Panera Bread has become a mixed bag among guests. While many appreciate the delicious food options, such as the renowned Chicken Frontega and assorted teas, experiences vary widely in service quality. Some patrons have encountered unforgiving wait times, unhelpful staff, or even order mistakes, particularly regarding dietary restrictions. However, others have praised the friendly and attentive team, highlighting moments of genuine care and support. The atmosphere is certainly appealing, with a vibrant community feel. Overall, this establishment has potential, but the inconsistency in service leaves some diners hesitant to return, calling for a balance between food quality and customer experience.

We always enjoy Panera Bread, this location is our favorite to visit in the area. Our favorite is the pick two, we order the broccoli cheddar soup and the chipotle chicken avocado melt. Also try their mango smoothie which is our favorite to order always. Overall good experience and friendly staff.

Fast casual dining at it 's healthiest? Out of all the restaurants in the area, Panera is the fastest 'healthy ' food you can get. I say 'healthy ' because you can get fun food there too. Not too much different from other Paneras, the staff is friendly and they try and keep the place clean. Very high traffic, especially during lunch rush though. -update- best order ahead if it 's during lunch rush, place gets a lot of people during this time.

Thank you for restoring some large cups again next to your order kiosks for your loyal customers. Please also restore your Orange tea bags. At one point, you had Orange tea bags available, now the whole jar has been missing.

The food was super yummy we tried a salad and burger before heading to camping in Angeles Forest both were yummy and flavorful. I tried the fountain drinks as well and I really like the mango and green tea both.
