First of all, the staff is very friendly and helpful. However, my mobile order is always missing items and never ready when I arrive for pick up. I once received a rotting Apple - photo attached. The manager emailed me and offered to comp my lunch. I haven't taken her up on the offer yet due to lack of time. I did place another pickup order last night, wasn't ready when I arrived even tho I gave them 30 mins before I picked it up and received a text that it was ready for pickup. The French onion soup was missing the cheese on top lol and the baguette that comes with it. The food is good when it's not missing any items and is correct. I hope they improve or I will have to take my business elsewhere. read more

Panera Bread - Rotting Apple, did the worker even look before putting it in the bag?! - Sandwiches Near Me - Fairfield, California

I love Panera! I've been to this location several times. The food is delicious and the staff are helpful & friendly.

Since this was my 1st Panera Bread visit, this review will be a little on the fairer side. The building looked clean when I entered while the cashier was polite. The staff present Saturday evening 7/20/24 were polite. While waiting for the food, I noticed that the music playing was a little loud as it drowned out the voice of the employee calling out the names for orders from the pick up window; which included mine. The time between placing the food order and receiving the order was long, but it appeared they were short staffed for a Saturday evening. When I picked up the order for my group, there were two things immediately wrong. First was the soup spoon given to us was dirty and second was only receiving half of my sandwich. Both issues were immediately resolved with no hassle. To the staff present that night, you all did the best you could and thank you. read more

This might be the worst Panera bread I've ever been to. I've tried on multiple occasions to give them a chance and each time I'm disappointed. Every single time I order online something is missing in my order. They forget the bread, they forget the chips, and/or they forget the drink. Even though everything I order shows on the receipt they still forget. I've had to wait on multiple occasions for my correct order. The point of ordering ahead of time is so u don't have to wait. I don't understand it. Is this place under new management? Today I ordered a sandwich that was completely soggy and disgusting so much do that I had to throw it away. How do you make a soggy sandwich? I just don't get it. Everyone here seems rushed and inattentive. I'll go to the Vacaville location in the future since I've never had issues there. The Fairfield location is horrible. read more

I'm enjoy Panera salads, my favorite is the strawberry poppyseed! I had a taste for my favorite salad! Go in 2 patrons ahead of me and 1 gentleman behind me! The gentleman ahead of me finished and paid his order, mine turn so I thought! A female patron came from out of the dinning area, on her way out, spoke with a female managers (who I see all the times I go in) who just happen to come from the back kitchen area! She helped this elderly female patron before me! I stood in line, at least ten minutes, if she had acknowledged me, or said I'll be right with you....NOTHING! The young man that was taking orders prior to this manager, stood there, out of her way! He saw the look on my face...drop! I thought it was absolutely "RUDE" and poor customer service! There is always Vallejo & Vacaville...it will be awhile before I go Fairfield again! read more

Ordered a bagle bag and special instruction was ignored. After the email received order ready, still waited 15 min to get it. Didn't have the coffee made at all. Decaf and hazelnut. My order was specifically instructed to cut and toast but was given to me a bag. I asked the manager in orange shirt and she said no we don't toast them for togo order even if asked. Not my friendly panera store specially for being the monthly member. This place need new set of respectful staff that can follow instruction and don't make up story for customer when they are short staff. They have paper sign all over the counter and door that short staff and your order will be delay. Their know customer walks in and get greeted by first name "Frank" and once paid, his sandwich and drink is handed over to him in minutes. read more

I'm happy to say I've had a few pleasant day visits now. Been here a few times in the morning and the service has improved. Still have some waiting time but they now have good customer service which was the key. Today I went in for a breakfast sandwich and a chai tea. They had one person ringing up, he was extremely polite and what impressed me the most was when he went to cut a loaf of bread he washed his hands and put the gloves on. Then he took my order and I order a loaf of bread too and he had grabbed some gloves then he realized he had to get my money for payment threw the then contaminated gloves, washed his hands and repeated what he had done earlier. My chai came out quick The lady prepping my sandwich told me they had to make fresh bread and that I could have a pastry for the long wait. Simple and happy customer ... glad I was able to bump up the rating read more

Panera Bread - Pink ribbon bangle - Sandwiches Near Me - Fairfield, California

I placed an order through the app for a bakers dozen bagels. I only received 11 bagels. I tried calling and no one answers the phone.

Don't go here...rude asst manager. Obviously hates her job and customers. Could not accommodate my sipper club request, ignored my inquiry, and was reported to regional manager via Sally at corporate 855-372-6372. She needs a review of policy and procedures in customer service...account closed... and no longer will Fairfield Panera get my business read more

I love Panera, everything is always delicious. But I also want to give a shout out to Nadia, she's amazing! Talk about the best vibes and welcoming spirit in the morning! Interacting with Nadia made my morning a while back and I promised a review and then work took over and I almost forgot. But I had another bright and beautiful welcome back today and couldn't forget again. Thanks Nadia and team!! read more

Mm mmm mmmm! Compliments to Panera for the delicious 1/2 tuna sandwich with the side of veggie sprouted grain soup and baguette . I did not go inside I used their curb side option when I ordered online. They do offer pick up inside. As I thought I would save myself sometime by doing so. BUT the shopping center in which they are located is a MADhouse to toggle through during lunch hour lol. I had to drive around the parking lot until my order was brought out, as I did not notice any designated parking spots for curbside. I honked to get the nice young lady's attention. She handed my my order and I apologized for not being able to be in closer proximity. She understood. On a food rating I was pretty satisfied. Food was also packaged properly for a to go order standard. Thanks Panera for having such yummy options. Okay pricing. Drink was not included read more

Not quite sure what's been going on w/ Panera lately but I've visited a few different establishments of the chain this year & I have to say my experience w/ them has been sub par. Definitely not the Panera I remember loving, which is unfortunate because it was always a go to for lunch. I will say that if I had to pick a location that does better it would be the Pittsburg location near target. read more

Saturday March 16 at around 7:40. Went inside to sign in for a large coffee. Also asked the store employee for the bathroom code. She said, are you going to buy anything? Technically I've already bought the drink membership to sign in, so I said no. But I needed to go, so I told her I was there for the large coffee. She then proceeded to water down regular coffee with hot water, calling it Americano--lamest excuse for this. Then finally gave me the code. Panera, I want my money back. read more

Sadly, in the past few years this place has gone down hill. Meals are delicious but have taken 30 mintues before. Staff usually mistake orders here and I have been over-charged for meals I didn't order. The issue is they're under staffed. read more

If I could have given no stars, I would have. Do not eat at this establishment. The food is disgusting. The service is terrible. Our order was wrong and once home tried to call to get it resolved. Staff put us on hold and wouldn't come back to the phone. Called multiple times then asked for a manager and once again, refused to come to the phone. I can't believe this place stays in business with this type of service and food quality. In the process of seeking the district managers contact information and will call them. read more

I used to go to this location quiet often for their sandwich, salads, and soup. I always enjoyed their food. So, I decided to go back and ordered a salad to go. It was supposed the Green Goddess Salad which includes some of the ingredients: bacon, avocado, chicken, and onions. However, they were hard to "find" in my salad and all I got was lettuce. I wish, I had checked the salad at the pick up window. The bread was old, hard, and was missing the dough in the inside. I asked the associate at the window "is this all the bread I'm getting" and showed it to her. She replied with "yes." I used to always order this salad but this was my last time due to that the price is not matching the worth. I wish, the staff will be re-trained on presentation of their product and ensuring that the bread is not stale. Lesson learned for not checking at the pick up window. Very disappointed... read more

Panera Bread - My grilled cheese sandwich stuck to the paper it was wrapped in. Disappointed. - Sandwiches Near Me - Fairfield, California

The manager, Showanda, was super patient, kind and helpful! There was an issue with my gift card and she resolved it immediately.

Panera Bread - Take 2- flatbread pizza, spicy chicken sandwich, Napa half chicken sandwich and broccoli cheddar soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Fairfield, California

Ordered a whole Fuji apple salad Togo and the bowl was so unsatisfying. 10+ dollars for a salad and there was barely any greens. This looked more like a half order than whole order. There were more apple chips in it than salad and only 2 small pieces of chicken. And while we were there. We had to ask the kitchen staff, where our salad was, and she said the order was cancelled. Holding the receipt in my hand, I showed her that we had paid for the salad and was standing there waiting for 20+ mins. read more

Panera Bread - Mostly chips in this salad. Barely any green. - Sandwiches Near Me - Fairfield, California

This Panera has gone downhill in the last 6 months terribly. They gave me a frozen salad! On another visit,They made me the wrong sandwich! They are rude as well. And they forgot to call my name when my sandwich was ready! They also don't have utensils or napkins available! read more

Toxic team with Manager basically laughed at me and told me to order another sandwich if I wanted the other half to my full sandwich I ordered. All standing around enjoying messing with customers. Waited to have order taken and was told hang on....2 min. later employee came back and said hang on again....5 min later and before taking my order, they helped another customer who came in after me first. Asked for a refund after everything. Had to ask 3 times. I'm in the service industry and understand a lot of places are short handed. They were not. Customers can be rude. I was calm but boy did this group on a Wednesday evening around 6:30pm have fun at the expense of a customer. read more

This is a typical Panera, but nothing special. I placed an order on the app and it was ready at the pick up counter by the time I arrived. There was a little confusion finding the iced coffee, but they helped point me in the right direction. The Panera has plenty of seating inside and it has plenty of parking as well. read more

The lack of care and any sort of imagination on the part of the food crew here is painfully evident in the quality and presentation of the food. I ordered the turkey chili, and I asked for cheese and onions on it. First of all, it's soup...ok that's my bad for not qualifying this before I ordered it. I asked for cheese and onions...I got a slice of cheese and a few whole rings of onion. You ever try to cut onions with a tiny spoon?? The chili soup was luke warm, so the cheese never melted...it just formed a large ball if you will. It is served with no bread, so I poured my bag if chips in it. This was an improvement of the flavor for sure. My wife's sandwich had decayed rotten slimy black lettuce in it. When she showed it to the "food prep dou" at the food counter they just stared at her and said NOTHING. So she asked for the manager. Here comes the girl in charge. My wife pointed out the black goop and said that it was gross. The girl pointed out that there was "lots of green lettuce too!" Really, is that relevant? This is not the first time we have had poor quality food and sub par service at the Fairfield Panera...but it is the last. Noone gives a crap and that tells me that other standards are being ignored as well. Wake up Panera, you have some issues in this store. In contrast, the Vacaville store has better service, much better quality control, and is run by a manager that obviously knows how to manage food service personel. Once again my money is going to Vacaville. read more

I like Panera but the last few times I've been to the Fairfield mall one they've been out of many many items. Today they have only 2 soups left, neither of which i would opt for. So I asked for the Green Goddess Caprese sandwich but oops! No GG dressing so sorry, and that means the salad of the same name is also out. Ok so maybe the asian crunch salad? Well yes but there's no cilantro. As things go in the world these are not big problems but given the competition among restaurants and that I come here specifically for soup or salad or sandwich, I won't be back to this Panera. If this wasn't a recurring theme here I'd give them another try. read more

I like to go to Panera for a quick breakfast of coffee and a pastry, but this was not a good experience. I ordered an iced mocha - and got a frappachino. Maybe they did not have espresso drinks, but they could have told me as these are not the same thing. Then I ordered a bagel with flavored cream cheese. I asked for the bagel lightly toasted, but I think they didn't toast it at all. Then they cut it completely crooked where one half was 90% of the bagel, and the other half was a parital sliver. Finally, they forgot my cream cheese, and when I went up to get it, I got the third degree - Am I sure I ordered it, did I pay extra for it, do I have my receipt. I was ready to say 'Just charge me for another one!' And then, they gave me plain cream cheese. I'm sure this was just a bad experience, but it did not start my day out well. read more

I'm not one to drink coffee from a disposable paper cup. My husband is my own personal barista and I prefer coffee in porcelain cup with a saucer and a biscotti for dipping. But I really enjoyed the coffee here at Panera bread despite it being in a disposable paper cup (snobby aren't I). Of course my husband made the coffee at Panera bread (he owned 3 coffee houses with music venues in Los Angeles, he also is a winemaker). I enjoyed the chipotle chicken avocado sandwich with focaccia bread and my husband got the Italian with focaccia bread with the pickle on the side. This was a fun lunch date with my husband. It reminds me of the bakeries that we use to visit when we lived in Germany. To me it's pricey for sandwiches but I guess you pay for the environment also. I would definitely come again on a date with my husband! read more

Always great service at this location. Food is consistently good whether it's a sandwich or a salad. Their bakery goods are also quite tasty. Offer indoor eating and some outdoor seating.

Horrible customer service. This is only the second Panera I've ever been to. The first was in Concord, CA, and it was okay. Placed an order online and walked into the store and was looking around for help. Went a window where I was completely ignored the group of young workers. When I asked if they had my order, one of them indifferently answered, "Nope, sorry." Finally, I saw a gal in the front who was the only one who was courteous and showed me where my order was sitting (already prepared and ready to go). To Panera corporate or the franchise owner: Are you serious about running a business in Fairfield ? Because ALL the other business around your location--Panda Express, Wingstop, Barnes & Noble, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Chevy's, Red Lobster--have customer service that is infinitely better than yours. Don't bother to respond because nothing you say will change my mind. Won't be coming back. read more

I'm a big believer in giving the benefit of the doubt but this is the second time now that this has happened. A couple weeks back, we placed an online order and arrived at the pick up area for curbside about 5 minutes after it would be ready according to the app. We waited 30min for our food and it finally came out. Tonight we ordered at 6pm for 6:10pm pick up according to the app. We get there and click that we're here. I get a phone call 15min later that the order isn't ready. At 6:40pm I get an email that my order is ready and we wait again. I finally decide to call them at 6:50pm and someone comes out with the food. At a glance it all looks correct, and we get home and there's a whole Mac and cheese missing. Called them again, they offered a refund. Not an ounce of remorse or sympathy. This place really had changed in the past 3 years. It's very disappointing. read more

I was in this location earlier with my daughter and the service was good, the food the same. A woman who has cancer was in this location being rude and nasty to the employees because she was concerned about germs, covid, flies, and oxygen touching her food. She had the poor people here remake her food twice while she stood there staring and being a total bleep. The people helping her had every right to throw the food at her, but instead they continued to show professionalism and manners even during a frustrating experience. The woman was very entitled and should learn to cook her own food rather than bothering the staff at this business. read more

I should have read the description of the Tomato Basil BLT before I placed a pickup order. I brought it home and kept wondering where the basil was. I guess the bread is flavored with basil but I couldn't detect any basil flavor at all. The sandwich was decent but still a little high priced in my opinion. And the name of the sandwich is misleading in my opinion also. Throw some basil or pesto in it and then you can justify having "Basil" in the name. read more

I've given this location try after try after try but they seem to just hire the people with the least customer service experience possible. They have no quality control. Today they loaded 3 soups, a Mac n cheese all on top of a small salad in one small bag with 4 breads. It was like the leaning tower of soup ending up all over my car. After reminding her I ordered salad I was told it was at the bottom of the hot soups. I asked for another bag and the cashier got an attitude. I had to rebag myself in the drive thru. Upon pulling away the drive thru girl yelled fuck you too. They've finally convinced me not to use this location anymore. read more

Panera Bread - Pretty salad made by the lunch crew! - Sandwiches Near Me - Fairfield, California

I'm sorry, but just " lousey"! Why? One reason I go there is that they have caffeine free Diet Pepsi. NOT TODAY! Also NO SALT, not today, just 3 bins of pepper! I spoke with one long time employee trying to be helpful who said " we get what we get"! So apparently local management has no control over making sure the restaurant has what it needs to operate. Also the ladies room was closed for the entire day. On the restroom door was a sign suggesting that we could use any of their other of their Panera ladies rooms!!! Vacaville? Luckily, I could drive to Michael's store 1/2 mile away and use their ladies room. Yep! If I had ordered before going to the rest room, not sure what I would have done!! Then, the poor cashier must be new, she could not answer any questions about the new menu items without seeking help ( 2 or 3 times)! Poor thing! Then, in the kitchen area, the staff also seemed new, they weren't using the digital notification board accurately, didn't use my name at all! My grandson and I both ordered the baguette, he got 2. So something isn't quite " right" in the kitchen either! Maybe all new staff? The only highlight was that the new Mexican street corn soup was wonderful! I'm not going back to this Panera Bread location. There are so many other restaurants nearby! I'm hoping they can figure things out, but this Panera Bread seems to be heading toward going out of business! My experience there was really not positive! I wonder if the franchise owner is ever " on location"? Something is really going wrong! read more

Over priced!! This place is way over priced. $10 for half a sandwich and an old apple. Unbelievable! The half sandwich taste good, but was definitely no gourmet sandwich. Also, it was supposed to be a hot sandwich, but it was cold in the middle. The small Apple that came with it was old and a little mushy. They have a large menu and the food is pretty good, but they think they are serving gourmet food based on what they charge. I recommend only eating here if it's a special occasion and make sure you food comes out perfect because that is what you are paying for. I will definitely not be going back unless they stop price gouging people. read more
