Reviews for Panera Bread in San Diego, CA
Perfect as usual, but utensils wasn?t really clean, have to get new
Panera Bread really has perfected the concept of fast-casual, with very high quality offerings-but perhaps more meaningful is... creating the relaxing ambiance. The restaurant decor is warm and inviting-and the carpeted floors absorb sound and further addto an upscale feel. Lots of dining space and the occasional sofa chairs with an end table? are thoughtful touches. Love youall at Panera, rock on! Read more
The place is well located next to Tesla Supercharger, quit, clean bathrooms, the sun doesn't hit on the seating area, with... outside seating with excellent shade. My order transporden didn't work so I was just seating there wating until my toasted bagelgot cold, the employee didn't seem he cared!! Read more
The food was good enough with plenty of options, but they fell short when it came to following through with their pickup... instructions for mobile app orders. I was supposed to pick up my order from the rapid pick up area, but I guess they were sobusy that they didn't have time to get our order to the p/u holding area... So we sat there for quite a while after our orderwas supposed to be ready while it was sitting on top of the kitchen's finished order counter, waiting for some employee to takeit to the proper pickup area. I finally got curious and went over to the kitchen counter and saw that my order had been sittingthere the whole time. Read more
If you don't get here by 9am they will be out of most of the bagels. That's any day of the week. Can't you make extra? For as... much as you charge it shouldn't be a big deal if you had to donate some leftovers at the end of the day. It would be nice tocome in around 11am and be still able to get the bagels I wanted Read more
I used to really love eating at Panera and I know their salads are still really good but I feel like the quality and quantity... has gone down a bit. My last couple of encounters have not been satisfactory. The coffee was old, the chicken in the saladtasted was processed, the soup tasted salty and from a can and the portions were small. This used to be a real fun to go toplace but I?d prefer to skip it unless I?m getting bakery goods. They are still awesome! Read more
I would like to give a shout out that staff were friendly and happy to be helpful, first. We used a self serve order placement... kiosk. It was weird at the end, after paying because we didn?t receive a receipt. There were the little reservation beeperthings that light up when your order is ready but none of them were offered or used for our order for some reason. We didn?t seeanyone else but one person using one of them. We had to ask if our order actually went through. It did. The wait was not long.The seating area was a little messy. Things had not been cleaned up. Don?t know if someone must?ve left right before we sat downbut it was a little unorganized. Not terrible. Not disgusting or too off putting. We had indicated on our order that we wouldlike utensils but they did not come in our bag and I had to go ask for some. They were quick to grab them. The food was great! Ihad a spicy chicken sandwich and my partner had something with avocado in it. We both enjoyed them. We are just very healthyeaters and found the bread to be excessive. Ordered a vanilla latte. We are not used to too much sweetness and use milkalternatives mostly. We added almond milk. We didn?t think to ask for less sweetness in our drink and were not pleased with howsweet it was but the caffeine was welcomed. I guess the majority of people prefer things to be on the sweeter side anyways soour more developed palettes would be set up to be sorely disappointed by the majority of most food options in mainstream foodservice businesses. We had a gift card for Panera that needed to be used. Probably wouldn?t have thought to eat anywhere withless than organic fair trade options and less sugar, salt, fat, calories, msg, food coloring? etc. however, if we had a giftcard and were in the area again I would return. I just wouldn?t spend my own money and go out of my way to eat therenecessarily. If it was a choice between some other options, we would highly consider this place again. Read more
Another delicious lunch that won't give me heartburn! Folks here are friendly and restaurant is reasonably clean. Busy location... but service was still quick. I'd come back if I'm in the area again. Read more
