Description

Panera Bread in Camarillo offers a mix of experiences, with some customers reveling in the quality of food and exceptional service, particularly praising the staff’s attentiveness and the flavorful tomato soup. However, a concerning number of patrons report issues such as uncleanliness, poor food quality, and unsatisfactory management responses.

The food was decent, but the restaurant was incredibly dirty. I will not be returning as there was trash scattered everywhere and the tables were filthy. I apologize, but I will not be coming back.

I went to this restaurant for an early dinner on Wednesday, September 21, 2022. The chicken soup was thin, watery, and overly salty with only a few small pieces of processed chicken. The grilled chicken avocado sandwich was decent and my Caesar salad was okay. However, the soda machine seemed to not have been cleaned recently as the water tasted moldy and unpleasant. The restaurant was also not very clean, with stained carpets that needed vacuuming and dirty windows and sills. In the bathroom, my wife found a dirty sink and filthy floors, describing it as gross. It seems like the restaurant may be facing financial trouble or lacking proper management, as there were several cleanliness issues that were not addressed. I suggest avoiding this Panera Bread based on my experience and the consistent complaints from other customers. The generic response from management was expected, but I am not interested in their offer as the overall sanitation of the restaurant needs improvement. It is disappointing that despite ongoing complaints, no meaningful changes have been made. It is important for the management to take concrete actions to address these concerns rather than just providing empty responses to negative reviews.

The restrooms were in terrible condition, even worse than those at most gas stations. Many of the tables and the carpet were also dirty. We visited on an early Sunday afternoon. The bread in my sandwich wasn't fresh either. I've been to numerous Panera locations nationwide and have always been pleased, but this specific location seems to be poorly managed.

I had a wonderful experience having breakfast at this place a couple of weeks ago. The staff was friendly and professional, and the food was fresh and delicious. I will definitely return when I'm in the area!

I have to say, this restaurant is truly disappointing. The carpet looks like it's from the 90s and hasn't seen any updates since then. The furniture is just as worn and outdated. I ordered a turkey BLT sandwich with avocado, but the turkey appeared as if it had been chewed and then spat back onto the sandwich—it was incredibly unappetizing. The tomatoes were soggy and seemed old. I definitely can't recommend anyone visit this Panera. I think the health department should really take a look at this place and their food. On top of that, every drink from the soda machine had a terrible taste, which seems to be a problem at all the restaurants in Camarillo.
