One of my favorite lunch spots. You can't go wrong here. Bread is so fresh and great. Muffins and Bagels also... Soups are always great, just sucks when they switch days and only have certain soups. The Green Tea is a special blend they have only. Must ask for a big cup. Also other meals and items that are unique and great also. First time I had Panera was Stockton, now Turlock and also Sacramento. read more

I keep trying this place because everyone else raves about it, but I have yet to be impressed. The sandwiches always sound incredible when you're reading the menu, but when you get them, they are surprisingly mundane. The chips are an abomination, and the coffee is mediocre at best. The dining room has too many tables for the space allotted, and you have to bus your own tables! They do have some excellent baked goods, but I don't think that's what most people are looking for. When it comes to coffee and sandwiches, I'd rather got to Starbucks. I can't believe I just said that. read more

Worst service EVER. I have tried multiple times, but always the same. First off, They never bring out my curbside pick up orders. I always end up having to go inside, then half my order is missing. It's RIDICULOUS. My mac and cheese is ALWAYS never cooked all the way. They mess up on sandwiches I order. I am done with this Panera. read more

Panera is one of those places that I always forget about, but once I am there I tell myself I need to eat there more often. I always seem to get the roast beef asiago sandwich with the kettle chips. I am never dissapointed in the food or the service! The only reason I am giving 4 starts instead of 5 is that each time I have had a sandwich here, I need to open it to rearrange the meat. They seem to layer it all on one half, and I want it spread out, so there's meat in every bite. Other than that small complaint, I am a huge fan! read more

Nothing is better than a tasty soup in a sourdough bread bowl. And seeing how I am not a chowder fan, I am often left out. Then came Panera, offering all their soups in fresh bread bowls, even togo (happy little cup of soup waiting to be poured into the bread bowl). I am a fan of the french onion soup and bacon turkey bravo, but I have never been let down by any salad or sammie I have tried. I miss their pizzas tho :-( Also, they offer a great selection of baked goods and fresh bread. Love that bread you got for your sammie? Take a loaf home! Great service too. read more

We utilize their catering services every single week. They don't save reoccurring orders, they don't save credit card information, they don't even remember who I am week to week. I ordered online this time and they lost my order then "found it" when I called the next morning when we needed the food. They said they'd be here "in 15 minutes" but it's been 30 minutes and we're still waiting. The manager wouldn't even work out a deal with us since we order all the time, he acts like he's too busy to meet. Don't act like you have it all and know it all when your staff can't even function properly. Step it up. Now that they've delivered they messed up the order. Wow. read more

We love Panera when we want something in between fast food and restaurant dining. The food is fresh and delicious though often takes a little longer than expected. read more

Service and food are good. However when you walk to get a seat and you see all these people with no food or drink just books and papers it is maddening. For lunch they need to monitor their dining room a little better and push those people out so paying customers can find a seat. Back on December 11th, 2013 Finding a table is still difficult. Most people are not even eating. Just taking up space doing homework. I had to sit close to the door where it is sooooo cold. read more

I consistently work & eat from Panera Bread locations. This location has become "home-base" and the staff is attentive & friendly. Only gripe as with most PB locations is the slow system implemented for the hot water. I'll continue to frequent Panera Bread for the healthy & yummy offerings and good - great customer service I've grown accustomed. read more

I was so shocked for the price what you get. I use to love Panera but this one I have to say finally was the last. I took my little girls in there. We all had a 1/2 sandwich & a cup of soup a total of 3. my girls had 2 small drinks I had free water. the total was almost 50.00 i was so shocked. When the food arrived the cup of soups were more a half cup of soup. the meals didn't fill us up at all. I spent so much I didn't even have enough left for them to have a treat. Plus the store was dirty and the manager is rude. when you go to order they rush you and when you have 2 kids trying to figure out what they would like and a cashier going on and on it is so difficult especially when you suffer from anxiety . I was so stressed when i left. Never again. read more

the atmosphere was not what i expected but very nice. The woman bathroom was DISGUSTING! i forgot to take a picture of it :( My sandwich The chipotle chicken was nothing special.. In fact it tasted EXACTLY the same as Taco Bell's chicken quesadilla lol For the price of our meal we were better off going across the street to red robin. The portions were small. At first i thought my husband's sandwich (Asiago Roast Beef) was a childs meal. Oh and the cook didnt give us our pickle! read more

First I want to proclaim my love for Panera food and pastries! That being said I think the customer service really lacks at this location. Every time I go in the person ringing me up at the register is always concerned with someone else or something else. read more

Food: 2/5 Atmosphere/cleanliness: 5/5 This is the first Panera Bread I have been to so I didn't know what do expect. I like sandwiches but I feel the small portions didn't justify the $6+ prices for some of these sandwiches. I had the Turkey SmokeHouse, it was a very...thin sandwich. The taste was average, nothing really special you couldn't make at home. I feel like $6 should get you a big sandwich with all the fixings, but many of the meat sandwiches don't have lettuce or veggies (except tomatos/tomato sauce). Although I had a good experience, the quality of food and price will not bring me back. Th atmosphere was very nice though, there were 2 person booths which were very nice. It's a good sit down place to talk with friends. The cashiers are also very friendly. I saw alot of families with kids there too. read more

Food is good, but they suck at getting orders correct. Take out is useless in this regard.

The place is very clean. Great customer service and a very nice set up. It is roomy and there is even a conference table for larger groups. It is the perfect place to study because of the cozy atmosphere. There rewards card comes in handy too. Many good offers like free drink or pastry is a great treat. This is my favorite place in eat in Turlock. read more

Panera Bread - Broccoli cheddar bread bowl. - Sandwiches Near Me - Turlock, California

Just another Panera Bread. It was almost empty at 8:30pm on a Sunday night. I got the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich with Tomato-Basil soup. We also got an order of Butternut Squash soup. I didn't really like the Chicken sandwich, though it is my usual order at any Panera Bread. read more

Writing this as an update to my original review. At the time I had only tried the bagels. I am still not a fan of the bagels but friends and family have talked me into going there quite a few times since for lunch and I have to say the sandwiches, soups and few pastries I have tried are quite good. My favorite is the roast beef on cheese demi and a cup of French onion soup. Chocolate macadamia cookie is a nice sweet treat. read more

I totally expected the food to be great since it was organic like the chicken and eggs. BUT its not great. Ive had the chicken tortellini which was a total disappointment, i had to force myself to eat the chicken so i wouldn't waste it or my money. It wasn't delicious. Ive had the egg white spinach avocado sandwich and it was not great either. I even put salt but it didn't make a difference. The cheese wasn't even melted. Ive had the turkey avocado sandwich. Its just bland, no good flavor or anything. Wont be returning for food. The ONLY good thing there was the bread. Bread was delicious. Power fruit smoothie was okay. Lemonade is okay too. I wouldn't waste my money here on their food. read more

I ordered lunch to go from here today. Other than the fact that they don't tell you to move down to the other end of the counter to pick up your food and they don't call out your name when the food is ready... Food was great! Although, I probably should have notices the sign that says "pick up here". read more

Although I've only been here four times I can definitely say the food is really good. Their customer service is good too. I have gotten the "You Pick 2". I've tried the Broccoli cheddar and it is very creamy and fill of flavor. I have also gotten the Smoked Turkey sandwich and it is very rich in flavor. I have gotten their strawberry smoothie and iced green tea. All very good food at a decent price. Their service is Respectful and prompt. Unique system of ordering with the buzzers that vibrate when your order is ready. read more

See all

Placed an order but I got it wrong twice, how it's too complicated that they keep missing the extra ingredients that are pay extra for it, they usually ok , but every now and then orders come wrong and when we asked them to fix we still getting wrong? So what is next ? Order something and you get what they want to give you? Even though we're paying for! read more

Every visit, the tables and chairs are filthy. There is always one item forgotten when my order is given out. Honestly, though, just more attention to messes around the restaurant would make a huge difference. Staff is friendly. read more

Overpriced and overrated. I had what was supposedly a Greek salad. It was mainly kale and iceberg lettuce. The cheese was chopped in teeny tiny pieces and there was only a handful of quinoa. Waste of money. The ingredients would cost less than the stupid salad, and you could make 6 salads! read more

I love coming to panera BUT today was not the best service I got. The bowl of soup wasn't even half full and my capuchino cup was filled with lipstick marks before I drank it. read more

Costumer service is the worst every one always looks so mad. And if they mess up your order they act like it's your fault. And if you ask them to toast your bagels they are so upset. read more

The employees are always nice but every single time I come here in the morning they never have any four cheese souffles.

Ordered a half sandwich a kids grilled cheese and a cookie for my daughter. It was $15. Pretty expensive if you ask me. We didn't even get drinks but my daughter was hungry. The sandwich was so burnt it tasted horrible. I had no time to go back in and after that i really didn't want another one anyways. I was disgusted with how this one looked and tasted. If i wanted a burnt sandwich i could have made one at home. Probably won't be back. read more

Hubby brought over some scones and a cinnamon bun. They get one star for the ginger apple (?) scone. Reasonably buttery and moist. The other scone and the bun were a disaster. Dry as saw dust, and tough as hockey pucks. I guess one could liken this to a bad Tindr date. The pic looked good but it was all downhill after that. Trust me Turlockers, we have way way better options than this one , Leave it for the out-of-towners and the unsuspecting tourists. read more

The customer service at this branch is number one in terms of making the customer's experience easy and stress free. My order was incorrect on Monday, however when I called, the manager was not combative or defensive. She made me feel like my experience mattered and that she would do what she could to "right" the "wrong" if you will. I picked up the missing parts of my order seamlessly with the new manager on shift, who had trusted the prior manager's decision. Incredible experience, and will definitely be frequenting there more often now read more

Went to Panera for a quick breakfast and ordered the steak and egg bagel and an iced latte. The bagel was clearly microwaved and the egg must have been a robin egg because it was the smallest over easy egg I have ever seen. Hidden under egg the there was two very small chunks of steak. The meat and egg literally did not even cover half the of the bagel and looked nothing like the picture on the menu. We were in the middle of a break between games of a softball tourney so there was no going back or I would have gotten my money back. never again Panera, never again! read more

I love their salads & sandwiches!!! Friendly staff. Has rewards program & online ordering options. Clean and nice study environment or quite time read more

The food is great but the waitress/manager Maria needs to be put in check. My boyfriend and I eat there once a week and each time she manages to get into an argument with a customer. Very rude with customers and employees. It's a shame such a great establishment has that type of person working there. But again the food is great and the restaurant is very clean. read more

The worst Panera ever. I am not sure why I even tried them again. It was a simple order - lightly toasted bagel - it was Burnt to a crisp! And they had an attitude when I returned it. read more

Panera Bread - This was the lightly toasted bagel I ordered! - Sandwiches Near Me - Turlock, California

I've been in here a few times to order 24 croissants.. One time, i was looking to order 48.. Everytime, i walk out without ordering. My mom has cancer and the only thing she can keep down is a croissant sandwich the way the hospital makes it. I wish they would listen when i say the lady in the front is rude. Me: id like to order 24 croissants, please." before i can ask what time theyll re ready rhe following morning, im always cutoff when she laughs and says, "sorry sweetie. They wont be ready today." no duh smart ass.. Thays why im trying to ORDER them.. For PICK-UP! Fml.. No use... read more

I come here at least once a week. There is one annoying cashier, and one of the head people in charge has kind of been rude to me and other customers a few times. As far as the food goes, I have never had any complaints except sometimes there is barely any dressing in my Caesar salad, but they will fix that if you tell them. Love the free wifi, which is at all if not most Panera Breads. read more

Love Panera. It's definitely a go to for our family on a Saturday morning. There's something for everyone from bagels, pastries, salads, pastas, sandwiches, and coffee of course ;) Only thing negative thing is sometimes the breakfast sandwiches aren't consistent. But I will say this, more times than not, I get a well made sandwich. read more

Panera Bread is an Oasis in the North-West end of Turlock. In a town utterly infatuated with high-fat and fast-food culture, there are only a few places to go to find food that won't leave you with veins in need of roto-rooter. Panera presents a menu drastically different from most you will find within 30-40 miles of Turlock. Sandwiches, Soups, Salads, Breads, Pastries, Coffee, and most or all of it organic and free from other pesky things like Hydrogenated Oils. (Side note: Hydrogenated and Partially-Hydrogenated oils remain solid at body temperature. Therefore, you can imagine what happens when they get into your system. It's like consuming something loaded with wax or axle grease. Literally.) Because Panera stays clear of them, the food doesn't leave you feeling like you just ate from a fuel pump. The prices are also fair and decent for what you are getting. Free Wireless Internet Access. Yep. read more

What happened to the service?! Food is fine but nobody cares about even pretending to be nice. Can't stand places that act like you're bugging them by being a customer. read more

I Have been a long time customer of Panera and never dissatisfied with anything I received here. Especially not the portion size! The soups are some of the best around here and the cinnamon crunch bagel is amazing! You won't be disappointed here. read more

Dude - Panera is the best. So much on the menu - you could never get bored. And it's dramatically healthier (but still tasty) than most quick places in town. Turlock needs more places like Panera. Seriously - go there. You won't be disappointed. I like getting an apple as a side and saving it for later. .... Later! read more
