    We ordered online and waited for pickup but our order came out quickly and staff was nice. Nice vibe inside to get some work done or study. Food is standard for Panera.

    Brownie
    Sydney J.

    I decided to get a brownie, which was really good, very rich, chocolatey, decadent. Only downside was it was a bit pricey for the size, prices have definitely gone up over the years. They have a new item of brownie cheesecake bites. I'm not sure if it's just me or if it seems the menu has changed or maybe gotten smaller compared to a decade or two ago when I was younger. Staff were friendly and efficient. I recommend signing up for their rewards online so you can get a free bakery item (maximum value $5, and there are some restrictions on what you can redeem it for) for your birthday. They have a customer parking lot. What I like about this particular Panera location is that they have lots of outdoor tables with umbrellas, and they actually play some music outside too, but it's not too loud. It seems like a nice location if you want to work outdoors but still have shade, so it's a little more COVID conscious if you want to still be able to eat/drink but work at a cafe.

    This is an immaculate spot , kept super clean and tidy with the usual offerings from Panera. The staff is super courtois and hard working. I don't live their food hence four star.

    Pick 2
    Ronald N.

    Panera Bread in the Willow is better. The inside was recently remodel with better tables and seats. I love how this location has a screen informing you when your order is done. The service at Panera Bread is great. They will ask you if you got your cup with your order. That is going out of the way to make sure your order is accurate. The food at Panera Bread are good. I will say The Pick 2 are good. I crave for Mac & Cheese with a Ceasar Salad or Broccoli Cheddar with Greek Salad. Keep up the good work Panera Bread

    Toasted Frontega Chicken
    Darlene M.

    I don't expect anything over the top from chain restaurants, so this place met my expectations. Haha! Two other customers and I waited a good 5 minutes for someone to come out and take our orders. Not sure if they were short staffed or what but I thought it was odd that no one was in the front when we arrived. Food was decent, but in my opinion expensive. I ordered a whole Toasted Frontega Chicken Sandwhich and an orange juice, and it came up to almost $20 - really? Seems like a lot for a just a decent sandwich. Otherwise, my dining experience was decent - nothing over the top for me.

    Bagel w/Reduced Fat Honey Walnut Cream Cheese
    Catarino C.

    Stopped at this Panera while in town for a training conference and was tight on time. My stomach was in need of something to eat and this place delivered with very fast service, to prevent me from becoming hangry. Lol. I had never had honey walnut cream cheese before but decided to try and glad I did. Place was kept clean and there is lots of parking out front as it is shared with lots of businesses as well. It was pretty empty on a weekday morning. I'd come here again.

    I ordered the chicken chipotle sandwich. The bread was very hard and the avocado they put inside was disgusting. I tried to get a refund over the phone and said they couldn't do it. I had proof of the disgusting sandwich that I could text or email to them. Since I realized the state of the sandwich when I was already very far from Panera I couldn't go back the same day. I went the next day and they denied the refund to my card.

    Since the Panera in my city closed, I have to venture to the Hayward location to get food from Panera. I had a free pastry dropped into my account that I had to redeem. Since I was in the Concord area, I went to the store at Willows Shopping Center. This location is large with table and booth seats as well as seating outside. It was 2:00pm and the pastries on display were limited. I decided to get a blueberry muffin. Overall, it's a nice Panera in Concord.

    A quick and healthy meal on a rainy day. Staff is very attentive and the food is served fast and fresh. My aunts favorite spot for her soup and salad.

    Chipotle avocado melt
    Shelli H.

    My daughter in law and I door dashed Panera today. She ordered the chicken rice soup and Mac and cheese. She loved it but it is her regular order and she was craving it. I had the chipotle chicken melt. I wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it. I think they were skimpy with meat but the bread was tasty. The reason for 3 stars? It was pretty darn pricey. ( I know it's door dash, but still.) Those 2 little cups were over 15 dollars! I mean maybe the cups could be just a wee bigger for that much money. It just doesn't seem like a good value to me at all. Maybe it's just not my thing.

    Half Green Goddess Chicken Cobb Salad
    Liann A.

    Panera is always a solid spot for salads, sandwiches, coffee, and pastries. There's plenty of seating outside and inside along with wifi to work or study. This Panera has been here for years and my younger years we used to study and order their treats, coffee, and use their wifi. I personally enjoy their combo meals of a half salad and half sandwich. I had a hair appointment next door and was starving, it was a Saturday and they were pretty backed up but it was fine. I ordered a half green goddess salad along with a half grilled chicken avocado BLT. It comes with a side and I opted for a bag of potato chips. The workers are working very hard despite how busy it was. It didn't seem like the wait was too long. It's located in a busy plaza so there's parking all around.

    Their agave lemonade is refreshing during the warmer days. The Madagascar vanilla latte (hot) is not bad.

    First time trying this location! So glad they have it in Concord! Located in a shopping mall, close…read moreto other restaurants, lots of parking. Can be busy since it is near Ranch Market 99, but we didn't have a wait. The food was amazing, and we had to get the Daeho Kalbijjim with the added cheese topping that they use a torch at your table to melt the cheese! We ordered the Japchae and the Seafood Pancake, it comes with a sauce, so delicious! The Banchan (sides) were also delicious, loved that each tasted different, sometimes you can't tell each side dish flavor but here you do. We went to a location in the South Bay, so we were so excited that there was a Concord location! If you want good comfort Korean food, eat here!! We will be back!

    Ok so the first time I went here with my best friend we were starving so no pics. After the meal I…read moreregretted not taking pics because OMG the Kalbijjim was insanely delicious. So fast forward months later I took my cousin from Ohio here to eat korean food for the first time and the Kalbijjim was just as perfect as the first time. So that consistency of incredible flavor definitely deserves 5 stars. Now as for the place itself it is clean with enough space between tables and the lighting is perfect. Not dimly lit but not supermarket bright. Our waitress was really nice and did frequently come back to check on us. Overall this place is worth everyone visiting at least once. Now I will admit I have only tried the incredible Kalbijjim with short rib and oxtail but this dish alone is worth every dollar. Please add the cheese so they can roast it in front of you and you get the whole ambiance of the moment. I promise you won't be dissapointed.

    Was looking for a good hot pot place, and was in the Concord area…read more So I'll start with what I didn't love, but I did think it was a great gimmick for the area. The music was way too loud, almost like a night club - where you have to practically raise your voice to talk. It's great for guys, where their voice projects, but it's more difficult for anyone that has a bit higher. There are no tongs (but they will give you extra chopsticks). Also, the individual induction units are right on the table, instead of inset. This causes the potential of hot soup base spilling as a more likely experience for clumsy people. For the thing I love about this place? First... value for money. $29.99 per person for all-you-can-eat hotpot? This is amazing in this age where an entree is like $25-30. Appetizers are ordered 2 at a time, and meats are 6 at a time. Meats only come one on a thin tray, which holds about 4-6 slices. So you'll be ordering other helpings, since there are I believe 5 beef selections, and a pork and chicken selection (7) total. The middle of the restaurant is a large bar where you get everything that isn't a meat. The selection of vegetables, and noodles are pretty vast, and almost always refilled. The seafood area has shrimp, clams, tilapia, and mussels. Sauces area also on the sides which makes it pretty much an on-going motion. It's not the high-end of hot pot by any means, but the ambience that they're projecting works for the area that it's in and how they compete with the rest of the restaurants in the area. But for the money? I'd go here. We did sit in a side-middle area where it wasn't a booth. However, they made sure to separate out the seating so that if you were a group of 3, they situated in opposite ends to create space. That attentiveness of spacing actually created a better atmosphere which was a small thing, but a smart thing. Love that they actually celebrate birthdays with banging of pots, and wishing well. It's something that is fun for groups and definitely nice if you happen to be celebrating a birthday! Definitely will come back.

    We were in the area and remembered that this place had really good hotpot meat, so we decided to…read morecome back again! When we arrived, only bar seating was available, but we took it anyway because we were hungry and wanted to eat. They offer an extensive selection of food, and the quality is solid overall. The bartender was our server, and he's super attentive, frequently clearing empty plates and checking in to see if we wanted to order more. Highly recommended!
