Panera Bread

Haven’t been here for a while! My favorite is the Mac and cheese sandwich! The chicken soup was a bit saltier than before but still good! You can pick if you’d like bread or chips in the meal as well! Their tomato soup is a bit too thick and sweet for me but it’s just my preference. The portions are pretty good. Parking won’t be a problem since it is in a plaza!

Not friendly staff -and didn't bring my order out to my vehicle as I requested online. I got notice it was ready and I tried to call [as I am disabled] and they would never answer their phone. I could see two employees at the front ordering counter -and no customers, so I'm not sure why they couldn't answer the phone. So I had to painfully go inside to retrieve my order that I had already paid for and was snubbed by them again....finally asked for a manager and he was very polite and offered to take my bag out to my truck for me, but I already was there inside. I usually have excellent service from all Panera Bread restaurants

This particular location has all of it's windows face north or east creating a slightly darker atmosphere compared to the Alhambra location. It's an older shop showing some age on the carpet. Standard food service. Somehow I end up here often in the afternoon and the catch here is power receptacles. School kids hog all the tables with one and camp out most of the afternoon "studying" YouTube's and the like. But that takes one to know one... 6 tables have access to power and the two chairs got one off the floor. Outdoor seating is nice on the north side. But it's LA suburbs close to the freeway so heavy dust is inevitable. Discovered this "value duet" on the menu, it's pretty good value indeed. I tried the chicken noodle soup and Caesar salad. It was good. Well managed amount of dressing. Soup is salty as expected but that is perfect with the chunk of bread. Verizon 4G is just 1 bar here so you might have to go with the shop wifi here. No 5G. I was hungry so I ate the stuff.. no pix. Sorry. Parkings are narrow. Consider taking a few steps and park a bit further.

I saw lots of negative reviews here so I decided to give this Panera Bread 5 stars regarding my several visits here. I’m a continued customer at this Panera Bread because it’s convenient for me. Today, I stopped by with my 2 dogs during the lunch time and the staffs there were super busy apparently. I asked the lady to have water for my dogs while I was getting my pick-up because I just brought them to the dog park and the weather is pretty hot today. She didn’t hesitate to do it and gave me a bowl immediately to allow me have ice water from the fountain machine. No chance to have her name but I said “Really appreciate it!” when I left. Overall, I’ll keep backing to this Panera Bread and thanks all the staffs there!

This location is very nice and clean. The food is pretty good. The parking space can be limited during busy hours. Staffs are friendly but often short on cashier, as a result, the wait can be long sometime. There are self serving stations but no one like to use them. The drinks are self serving and they have a good selection of it including various tea and soda. This place also have free wifi and it makes a great place to relax, study or even casual dining.

These days we all need to be very careful how we shop. With this unusual inflation and the deliveries in the supply chain off due to covid we need to go 3 to 5 different stores planning out our weekly shopping to basically focus on the Lost leader items that are at the best possible prices in this terrible inflationary. Of time. This is the only way to stay ahead of inflation and to buy quality food and it sprouts they have bulk spices with your very reasonably priced and their meat is superb their vegetables and fruit are also superb and when they are on sale they are on sale this is not the place I would go to buy milk or other Dairy eggs or Delicatessen because the quality may be high but so were the prices unless you see something on sale that you like and feel you will use but overall Sprouts is a wonderful place to shop and you will enjoy yourself there and the people give great customer service.
