Dis-A-Pointment: Prices are way too high for what they're given. On my sandwich they gave a "lil meat" with my bread. When I say a lil, I mean "where's the beef?" ... I ordered two identical meals but got one with a chip and one with a baguette. No Bueno. Anyway - that was followed by two soups, no spoon. Do better please.

This is the worst Panera ever. Every time I order drive thru they forget things. Today my wife ordered the strawberry chicken poppy seed salad and they skipped the chicken. A few times they forget the sides. For an expensive place it sucks really bad. I remember when Panera used to be good. Again worst Panera location ever. More

I love Panera bagels but their food is mediocre at best. The workers are all very kind and I have never had an issue with them. I also just found out the other day that this place has a drive through? It’s kinda hidden but a great place, steep exit tho with kind of a lip. Would not recommend taking lowered cars through.

Quick hearty meals in a nice atmosphere. Little outside patio at this location. The Pick Two is my favorite, but today I tried a "Baja Grain Bowl with Chicken." I wish it were just with rice as I'm not a fan of quinoa. Flavor was good with a bit of kick, but a bit heavy on the lime.

  • Adriana Alcaraz

I really enjoyed my dining experience here. April was such a sweet heart when ordering my meal and Anton the manager came by to touch my table and see if i needed anything additional. The both were warm and happy .The food was great and it seems to be a great environment for all .

  • Jere Smith

I have always loved the Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich, until now. When I got home I thought I'd been given the wrong to go order. It was some chicken, a tiny bit of lettuce, no almonds and 1 tiny slice of grape. It was an expensive plain sandwich which I did not enjoy. More

  • Manny Calderon

Worst service ever. The coffee was cold and sandwiche was to be little to be desired. And they asked me to heat up the coffee my self. With horrible attitude. Don't go there. It's better to go to the chell station or subway. And not inexpensive. Also they had no soup. More

  • Waleed Sharaf

Always fresh and hot or fresh and cold, depending on what you order! Anyway you like it...with smiling and fast service to boot. How can you go wrong? It's even better now with the Coffee Club Membership for $9/month. Try it out! Curbside delivery is my favorite.

Just a couple Old Medicare Agents chatting about Medicare options over a cup of Coffee at Panera Bakery in Poway....Super clean, quiet atmosphere, and fast service.....I recommend Panera Bakery to everybody! Jay Gray and David Wolfe - MobleMedicareMan(dot)com

  • Rick Wulfe

I ordered the grilled cheese and bacon. The sandwich and drink was $16.00 I think that is a little rich. It was ok at best. It is actually a toasted cheese sandwich. It was bland and/ but the chips were nice. All said, I'm taking that off my go-to list. More

  • Katrina Lopez

Gave as half sandwich instead of whole. I spoke to the manager and very apologetic and told me I can come in and get a whole sandwich for free anytime, and let me know he added me to a list (got my name and phone). Went in a few days later,

  • Nina Ruth Bruno

5 stars for politeness - everybody here is always very kind, so that's a huge plus, and I wish I could give it an overall 4 or 5 stars, but the actual Panera quality of food and the fact that they always run out of things definitely knocked

  • Roxana Shahriari

I love paneras food and I order a lot from their different locations (mostly this location) but I’m disappointed to say that 80% of the time my order has an issue. There’s been times that items were missing or the wrong item was given to us

  • J Boyce

Their food is mediocre at best. We got kitchen sink cookies that has flaky salt on top...looked like powdered sugar it was so thick. Grilled cheese was barely grilled. Tomato soup was a bit watery and weak. 15 years ago Panera was one of my

  • Christina Johnson

The customer service is very poor here five people behind the counter chitchatting and laughing no one asked what order I was waiting for. It’s a good thing I was paying attention because after the girl packed my order instead of asking me

  • Hannah

i don’t write reviews ever and we don’t like to complain, but my mom had a horrible experience and we usually love panera. she ordered a turkey sandwich with just lettuce on it, but the cashier was confused and kept getting the order wrong

I order 2+hrs in advance for luncheons all the time, I travel often and Panera is a staple in my routine for these luncheons. I always order $100+ orders and this time I placed my order 3 hours in advance. When I arrived not only did they

  • Sam Bates

This is my third and final attempt at visiting a west coast Panera. I used to love Panera on the east coast, but west coast standards seem to be missing. This particular one had a stale smell and no air conditioning on a 90 degree day. I

  • Cori Nichols

I have to agree with the other reviews. We ordered at the kiosk and found they were out of many items such as bread and chips for the sides and tomatoes for the pizza. We ordered the Strawberry Poppyseed Salad and a half sandwhich with a

  • Jm Kachal

Great sandwiches, very friendly staff. One star off for the meager meat in my steak and cheddar sandwich. After i opened and evened out the distribution of the meat that was clumped in a small pile a bit off center in the sandwich there

  • Beverly Quock

Make sure to check your order BEFORE leaving if you order take out! One of the items we had ordered was an asian sesame chicken salad with added edamane, and when I opened my order at home, it just looked like a sad salad. There was NO

  • KC Lowe

This Panera Bread sucks. They seem to rotate employees every few months. I notice that the whole staff seems completely different every few months. They lack in customer service. Employees don’t make eye contact when you need something

  • Shelley Fridell

Really disappointed in lunch this afternoon. When you spend $32 on a meal for 2 people (soup and a half sandwich each) at a place like this, you expect better quality. The soup was lukewarm at best and the classic grilled cheese is not

  • Laura Yeager

Won't be going back anymore. Twice in 4 days a bad experience. 1st time, took 38min to get a small Mac and cheese with chips to go. Ended up getting stale bread instead of chips. 2nd time received cold mac n cheese and and a half of a

  • M Lee

I ordered a Tuna Salad Sandwich on line for pick up. I was extremely disappointed that they forgot to put the tuna salad in my sandwich. I was hungry and tired after a long work day. Yes the manager Jason did offer to make me another

  • keninsd100

We keep giving this place one more chance but I think I'm done. First, to go in for breakfast and the coffee canisters are empty 30% of the time. Then to wait on line while there are two other people (who I know are experience order

  • Ethan O'Neall

I come here quick often since I have the coffee subscription. The workers are all very friendly and nice. The coffee is not so great unfortunately.. i went to another Panera bread recently and their coffee tasted better.

It's one of my favorite places to meet friends for meals or just coffee. We enjoy the patio and inside booths. The food is consistently delicious and the staff are pleasant. More

  • Arnie Katz

Good for a snack or light meal. Soups are good. Sandwiches ok. Coffee is good. Service is friendly and fast. They keep it cold, so nice in the summer to cool off. More

  • Jonathan Tribble

In the service business, it is so easy to not suck. And yet you still do, Panera! I ordered curbside pick up, arrived at the exact pickup time, let them know I

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, fast service. A combination of healthier fast food and nice cafe, overall I enjoyed the experience very much More

  • Randy Edwards

The food isn’t bad, but this particular location has pretty much NEVER gotten our order right. Every time we finally go back, they screw up again.

  • Reza Ghofrani

We ordered whole steak sandwich, had to wait 10 minutes since they only prepared a half sandwich Quality was awful Don’t go to this location More

  • Belle

This Panera Bread is in a good location - quiet and laid back, plenty of parking space and close by offices, schools and communities.

  • Jimmy D

Coffee is always lukewarm and the dark roast is more like lite roast. 4s Ranch location has much better coffee! More

Ordered the Chicken green goddess melt. They didn't add the chicken. I paid $20 for bread, mozzarella and tomato.
