Food is superb, but a bit on the expensive side (for a college student). Perfect place to use free wifi and get homework done!

Jose does a great job managing this Panera Bread. Always friendly and will make sure he takes care of you for any lunch catering ordering. Good food, great prices. I use them for both breakfast and lunch catering orders. I have not had any problems with them! I will continue to give them my catering business in this area. My favorite is the Turkey Sierra sandwich and the Fuji apple salad. Their breakfast souffles are a great addition to the breeakfast menu. I sill love the Bacon/egg/cheese on ciabatta tho! read more

I love Panera. It's my go-to when I have some extra cash to burn. The soups and breads are wonderful. My past employer used to offer a cake or Panera bagels for your birthday. Needless to say, 90% of people opted for the bagels. Awesome stuff! read more

First of all, I love Panera Bread. Everything I have ever had there is great! I'm sure many people think the same because this Panera Bread was jammed packed the day I went during lunch. It was crazy! I had to wait for a place to sit with my son, brother, and mother for like 20 minutes! I was really annoyed to see people just sitting with out any food on the table just yapping away while I stood there carrying my baby and food! The employees should maybe push those pesky people out. That's why this particular Panera location was just a 3 star for me. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE Panera and am so happy that they are in Turlock. I'm addicted to their grilled chicken ceasar salad!!!!! The portion size is great as well...I could eat there every day! read more

As I sit here eating my chicken Cobb salad I wonder why I paid so much for an ok salad and an ice tea. Yes, it's convenient because of location, space, quick service and free wifi, but I don't think the quality of food fits the price. I'll think twice before I come back, I rather take my money else where and receive customer service and a dine in experience with the amount of money I paid for a quick fast food service where I bus my own table here and might I add its freezing, turn down the AC please. read more

I absolutely love this place. The food is amazing as well as the customer service.

Great place for lunch! Came here with some classmates for a lunch/study break and found it to be a great environment...on certain days lol. Probably would avoid Fridays & the weekends because there are so many people and families with kids. I ordered a frontega chicken hot panini & a cream of chicken and wild rice soup. Yummerz! One of my classmates ordered a thin crust veggie pizza which smelled amazing and another classmate ordered a Thai chopped chicken salad which looked very tasty. They both liked their dishes and I definitely liked mine so I'd say we were all very satisfied! read more

Love Panera. I usually get the whole Cesar chicken salad w/ mango shake & maybe a chocolate fudge brownie. However, there has been a couple of times where my order was not correct and I had to go back and fix it. It's not really a big deal just something I noticed in the past few weeks that I've been there read more

I always like Panera for a salad or soup that's a little healthier. Their salads are huge too! It's a good place for college students during a break. read more

I absolutely love this place. I usually order online and select a time. The food is always ready when expected. I love their french onion soup and broccoli cheddar. I have even convinced my husband to try their sandwiches and he is now a fan as well. read more

Quick update to my previous, positive review. We've ordered take-out from here a couple of times for work meetings and the quality and service was excellent. It's now our go-to spot for lunch meetings :-) read more

I was driving down the Central Valley on business and stop in here for a quick break and snack. I've been to Panera's before in SF and Solano County and know that their baked goods were a good choice. For a Bakery & Restaurant Chain, they are very good and consistent in their products. I like their bagels and apple pastry, very tasty and price reasonably. read more

Great, fresh food fast. If you want to order it and leave, you wont wait long. You can also chose to sit there and eat, and enjoy their free wi-fi and the very relaxed atmosphere. Give it a try, you will love it! read more

Always a good stop that doesn't take too long, but doesn't feel like fast food.

Great place for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Panera always has been a healthy option to eating when on the go. Breakfast: My personal favorite bagel with cream cheese is the jalapeno and cheddar bagel with the veggie cream cheese! They have a large variety of bagels and cream cheeses. They also have a few breakfast sandwiches which can be served on ciabatta bread or one of the bagels. Lunch/Dinner: They have a extensive variety of sandwiches, soups, salads, and pastas. Everything is made fresh to order. I usually do not get anything with meat from here because the meat barely has any flavor. The meat is of good quality however! My personal favorite is the Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich with Tomato Soup. Each full sandwich comes with a pickle spear. If you get a combo, you also get a choice of apple, chips, or baguette for a side. I am a big fan of Panera but sometimes, I crave something flavorful therefore I go other places. The Mediterranean Veggie sandwich is very flavorful; that is why I love it! I have family members who enjoy the turkey sandwich and ham sandwiches. read more

This review isn't for the food, but for not having a sign in place letting customers know, that the drive through is only for Panera customers and not Chipotle too? Your set-up there is confusing. I wasted 15 of my 30 min. lunch sitting in a line I shouldn't have been in? You said "A lot of people mistake it for being the Chipotle drive through"? Then kindly put a sign up, so that folks like me in a hurry, don't get trapped in. read more

my bagel sat on the counter for a good 5 mins because they never switched my name on the screen to "ready" status, nor did they tell me it was ready. and the blonde in the back told me it was mine so she knew i'd been waiting all that time. Starbucks it is! read more

I usually drop in whenever I am super busy between work and school. This place is my little treat to myself. The atmosphere is relaxing and the staff is always friendly... I am beginning to the think they are highly advanced robots. I cannot complain though. They really do have things under control at this location. read more

Delicious sandwiches!!!!! What I am not eating stale bread??? Fresh, fresh, fresh. Yum yum yum. This is my new favorite sandwich spot in Turlock, sorry Togos goodbye!!!! read more

LOVE their soups - especially when they're served in a fresh sourdough bread bowl! I'll admit... I leave there in a major carb coma every time - but its sooooo good! I've tried a few of their paninis as well, and they are also very good. Always friendly staff & free wi-fi :) read more

Great fresh, tasty and healthy food. Like that you can get iced coffee and two types of iced tea as a fountain drink. The portions of the cup of soup and 1/2 salad are larger when you eat there, instead of 'to go'. Friendly staff! read more

Very good macaroni and chesse like white alfredo best in turlock in my oppinon give it a try

This place has a great selection of salad, soups and sandwiches. The only thing that really stops me from going here though is how overpriced it it though :-/ I hoe early don't think it's fair to charge someone that order a half salad and sandwich and a bowl of soup and a drink $16. Something about that doesn't sit right with me. I would much rather spend a few more dollars and go somewhere else and get more for my money. This place does however have nice seating inside and outside and is a nice place if you want something casual. But be warned, it is on the pricey side. read more

Come here early so you can get the Cheese and Artichoke souffle! Nice and pipping hot when you get em. Really delish! Employees are all nice. read more

My favorite place . Staff always so nice welcoming

Omg I love panera! Could literally eat here every day. Broccoli cheddar soup over EVERYTHING!!! The chicken Caesar sandwich is heaven and I DIE for their chocolate croissants warmed up. Service is alway super quick no matter how busy. read more

I give this place 5 stars for their healthy options and the food is always excellent. Other than that the cashier was not very helpful and when my date & I got our sandwiches we were not pleased to basically make the sandwich ourselves! The meat and produce was slopped on like they did a lazy job (there is nobody in here so it's not a busy time). Other than my little rant I would recommend Panera. read more

Fast, clean, and friendly. The food was delicious and people were super nice and my food was ready by the time I sat down. Tables were being cleaned as soon as people were leaving. I'll be back for sure. read more

The food was burnt. Turned it back two times. Second time I was told it did not look burnt. Hmm.... service was rushed internet and parking a nightmare read more

Pretty good sandwiches and salads. It's just a little pricey since the drink is separate. Also I have a reward card but that doesn't even make it worth the price. read more

I was working in the Turlock area for a few months so I decided to stop by for Coffee on a break. When I walked up to the counter one of the employees was extremely rude and gave me a dirty look as I approached. Mind you, this was my first time in a Panera. I was not happy. After I paid for my drink, and went to sit down, every time I would look up she would be shooting me dirty looks. No idea what this woman's problem was but I will never return. Horrible service! read more

Good lunch spot... Great bread for a chain type place! Very clean.

Hard to beat Panera if you need a clean, convenient place to work and have a cup of coffee.

It's great to be able to stop by here on the way to work. It's never really that busy around 6AM, which is great. I always grab a power smoothie and sometimes a breakfast sandwich. Never had a problem with the service. Though, if you want some of their bread, make sure to make it there early. read more

Great delicious food! But the service was terrible The cashiers were unfriendly. The manager that rang me up was unfriendly and rude too

Only my second Panera bread experience ever. Both have been in California, and both were terrible. Bacon was floppy and weird, soup was good, but service was bad and people weren't nice. Go elsewhere. And there were NO bagels at 11:20 in the morning?? read more

Another Panera Bread cafe that has disappointed me. My friend and I went there for lunch last week. Prior to even getting at the cafe, I called them and asked them if they were serving the black bean soup. I had no idea that they weren't selling it at the time and when I asked the lady about it, she was confused as if she were new. I kept telling her that I was asking about the black bean soup and then she finally said to me that it's discontinued. I said, "Oh. I had no idea." And before I could even say thank you for the information, she simply hung up on me. I was thinking is this how this Panera Bread location treats their customers? I was not pleased at all. So the next day, I called back and talked to the manager and told him about the experience. He didn't apologize for the service I received and just thanked him for letting him know. How could you not apologize, as a manager, for the rude service that one of your employees gave a customer over the phone?! I wasn't pleased in that aspect at all. Moving along, I went in there and I ordered my half sized portion of the Spicy Thai Chicken Salad with a baguette on the side. I even ordered a drink to go along with that l and when the cashier asked me if I wanted to add a pastry for 99 cents, I said no thank you. But she sounded like she was really trying to convince me to add a pastry because she was like, "Are you sure? It's only 99 cents." Once again, I told her no thank you. My friend then ordered her food and once again, the cashier did the same thing. She was trying to make us pay another dollar for something we didn't want. I can't remember her name but she needs to be trained to not push people for getting a 99 cent pastry when they clearly tell you that they don't want one. Overall, the food was good but the service is awful here. They need to work on it more. read more

I enjoy Panera's sandwiches and tomato soup. However, I am very picky when it comes to the atmosphere of where I eat and when it is packed, I don't enjoy eating on their dirty tables and booth chairs, which are the only ones usually left opened. Overall, the employees are usually very sweet and their food is good. read more

I've gone here a few times, and personally, I've never thought anything to be stellar. As with today: ordered the Smokehouse Turkey panini, but it wasn't wonderful...the bread was not crisp or buttery the way a great panini is. I guess I keep hoping something will become a favorite, but so far, nothing has. I am much more impressed with the Village Baking Company in Modesto, where the food tastes much more fresh and home-made. I think the only thing I would go back for is there shortbread cookie, which was crisp, buttery, and delicious. Sampled the brownie too, but I wouldn't buy it again. read more
