Panera Bread - Alameda

A spacious indoor interior, outdoor seating, close proximity to TJ's, Kohl's, Safeway, several banks, Walgreens, and a bunch of other establishments makes this the perfect place to refuel while getting your day taken care of. My favorite thing there is thefrontega chicken sandwich. The bakery is always fresh and the staff is generally kind and always works hard.

Ordered Broccoli Cheddar Soup on 9/23 tasted something extremely squishy. Found a bunch of this in my soup, no idea what it is

When I asked specifically if the sip club included an ice coffee with syrup, which I couldn 't find I the self serve kiosk, she just pointed at the menu and said, all our drinks are right there . Umm okay, back to the self service kiosk I went. Usingthis men 's urinal was a most unpleasant experience. It is caked with yellow calcified urine all dried around the inside of theurinal, which means no one has used any cleaning products, no brushes, nothing for many weeks or months, maybe even years. Thestench just standing in front of it was overwhelming. Also, I added special instructions asking for my muffin warm. It wasserved cold. I didn 't waste my time asking them to heat it up, only to be told, we don 't do that again. It 's a bakery, and yetthey can 't figure out how to warm up a simple muffin. I can 't.

Among the Panera Breads I?ve seen this one may be slightly below average. A little dark inside (not very many spaces outside), slightly cluttered, service was friendly, but not overly so, food was as expected with the chicken salad sandwich heavy onthe bread and not so much on the salad (and it?s called Panera Bread for a reason and not Panera Salad). The flat bread pizzawas actually pretty good. Overall an OK experience.

Once I had dinner in Panera Bread, the food is really fresh and delicious. They also have bakery inside, you can choose different varieties of bread, pastries and pies. My family and I love Panera bread.
