After a disappointing experience elsewhere, my son and I decided to stop by Panera, and we're glad we did. The fresh food was exactly what we were looking for. We ordered the You Pick Two and chose the Toasted Italiano sandwich and the Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad, which came with a complimentary French baguette. The salad was absolutely delicious and packed with grilled chicken. It was fresh, flavorful, and packed with ingredients. The poppyseed dressing was a standout, and since this salad is seasonal, I highly recommend trying it while it's available. The Toasted Italiano was warm, satisfying, and held up well from the first bite to the last. We also tried the Dragonfruit Sunset Energy Refresher, which was light, refreshing, and included real pieces of dragonfruit. Panera continues to be one of my go-to spots for salads, sandwiches, and soups. The food is consistently fresh, and every visit has been a good one. Definitely recommended! read more

Came in around 5 minutes ago to start my day. Get my favorite bagel and my fresh cup of hazelnut coffee. Started my morning relaxed then to have to walk into a hostile work environment. While I was ordering I noticed which I believe to be the manager yelling at an employee about some syrups that were under the smoothies machines. Something she noticed yesterday Honeslty this is not what I want to walk into especially talking to the employee in that tone of voice in front of the customers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus they had a full house of customers waiting in line.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love coming here until today made me not want to return, but I do love them bagels and coffee. read more

I've been feeling a little under the weather with a stubborn cough lately and the only thing I've been wanting to eat is soup. Panera had a nice soup deal going on that was 2 bowls for $14 which I thought was a perfect amount. I love that it comes with some sour dough bread as well. Their chicken noodle and broccoli cheddar always hit the spot! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's super cute inside and great for studying.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a hit or miss to find a table with an outlet. Those spots are usually taken unless you hang around for a few hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a pretty busy complex so while parking is free you typically have to park a little farther out and walk! If you go during non-peak hours, you might get lucky and find a closer parking spot! read more

Once a favorite. The staff are friendly and helpful. Food, Including bread, quality has gone down. Nothing is as fresh as it once was. Portions are smaller. Too many better places to eat in town. I hope the corporate management wakes up . Shareholders deserve a return but they will eventually get no return is the company continues it's current trajectory. read more

I ordered a BLT Chicken Avocado Sandwich. Everything was processed highly. You can taste the difference. Panera is supposed to be healthy. I don't eat mayo, and that was an accident that could've been fixed, but not the processing. The cashier that completed the refund was very kind, but the cashier that took the initial order was unprofessional. read more

I am beyond satisfied with the service I received here. A small mistake was made in my order and they went above and beyond to make things right. Bree and the manager/owner? gave me much more than I had originally ordered on the house just to make up for it. For the service and devotion to customer service I will continue to support this location! read more

I dead ass felt crazy the entire time. I am a 15-year-old girl I walk in with my bike and the manager looks at me and says what are you doing here he was in a blue shirt, short man about my height. He asked me again what am I doing here and then I can't come in with my bike. I don't have a bike lock so he tells me to put it in the lobby area. OK not a big deal if you had been nicer about it it would've been better but whatever I shan't return here I was damn near on the verge of tears and now I'm eating outside because I wasn't allowed to eat in the restaurant pic below. the mac & cheese is delicious though read more

I ordered their 1/2 mediterranean salad, sans arugula and basil. Practically all of the greens are arugula. Very disappointed in the size of the salad, even though it was half an order there is very little with a lot of croutons on top, and the entire greens are arugula. I realize that is quite redundant but I wanted to emphasize that my order was not as requested. The Caesar dressing was exceptionally bitter. The problem with ordering online is that one has no recourse to rectify the discrepancies. Sad to spend so much and not receive what was anticipated. Another restaurant to avoid online ordering. read more

The Dippers they are featuring now, specifically the Roast Beef with au jus. It is so tasty and fresh. I highly recommend them

It took 10 minutes for a plain bagel to even be brought up in the conversation. After those 10 minutes, they all exchanged puzzled looks, unsure of who could provide the bagel. But that wasn't the only issue; the coffee had run out, and you had to ask multiple times for a refill at the dispensary. Panera used to service, food quality, ambiance but the Visalia location has left not much to be desired. Lost another customer. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite on Feb 1. Ordered the chicken cranberry walnut sandwich and cup of soup. The half sandwich was literally the size of a playing card, and it had a scant bit of the chicken salad that didn't begin to cover to the edges of the bread... maybe a tablespoon and a half. It tasted fine... but certainly was not worth 17 dollars and change including my soda. Never, ever again. Talk about ripping off your customers. So if you think that your sandwich will look like the yummy picture on the menu... think again. read more

I give the Visalia Panera 5 stars! I used them for catering and delivery and they were great! I ordered the Green Goddess salad , it was beautiful and the dressing is delicious! It came with cut up bread pieces on the side that were yummy and could be dipped into the dressing, yum! The dressing. I think was a combination of pesto, basil and garlic, you can look it up online. It was delicious! We also ordered a large fruit salad, it was perfect. Nice combination of , seasonal fruit: cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries and honeydew. It was delicious and beautiful. A small mistake was made on the order and Armond (spelling?) was the best and delivered the missing item personally and so quickly! To me that is excellent customer service. The delivery service was right on time and it was packaged perfectly with a great bag that it came in, along with tongs, utensils, large paper plates and napkins! I highly recommend this restaurant! I love going into the restaurant locations and the food is always fresh and delicious along with a great variety of menu items! I would definitely use this location and the delivery service again and soon for summer parties. Kudos to the Visalia team. They were great on communication and very friendly. Sorry no pictures! Beautiful presentation. read more

If I have to be completely honest, I feel like I'm leaving tons of 5 star reviews. Panera deserves it though, this location out of the ten or more times I've been there, never disappoints. The food is always phenomenal, today I ordered their new chicken noodle soup in a bread bowl, with a summer fruit cup and a Madagascar vanilla cold brew. And just like every past experience I've had, this one was just as good. I think Panera bread is my weakness guys, I mean the coffee choices and soup choices are insane. Like soup? Like coffee? Like bagels and sandwiches? Then what are you waiting for? Go change your life for the better by experiencing Panera bread. read more

For over $15.00 for a medium salad I expected it to be great! It didnt come close to good! Disappointed! I've only eaten at Panera Bread a few times. I've liked their soup and sandwichs during those times. Today, on a rare occasion I used their drive through to order salads - the Ranch Southwest with chicken. The salads were tasteless. I was expecting yummy and I got not yummy. It was pretty much a bowl of lettuce with some tomatoes and chicken with a few dots of avacado and a lot of corn. The only southwest thing about it was the corn. Near the end of eating it, I detected a little cilantro. Needless to say I will not be going to Panera bread ever again. read more

Food was cold, service was slow, workers making your food cussing up a storm. Totally unprofessional

Let me just start by saying this place has the rudest cashiers ever. I got my pastry's cold and when I asked if they could warm them up because every other location I have gone to has done it for me she told me to use the microwave in the lobby. Our breakfast sandwiches were cold as if they had called other orders before us. It took them about 15 minutes to come refill the coffee station that was completely out at 8am definitely will not be back. If you have the time just drive to the Hanford location handsome down the best around food wise and customer service read more

Is it customary to charge your customer due to your negligence? They ran out of croutons. I asked I'm that case could I have an extra slice of bread. It looks like they took the average slice of bread and cut it in half; called it two, and then charged me for it.. I ordered a pastry, then had to get the gal behind the counter go get it.. read more

Customer service definitely needs to be worked on. For example couple weeks ago I order rapid pick up, I get a notification it's ready, I go up to the rapid pick up shelf and it's not there so I am patiently waiting. Then 2 girls see me at first don't acknowledge me ,fine cool probably busy, a girl asks for the name and then she goes behind the counter and giggles with the other coworker saying "she was standing there for a fat minute". Now this time same thing I'm standing there waiting for my order that was said to be ready, except a man who seems to have a manager shirt on asks for the name and in the middle of me saying the name he walks away with an attitude. then another girl, sweet girl, hands me my order and says have a nice day. I work in the industry trust me I get it when it's busy but the rapid pick up system clearly needs to be rearranged if it stresses the store out that bad. I understand ever since corner bakery closed business may have doubled however management needs to consider changes. read more

Based on my last 3 orders from here. I will not be ordering from the Visalia, CA location again. Tonight was the last straw. I had to wait for my RAPID ORDER . I only get 30 minutes for my lunch. I ordered this for pickup at 5pm. Thinking it will be in the RAPID ORDER pickup section. I get there and it is now t there. I noticed a line for the RAPID ORDER'S. By the way it was 5:24 when I got there and when I left it was 5:39. Thank goodness I don't work to far away. But still that was not enough time to enjoy my food & relax for a few minutes before having to head back to my work station. So again I will not be ordering from the Visalia,CA (PACKWOOD PARK) anymore. read more

I ordered the Asiago Bagel sandwich for breakfast, the orange yuzu drink and a pecan roll which is very well priced. The service is very attentive, friendly and very welcoming. The ambiance is very clean with relaxing music playing in background.
