I wanted to try a different location as I will not return to my local Hemet location. I will not return because the portions do not seem to have a standard and are smaller and smaller. When I first saw my sandwich on the plate, I was thanking ok this is what I am accustomed to getting at most Paneras. NOPE. A lettuce sandwich with very little chicken. I just cannot justify $14 for lettuce and bread. Giving up on Paneras. My wife and daughter did enjoy their meals. It just seems that I am cursed and it has become a running joke. I am at the airport and my wife just walked up. I said Yelp just prompted me to write a review on Panera. Now I am hungry, just like I would be if I was eating at Panera! Lol!!! read more

Panera Bread - Green goddess caprese - Sandwiches Near Me - Temecula, California

omg.... yikes. The reason the outlets are covered is because transients abuse them so the workers had to cover them. Write your local congressperson instead of bashing Panera for doing what they needed to do. Sheesh read more

I choose PB over Starbucks to support them and loved the ambience as well. With the rise in cost overall $17 for coffee and 2 pastries you would think they do all possible to provide great service to their customer. Electric outlets are covered now so you can work from their locations anymore and the service has not been the same anymore. I would not be surprised they might be on the next list of companies closing in the next 2 years . read more

I actually at down today to count how many Panera Bread locations I have been to; and thus far 10. Apart from one back home in Pittsburgh, I enjoyed this one enough that we came back the next day ! We were staying in Temecula for the day and came here for breakfast. I got my favorite cinnamon crunch bagel ! There was a new girl getting trained and she was super nice as was her trainer. They were really patient and spent time taking my order. I don't know if it was nostalgia since I haven't had a cinnamon crunch bagel in so long or if it was that good or simply BOTH but I really enjoyed every bite of it !! Thank You ! read more

Ridiculous prices but also terrible quality, rotten fruit in the salad, nasty old parfait , you can't be selling this kind of food anymore, we are working hard for our money and we hate to throw it in the trash, please do better!! read more

Let me preface this by saying "people suck". We placed an order to be delivered via the Panera app this evening after a long, arduous day because, let's face it, none of us were about to cook or drive to pick anything up. That is the beauty of delivery, after all. We received a phone call stating our order had been taken by some opportunistic heathen with absolutely no regard for common decency. The employee on the phone assured us they were remaking our order and would send it our way as quickly as humanly possible. Shortly after, our food had arrived. Unfortunately, it was missing a few items and a couple were wrong, so we got back in touch with the restaurant. They apologetically refunded the items that were missing and incorrect and explained that, in the rush to get our food out promptly, since humans are fundamentally susceptible to error, mistakes were made. They took responsibility for their part and were beyond willing to make things right, and although one in our party went without dinner, that is all we really expect from customer service. Oh, and the food we did receive was delicious. read more

Panera Bread you should be ashamed of yourself for selling this "group" size chicken noodle soup for $28. I was expecting something much bigger. Since it said it came with 4 baguettes I assumed it was 4 servings. It barely fed myself (just a small cup), my 5yr old, and my 2yr old. It was mostly broth. This was ridiculous for that price. I am really disappointed. I would of been better off ordering two bowl size servings. It would of probably been about the same and cheaper. If you are thinking about ordering the group size, you are better off getting chicken noodle soup from Vons deli, same size for almost a third of the price! read more

My former favorite fast food place. This used to be my go to for a quick healthy lunch. Stale bread, stale coffee, dirty bathrooms (you need a code to get in), the standards have fallen. Disappointing service as well. read more

I really enjoy the bagels and bravo club sandwich here. I moved too Temecula a few years ago from out of state and I have to say this Temecula location is 10times better then all the other Panera's I have dined at. The Temecula location has turned me into a regular Panera customer. The service is also great and the store is well kept. Thank You! read more

Went to Panera Bread across from Costco here in Temecula and ordered their Broccoli Cheddar soup and two chicken cordon blue stacked toasted sandwiches baguette. The soups I must admit were great, however, the sandwiches only had some chicken with some kind of soggy white sauce. It had nothing else, no lettuce, no tomatoes, no other kind of greens nor cheese. I asked they remove the Black Forest Ham since this past Friday was a no meat eating day. With that, the cost of my sandwich was $14.89. I bought two of them (for family) and based on the picture advertised it looked good! When I got home to my surprise the sandwich was practically empty of everything OR anything that was advertised including barely any chicken.....AT ALL. I am truly disappointed at Panera Bread cheating customers on take out. This place is "cheap" in serving appropriately what is advertised! It is in appropriate cheating customers. I'm not surprised Panera Bread would do this sort cheating behind the counter on their sandwich servings. read more

Scary! The bacon on my take out sandwich was RAW!! Cold & uncooked. As if that wasn't bad enough, the tomatoes were past their prime & mealy. Had to pull them off the sandwich as well as the bacon. Sliced apple appeared to have been sliced during morning prep as it too was inedible & brown this evening. I even asked that the apple be fresh as I had this problem more than once in the past. Hope I don't get sick! Kinda sad when people just quit caring & management & corp don't care to respond to all these complaints. There are plenty of other sandwich shops in town. read more

I have a member subscription, so I go to Panera often to get coffee. They have great salad selections. I got Cobb salad today. The dressing is so yummy. Service is good always at counter and curb side pick up. The membership is free for me for over a year. I think it is a great system as a business to keep giving me a free membership, so I stop by for free coffee and spend some money for bread and more sometimes. read more

Perfect lunch for four at an affordable price. The broccoli cheddar soup was very tasty and was a nice compliment to the Caesar salad. The turkey avocado, bacon sandwich was a winner piled high with ingredients. My only disappointment was the lack of meat in the steak and cheddar sandwich. It was more bread than meat and had me wishing I ordered the turkey avocado bacon sandwich. Overall, beautifully packaged meal for four at an affordable price with fast no hassle pick up. read more

I've been going to Panera for years and am super excited to have a brand new one opening near me in the French Valley area. But I am giving this location a bad review due to lack of service. I came here late Saturday afternoon to grab a late lunch. This location does not take cash and I knew that because there is a sign on the door. When I went in, it was not busy and there was only 1 group ahead of me placing an order for about 4 people. After the group had placed their order and were getting ready to pay, the customer asked what some new pairings were that are like the Pick 2 but that have no options and you must get it the way it's offered but it is cheaper, so the customer changed her order all over again. I had already been waiting a while because one of the girls in their group didn't know what to order and it took her time to figure it out, but no big deal as I was not in a rush. Then finally they're going to pay and the cash register has an issue with the customer's phone number and it's not accepting it. So the cashier calls over the manager to help her out, which he does at another register, but now the cashier has to re-enter the entire order again to get the phone number to be accepted. I know for a fact that cashier had seen me standing there waiting and she could have asked her manager to please ring me up, but she didn't. She just ignored me. Now granted, I could have used the kiosk, but I had questions. When I heard the cashier tell the customer she was going to have to re-ring her whole order, I walked out and left. I went somewhere else to get my late lunch. So disappointing that this cashier could have done something and didn't. Hopefully the new location in French Valley will be more focused on providing great service. read more

Food was so great! However one of the workers was so rude to me! They said my order was ready and handed me my food and my drink, however when I got to my table I noticed my drink was wrong. So I had gone back up there and politely asked the younger man that he handed me the wrong drink and he said he would remake mine. Then an older lady came up to me and slammed the drink on the counter and told me "next time take the right drink and not someone else's". When I was HANDED the items! So rude!!!!!! read more

This is the second day in a row Panera Bread continues to carelessly pack to go orders and mess up mine specifically! This is so frustrating. I asked for Broccoli and Cheddar, not tomato. It is time you start taking pride in your job and do it better, Panera Bread staff. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Temecula, California

I like Panera Bread a lot, and I'm a member of their Sip Club. I used to come for a coffee break or a leisure lunch with my laptop. They recently covered up the plugs so I can't charge my laptop when I come, so I'm looking for another place to eat when I'm in Temecula. I would have given it 5 stars if they hadn't covered up their plugs because I like the food and coffee. read more

The food I got was good. But wayyyyyyy overpriced. I did the "you pick 2" and got the signature chicken sandwich ($9.99) and a cup of chicken noodle soup ($4.59). Imo, that sandwich is worth maybe $7 and the cup of soup about $3. Not sure I'd come back here for a meal. The pastries are decently priced and yummy. My kids like those. read more

Very slow service during lunch rush hour ,not the same since previous manager left unfortunately.

Watch out when you get a drink at this Panera. There are fruit flies all around the drink bar, and into the seating areas. That means every time you are drinking something from there, you are drinking fruit fly flavored drinks. Theyknow about it,how could theynot, because I saw an employee at the fruit drinks swatting them away. And do nothing about it. Wow. We are equal to third world standards at this place, it's in violation of the health code, and if an inspecter sees these fruit flies all around the place, they will either be shut down until they clean up or they will be fined. They deserve both. read more

+1: I come here to study and workers don't mind that. Its a nice cafe where I can eat and read and not be at home +1: The table service is nice, they are attentive to the customers and friendly The food is mediocre, the bread on my sandwich was stale. The macaroni and cheese was really good. The baguette was soft and crispy. so the price.. I rationalize with myself that it's justified because I have a place to study and would be the same if I were buying a 5 dollar drink at Starbucks. I don't mind paying, I am more concerned with getting the value of my money I had a 1/2 vege sandwich and cup of mac and cheese and it came with a piece of bread and a fountain drink. It was good, I like the ambiance more, it's like fast food but better, healthier options read more

No electric plugs. That sucks! I don't understand why. Is Panera being stingy to their customers by taking out electric plugs? You are going to lose a lot of customers. I'll find another branch which accommodates the needs of their customers. read more

Customer service sucks! It doesn't matter if you order prior they give away your cookies and refuse to fix their mistake or offer a refund. Instead they force you to substitute for a different kind or entirely don't make another fresh batch. So you are out of luck on a refund and out of luck on what you want. Store needs to be maintained cleaner, the bathrooms were disgusting and no toilet paper. Tables were not wiped down either. Shitty location with LAZY STAFF AND MANAGEMENT. read more

The new toasted baguettes are wonderful. As is the French onion soup. Prices are getting high, like everyplace , but worth it. The baguette will feed 2! I was bummed when I came in this week that salads were not available at all. Only reason it was just 4 stars. And they were slower, i could have used a kiosk, but I have not mastered that yet read more

They are amazing here at this Panera Bread! The management leads the way. Virginia, Annette, Sandy, Marlene and McKenzie are the management team. Jay is a server. They all deserve to be commended and given a raise! read more

Stopped to grab a bite at the end of a drive home from Mammoth Lakes. Had not been at a Panera's for a long time. I was not dissatisfied, I ordered a beef and cheddar sandwich. They use some horse radish sauce with gave it a nice taste. My wife got a half turkey sandwich with a salad. She was very pleased with both oft hem. It came with a baguette. Since indoor dining was closed for covid we couldn't eat inside. But there was a nice outdoor eating area for us to enjoy. The staffed were very friendly and accommodating. Greeted us and made sure we had what we needed to enjoy our meal. Gave us extra things when as asked. read more

Took a bite of this sandwich and there was paper what made it worse Panera bread did not give a crap about it.

Panera's has great pastry, I enjoy the salads but they are not consistent with there salads quality when they make changes in menu!

I see this as an effort to eliminate employees. To be honest without the personal touch you are half the business!!! read more

Wow the prices are insane for the small portions. $5 for a frozen lemonade that was maybe 10 ounces. All these self checkout machines are convenient but then the staff starts giving sub par service.

Great Panera Bread! Not sure what all the low reviews are about. It's a Panera Bread, and a very good one.

came to this branch for the first time! service was good. Got my food a little late but staff was prompt and nice. The self-order kiosks are pretty helpful if u know what u want & u don't feel like talking to anyone I ended up getting the pick 2 : corn chowder soup (very good!) & the Mac & cheese with salsa & avocado (very good as well!) I also got the full sized Thai chicken salad which was a little dry to me (I think it needed more sauce & the chicken was a bit too dry and cut up big for me). But overall it tasted good! read more
