friend and I were never offered anything to compensate for the terrible service other than a few meaningless and mumbled apologies. The staff seemed to be unorganized and scrambling. I usually would not write such a negative review based on a single experience, but really, this is what it is like every time I have gone to the Temecula location. read more

This is one of my grandma's favorite restaurants! Everything about this location is great. Good food, good service (my grandma is really slow at ordering and always has 50 questions to ask so I appreciate the all the cashier's patience and kindness with her hahahaha) But more over, I wanted to write this post because of how kind Tiffany was to my grandma / us! She was the one who served us our food and she was just the sweetest person with serving us, greeting us and saying bye on our way out. Ty for making our day, especially my grandma's day, Tiffany! :) read more

This establishment did honor Panera Rewards card that I have. Not only that, light roast coffee took 20 minutes to prepare. I thought they are trying to compete with Starbucks. Not at those speeds they are not. Poorly managed staff. read more

So so barbecue chicken flatbread, the onion soup was a bit too salty and the bread for the soup was yummy chewy. Typical PB! read more

Panera Bread - Barbecue chicken flatbread and onion soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Temecula, California

Great place for breakfast and coffee. Susan, one of the managers there was very pleasant to talk to, and actually took the time to sit and talk with us. We had never been to this place and wondered how it came to be. We were impressed by her willingness to chit chat. We love their bagels. So far, the cinnamon crunch bagel, was our fav. Old post. I have since had to make a lifestyle change and incorporate gluten free products into my diet. This was one of my last visits to a bread place. read more

Sad to say Panera bread in Temecula has seen better days. Ordered a bowl of soup and my husband a sandwich. Mac and cheese for my son. No utensils given. When we asked for utensils while our food was in front of them they asked what utensils we needed. Seriously? Wanted to take part of the sandwich home and when we asked for a to go box it wouldn't fit. Asked if they had anything else...no. I asked what do you do when someone buys a sandwich to go? Magically a to go box appeared. read more

Manager is rude as f to DoorDash drivers doesn't give a care at all, sad for such a good store.

Love coming here, they always have good food and the salad is my favorite. They give just the right amount and it's just so darn tasty. The bakery always has good chocolate chip cookies and muffins to die for. I'm always a happy customer here read more

Terrible. They get things wrong every time. I just went in and yet again they got something wrong. I will not be returning. And when I called to talked to someone the automated system told me they were too busy to answer the phone. I was literally just in there and there were 3 people in there and they were together haha. Jennifer is the one who messed my order up this time but it happens just about every time I go in to this location read more

Darn you Panera. I want so badly for you to step it up because I love your menu, but you have not improved at all. Don't you read my reviews?! We ordered for 7 people to go at lunchtime. We realize it was busy so we were patient when we were told it would take 90 minutes for our order to be ready. I ordered a you pick 2 -French onion soup and a modern Greek quinoa salad. My soup was missing cheese &croutons, and my salad was missing half the ingredients. No quinoa, no kale, no cucumbers, no onions. I wasn't the only one who's salad was lacking. You have such potential Panera, live up to it. read more

Been trying out Panera again after some time. Food quality has gotten a lot better in recent months and the selection is terrific.

I went to Panera for dine in lunch with my daughter. My diet is limited and I am thankful for Panera. I had one of the most pleasant experiences. Food was hot and came right away. The server Brandon was excellent and mindful of my experience. The place was very busy. I was impressed how the managers were cleaning and serving to make sure customers were served right away. Teamwork is so important in companies. I definitely will come back!!! Great job Panera Bread!!!! read more

This place is great and the people are the best! Fresh food, friendly staff and whole ingredients.

Truly don't get this over-priced place. You pay $10 for a sandwich which is barely there, definitely underwhelming, with not much to it. $2.99 for a small fountain drink. The food is bland and just truly nothing special. Have tried to like it, we've just given up on the place. read more

Every visit I've payed at this place is always A-1 service. I get a half sandwich and a half salad to be able to taste their range of recipes. Each item comes with your desired side option but I get chips or a French Baguette. I've tried their cookies before and I recommend them if you like sweets or pastries. When they were open to dine in they offered different flavor juices and those were great. read more

Came in at around 2:30 today. What a difference in food quality. Jennifer was the manager. Very inviting and friendly. The portions were extremely better than last time. Still would like to see he thick bread come back as it prevents sogginess. But I guess corporate changed that. I'm still advocating for more bread since it's in the title. Can never have enough bread. The lobby still looked a little dirty with some trash on the floor. But a gentleman cleaned it promptly from what I noticed. Restored my likeness into the restaurant. Keep it up! Still at one star. I am going to make this difficult on the store because this is my local restaurant. I really liked to frequent this place. So here it goes: portions are half of what they are suppose to be. I confirmed it with corporate. I order the bacon turkey bravo. The cheese on the sandwiches are suppose to be two pieces. I receive one whole piece or two halves. The bread is thin sliced and is suppose to be thick. The meat is about half short. Although, there have been some improvement. I can tell by other reviews not much as changed. I looked back on the line and noticed before lunch rush filled trash cans, crap on the floor, not food. Like boxes or containers or something. Managers or a designated employee should be making sure garbages and line area is clean and sanitary for prep. All employees should be wearing gloves when handeling food. Don't care what the law is. Going on the honor system that everyone is washing and everyone has germ free hands is crap when I'm seeing such bad practice behind the counter. And manager, you passed me 4 times in 20 mins and didn't ask once how I was doing or enjoying my food. I'm leaving still hungry and spent $12 bucks at the joint for a sandwich and soda. My top dollar pay should merit full sandwich's with no question or argument from the staff or manager. Keep STEALING ALL THE CUSTOMERS MONEY!!! read more

See all

Our rapid order was wrong yet again, missing 2 items and one of the sandwiches we did get was burnt. Very disappointed read more

Panera Bread - Thanks Panera - Sandwiches Near Me - Temecula, California

Terrible customer service! Do not make any mobile orders! The second time a young lady tells me there is no order with my name by just saying, "NO!" I know it's early morning, but if you hate your job so much, QUIT, or work the evening hours. Maybe you'll be friendlier then. I hope my bank can cancel the transaction for the purchase I never received. read more

Wrong time of day to come in. This is why people have phones, because one person taking orders and one customer who has never been here and wants to know what's on everything on the menu... read more

So disgusting. Our salads looked like left over garnishes, Huge long hair, worst 40$ I've ever spent!

Ordered a salad and sandwich combo to go. Got home to see a thrown together mess. The salad was half done and didnt even have all the ingredients on it from the menu. The sandwich was with mismatched bread that was a mess and one of ours had too much cheese and the other had only one piece. It was just a mess and not very good at all. If I had it there I would have sent it back. I wish I could get a refund it was not worth $35 read more

You indefinitely lost me as a customer. I've gone to this location three time in the last month and each time there was an issue. Perhaps today is matter of opinion in terms of my issue, but as a business owner, it's not up to my standards. The first two times, my order was wrong, and the first time I had to pay for my second sandwich, the second time, the got my order wrong again but I refused to pay for the sandwich and asked them to remake it. Now the third time is perhaps personal, but an issue. I waited in line like any other person, but for ten minutes while only one person was in front of me because after she ordered, the young lady at the register kindly left to fulfill her order leaving me and the other 10 people standing waiting. Why would someone who is running the register also be tasked with filling orders? No reason why people should be waiting 10,15,and 20 minutes in line because the person running the register has to leave to fill orders. read more

Today I wasn't really feeling that well and I went into Panera Bread. Susan was amazing! She came out to my car she took my order and I paid her and she brought my my goodies as well as my change and I really appreciated that.. Thanks for your Outstanding customer service!! read more

I have tried to eat at this Panera bread several times and each time it has disappointed me, the only thing here that has been consistently good is their plain Mac and cheese and even that makes my stomach drawl. I've even tried just their sandwiches and worse results, their bread is amazing but all the condiments are just.. sad. The cheese is dry and pale, the lettuce has no crisp to it, the sauce is just salad dressing and don't even get me started on the meat! 10/10 every time the bacon has been over cooked and all their deli meats have no flavor and are hard to chew. Do not recommend this place unless you want a bowel cleanse. read more

Came here around 7:30pm on a SATURDAY to find they were closed. No explanation on the door or anything. Hours on the door said they close at 9:00pm. Haven't been here in a couple years, and I wanted to give it a try after all this time... only to be disappointed. read more

Soups are ridiculously overpriced for what tiny portions they consider "bowls". By the way, their "chicken" curry soup will typically hardly have any chicken, so I'm sure the pricing margin is astronomically high. read more

They list $3.99 as a delivery fee for door dash but then add double under fees. Shaddy biz practice. The delivery fee is obviously $7.99 and not $3.99 read more

Service suffers because of Panera's distancing method. Choice is curbside/online or ordering station OUTSIDE. Ordered mocha and Bagal. Waiting 10+ minutes OUTSIDE for what? Exasperating because the counter and preparation is needlessly not visible. When I have ordered entrees, portions are small. We've counter-ordered to-go at several other restaurants, distancing and masks, no worries and better value! Won't be back. read more

Never will ever order from panera. The food is worst ..I order a grilled tomato and bacon grilled cheese. It basically had 2 pieces of tomatoes 3 pieces of bacon and hardly any cheese. RIDICULOUS.. read more

The other day, we placed a to go order. You know as soon as we get into the Christmas and Thanksgiving mode, mistakes happen with newly trained people. Also with supplies delivered to the stores, it's taking forever. Similar to Costco running out of their Kirkland TP. Anyway when the food came it was missing a lot of items and I paid $40, and was really upset. I usually don't complain, but it was expensive, plus in a way, it hurts the business not to say anything. I look at it like, how can they improve if no one gives them feedback. Well, the next day I called Panera and voiced my opinion. Never expecting to get a total refund. Carrie graciously, said I will refund you right away. Her mannerisms and politeness made my day. We need to see more of this in the world. Thank you Carrie for going that extra mile. read more

Honestly, this place and the employees and management really know great customer service! I was having some problems with the online ordering system, and my card was charged several times. I called in to let them know what was happening, and they reassured me that they would help me out when I came in. Not only did they refund everything, but they gave me my order on the house and also offered a free pastry item! I went in to pick up some chicken noodle soup as I've been sick the past couple days, and not only is the soup delicious, but my interaction with them certainly made my day as well. Will definitely be a returning guest :) read more
