This Panera Bread location is always timely with orders. Whether you're picking up from the fast pick-up or dining in. They are quick to get orders out but don't rush you. You know that, wham bam thank you ma'am and you're out of here lol I'm always happy to stop by here. Kayleigh helped me out with my order today. I had a to go order and she was so friendly as attentive. People like her are the reason I come back :) Customer service is all in the attitude and effort and she has it! Thank you! :) read more

I was so thrilled to find that an actual Panera would be coming to Cerritos! No need to drive all the way to La Habra for their smokey delicious paninis and savory soups anymore! I love love LOVE the sandwiches here. It's something about the combination of sauces that they put into the sandwiches that make them so drug-addicting good. A bit pricey for something as simple as soup and salad, but I would definitely cough up 10 bucks for one of their sandwiches. read more

Mmmm PANERA BREAD!! I have been to Panera several times and have never been disappointed. I visited the Cerritos location for the first time today. I had the BBQ chopped chicken salad and the Sierra Turkey with added tomatoes. EXCELLENT! The smoked turkey breast is thinly sliced and great. They are pretty generous with their portions. I really like the lettuce they use as well; it isn't the standard slab of lettuce leaf that is usually given, but rather the leafy lettuce that is usually eaten with salads. The Chipotle mayonnaise isn't overwhelming and goes perfectly with the Asiago Cheese Bread! This is also an excellent choice for breakfast! I use to frequent the Irvine location...those were the days! The Cinnamon Swirl bagel, the breakfast sandwiches and the soufflés are my favorite breakfast items. You can't go wrong at Panera Bread!! P.S. The Chocolate Chip Muffies are a must try! read more

I've loved me some Panera since 1999 when they first popped up on the scene. I fell in love with their french onion soup and have held every version of french onion soup to theirs even since. They have good sandwiches and their sourdough is amazing. But, my go to is that soup and it MUST be in a bread bowl. Yes, MUST. This is the closest Panera to my house and I happened to be in the area last night so I stopped by for some of my beloved soup (plus I had a gift card that was begging to be used and abused HA!). The location is prime - directly across from the mall and super easy to find. Parking can get tricky as the lot is shared with a ton of other eateries, including Lucille's (blech). But, they do have short-term parking, which is ideal if you're just running into get a beverage or a to-go order. The service was excellent - I was greeted promptly and the lady was friendly and very professional. The restaurant itself is super clean. You can tell that management & the staff pride themselves on this because there is a staff member on the floor at all times making sure the dining area is clean and well-kept. THEY HAVE FREE WI-FI! WOOT! I always give props for free wi-fi. That's an excellent perk and trust me, people come out of the woodwork for free wi-fi. My soup was everything that I remembered and more. That bread bowl of french onion heaven was no match for me - may it rest in peace. Overall, solid 4 stars. I would definitely come back and plan on doing so in the very near future! read more

The staff is friendly and service was pretty fast. My complaints are with the food. I spent $13.76 on a pick 2 combo and it was barely any good. Sandwich was super dry, bread was hard, soup barely warm. For a $14 meal for lunch, I would expect more. Not sure if I would return for lunch here. read more

Let me tell you about this store at this location. Clean store, service is the best along with all of their friendly staff and their shift supervisor Brenda, always greets you with a smile and is very attentive. I always come down here for their salads & soups. Without a doubt the best Panera bread restaurant I have ever visited. Keep up the good work Cerritos read more

Love Love Love Panera Bread!! you just cant go wrong with this place. Customer Service at this location is pretty good too. Enjoy!! read more

Panera's food is good, not great. The service here on the other hand sucks. I would give it 4 stars but the service sucked so bad. My husband ordered a turkey avocado sandwich and there was no turkey inside. So he returned it and they put the turkey in, and there was no more avocado inside.... uhhh ok. Everyone else was eating so he just ate it without returning it again bc he was afraid something else would be missing. Good little place to go for lunch, and the pastries are decent. read more

Favorite place for a bowl of broccoli cheddar with a hunk of bread to scoop up the soup with and it comes out like an amazing spread for the bread. I love the basic french baguette here when its super fresh cuz its so soft and plain that whatever you put on it, its extra yum. add butter equals yum. add broccoli cheddar equals yum. Getting a small hunk of bread equals sad face cuz i am forced to decide whether to slather heart clogging butter on it or scooping up my precious broccoli cheddar (that i suspect is made from reconstituted powder) onto it. Love the roomy seating both inside and out. Outside seating is like a backyard patio minus a stone firepit. Inside seating is like...Border's cafe with plenty of seats. read more

Chicken Noodle Soup was very tasty. Turkey and Avocado sandwich was good but wish I would of known that there was mayonnaise on the sandwich. Maybe have that as an option or put it on the side. My wife got the fuji apple salad and enjoyed every bite of it. Nice and fresh, just the right amount of blue cheese. She loves salads and enjoyed this one. My daughter got a flatbread and salad and enjoyed both of them very much. This was a great lunch for our family!!!! read more

I ordered the chicken frontega. They said they ran out of bread for it so I settled with the recommended substitute. What they DIDN'T f"cking tell me though was that they also ran out of the smoked chicken so they gave me turkey instead. I HATE TURKEY WITH A PASSION! What kind of no taste bud having mfkr thought you could substitute one for the other?! They taste COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!! I didn't notice it was turkey until I got home. Now they're closed and I can't go back. F*ck you guys! Seriously! read more

How do I start? This is horrible. The soup had no flavor i'd rather lick the floor I would of been more delighted to. Not only that, my bread was harder than my boyfriend ever gets. The portion size is horrible they act like it will feed a family of 7 but it could literally feed a whole infant. Oh and don't get me started on the horrible customer service. I asked for butter and she gave me two and i asked for a bit more and she said really? like yes really i need more butter for my rock hard bread. There was a couple of nice men so shout out the guy cleaning and giving me drinks. Like I said in my other review about a year later, there was more food on the floor than on my plate. To the women who thought two butter was good I hope your pillow is warm. Thanks Ig read more

This Panera is always packed when I come! But maybe that's because I only come for lunch.. They offer online ordering, so I recommend ordering online before you come so you can skip the line when you get here and immediately sit down and get your order! So far I've ordered the Power Chicken Mediterranean Salad and the Power Chicken Hummus Bowl (both off the secret menu). I actually got both without chicken because I don't eat meat too often. Both were really good and fresh. Nice flavors and really light. Panera's the perfect place to grab a quick lunch or if you're looking for a healthy meal! read more

The best way I can describe this place is it's the food version of Starbucks. You will see many people there who linger there nursing their drinks while on their laptops, phone, or reading their books. Not many people are there for the food but who really want to be seen like they are working on deals. The food here is ok, just more gourmet but in a fast food environment. Not really the place to come if you want a big or filling breakfast you gotta go somewhere else. read more

I first visted panera with a fried to study. I fell in love with the food and this became my new studying place. This particular location in Cerritos is somewhat new to me because la mirada is my go to. This location only has 1 power outlet. There are so many people studying and everyone racing to that one table with the outlet. *Where I really draw the line is as I was studying i look up to see a roach crawling up the wall And not a water bug l. An apt roach! I cant, I dont do bugs period! I told one of the girls up front and it didnt seem to be a big deal..... I just cant with this place!* read more

Today's agenda: Checked in Small line up Ordered my bagel n tea Sat down. Was brought my order quickly. Received burnt bagel...check....wait what??? Yeah its singed on the edges. Perhaps toaster is a little too high. But can't be too picky I guess. I'm on leisure time. Otherwise, I would've let loose. Addendum: It was 4 stars, now 2. I am currently a regular but I may reevaluate today (Tuesday 11/10/15). I have a free tea and was charged. Instead of fixing it, the gal just waved it off and said I can fix it on the Panera website. Not good, Panera. If it's not my error, patrons should be accommodated right?? read more

Made an online order and was sent the wrong one. Called in to talk to the store and they gave me a different number to call that had me on the phone for an hour with no help. Finally called customer service and they cancelled my order after trying numerous amount of time to get a hold of the store. Won't be ordering anything from here any time soon. Worse service in this time is unacceptable read more

I love Panera but for some reason on this location they always have problems with my order, today was not exception. I ordered the sandwich plain & the bread toasted. The bread was cold & it had lettuce. No big deal, but they should follow the specifications. Like I said, not the first time. I also have a suggestion. They've plenty of outdoor seating but only one trash can in the whole area & it's all the way to the back, nothing at the front where there are plenty of tables. I'm a handicapped person & had to walk all the way to the back to throw away my trash. I hope they read this & will place a trash can in the front. read more

I love Panera in general and this place doesn't disappoint. My top favourite thing is the Creamy Tomato soup in a bread bowl. The only downside is that they do not serve the tomato soup in summer months: bummer. The paninis are good, the smoothies are good. Fresh bread is always a huge plus. This company does sourdough justice (and coming from nor-cal, I take my sourdough pretty seriously). Last? Def try the souffles if you don't mind a high-calorie munch (500-ish for the portion). I got the spinach and artichoke and let me tell you: GREAT. PS: Get yourself a free Panera card. You get free treats almost every other visit. Free pastry, $1 beverages, etc. read more

I love the food at Panera Bread. However I wouldn't recommend online rapid pick up. I ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches on Sunday and BOTH of the sandwiches were made incorrectly. It was the bacon, cheese, egg sandwich on ciabatta. I added avocado to one and red onion to the other. Why bother allowing customization if they just make the same sandwich across the board? They both had avocado and onion and neither had bacon. Boo. I thought for sure the bacon would be in it because... welll.... that part WASN'T a customization. It was a rapid pick up so I got allll the way home before checking. Once it was clear the sandwiches were incorrect, I saw on the receipt that "accuracy" is important and that if it's not accurate to call and they'll make it right and give you a free treat! So I called and to their credit they offered to remake the sandwiches but I was already home and didn't feel like going back. So the lady I spoke with said that she would write my name down and I could get it later in the week. So fast forward 4 days... I decided to grab breakfast for myself and my family. So I went to Panera and gave them the receipt of my order that had been made incorrectly and the cashier put the order in again. The ladies there weren't too terribly friendly, but hey it's no skin off my back. I also ordered a couple more things. Due to my previous experience, I checked the bag BEFORE I left the store and lo and behold... the order was wrong AGAIN! At this point it's actually kinda funny. Instead of ciabatta bread they put it on like brioche or something. When I mentioned it they totally threw the cashier under the bus and said it was entered incorrectly and said they would remake it...and by "remake" they meant just taking the incorrect sandwiches and opening them, scooping out the inside and plopping it on different bread. I watched as they did and I noticed that there was no bacon in it AGAIN!!! When I politely asked if they had put bacon in it they said of course, and AS I WATCHED she took out a few slices of bacon and heat it up to place in the sandwich. So that would mean if I went home with the sandwiches they made originally it would NOT have had bacon. Finally with my correct breakfast items in tow... I walked out of there with remade sandwiches and no "free treat" ( It was on the receipt but they never offered and I never asked). Long story short, I still love Panera Bread but the moral of this story is to check your food before you leave the store.. you never know what you're gonna get! read more

After months of coming here every week, we have never experienced such an atrocious breakfast. We ordered one of the egg breakfasts and they forgot the egg. When we told them, they took the sandwich back, put a precooked egg on it, and gave it back. Next, we also had a steak and egg, and they once again forgot the egg. We told them about it and they took it back asking what kind of egg we wanted. We said over easy and they gave us another precooked egg. It wasn't even over easy. It was rubber on top. The yolk was completely cooked through and the top was as tough as rubber. The cream cheese they gave us tasted expired by the way. Yeah, they trash now bro don't come here anymore. read more

The day after I tell my wife we should do our orders here because it faster to get to and back i get the worst service EVER. We both on the Panera coffee subscription, I ordered my drink indeed curbside pickup got to the store and clicked the "I'm Here" button on the app. 3mins later I get notified when my order is ready and on its way. 20mins later no one came out with my order, tired to call the store and no luck. Now I usually do in Cafe pick up but because I had my kids in the car I did curbside pick up instead. Well I went into the store really quick and no one could take a single minute to help me. If you guessed it I did not receive my order. Doesn't look like I'll coming back to this location ever again. read more

My friend and I came here on a Friday night for dinner. Both of us order the bacon turkey bravo sandwich with a side of broccoli cheddar soup which came up to $10.79. As soon as we received our order, my impression was: "Why is the portion small?!?" "Why is the bread not toasted?" "Why is my apple not cut?" The sandwich tasted mediocre. The soup was the only thing I liked but the portion they gave was small for a child. If I'm paying $10.79, I should be getting a lot more than what I got. This is basically elementary cafeteria food. Even hospital cafeteria food gives better portions. This was a huge disappointment. I am never coming back here or any other Panera restaurant. Just a waste of money! My advice: Corner Bakery is 100 times wayyy better. Food is so much delicious and the portion you get is worth your money. read more

love Panera but this location was like what?! So first I used the kiosk wouldn't take my order so I had to go to the cashier which was okay. I ordered and apparently they were out of avocado so I just ordered another sandwich that didnt come with avocado. I sat down and once they brought my drink they said that they didnt have steak so I had to make a replacement. Then I end up getting my sandwich and the chicken was super thinly sliced and the bacon was like the size of my pinky. Each bite was honestly pure bread. Pico Rivera and Downey locations are way better read more

Worst customer service I came here and got food to go , when I got home opened the bagged and seen that the order was wrong so I came back and told her the order was wrong and gave her the food back all she did was okay and told a cook can you get a small Mac and cheese and that all and told me to wait like no apology or nothing read more

This was my go-to for awhile and I am super disappointed that my sandwich is messed up twice. How do you mess up a PLAIN sandwich. Chicken Frontega with chicken, basil, cheese and lettuce ONLY. Cashier got it right but kitchen messed it up two days in a row. WTH is going on with the staff. Then I order a cookie and the bottom of it looks like someone was picking at it. Didn't know you sold hollow cookies. For $3/cookie, it needs to be a presentable looking cookie. Not sure if it's worth driving from one side of Cerritos to that side of Cerritos for a messed up sandwich AND a hollow cookie. Super disappointed. read more

I go to this Panera all the time and I feel that while the staff is friendly they dont work as fast and efficiently as they should. It always takes me a long time to get my bagel toasted. Today it took me over 15 min. for a bagel and a latte. the Latte is only filled up just over half way in the cup. I pay $4 for this and it's not even filled up all the way! I love the quality of the bread, but I just get tired of waiting and being dissapointed. read more

I love this place! It's a nice quiet environment kinda like a library lol no loud, rude people everyone is there to enjoy the food and the company they are with. I went and enjoyed lunch with my family on a Sunday afternoon .. They have outside seating and a cool order your self station for you complicated picky eaters such as myself! :) the employees are really nice people and seem to pick up the mess fast once people leave. $$ I would have to say this is a lil on the pricey side, but the food is great and not over filling and they offer any treat for .99 with each order, yum. Try the Pick 2, and join the rewards they send great deals like $5.00 pick up orders! Oh and I have to say I had the bagels as well and have picked up bread and made my own Panini at home, gotta tell you it was on hit! We will be back read more

Got the half salad and half soup! Salad was very fresh and filling. It is really hard to find parking around this Panera because of all the other restaurants!

Thank you so much Sonya for a pleasant experience! read more

This place is terrible. They messed up my order and gave me something else which i had to drive for 20 minutes back and forth to get it. After telling them they messed up they didn't even care much at all and apologized at all instead they kept on asking stupid questions when we already told them. They do not value customers at all. We had to wait 15 min more for them to give us our correct order. I got creamy tomato soup btw and while i was eating at the end i found CHICKEN there, like WTHHHH that was soo nasty and grossss. I will never go here or recommend others going either. They need to learn how to apologize when it's their mistake and make food worse properly. These kind of mistakes are unacceptable!!!!! read more
