We came here for lunch and every time they never disappoint. We order our regulars. Husband turkey and cheese as well as my daughter. They really enjoy their sandwich. I get the Mediterranean sandwich with basil bread. I always put extra if everything I can. I learned that trick from my sweet friend from Vegas. It makes it so big and satisfying. The sandwiches come with the potato chips and we order a drink with that. I love the green tea papaya drink. It is not too sweet and the flavor it's great. The place has plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. This is our choice when we want something cold and satisfying. Sandwiches are great in the summer time. So refreshing. The ambiance it's casual and familiar. read more

Panera is... Panera. If you've been there you know what to expect, and this W Shaw location delivers it: comfortable and spacious tables, self-serve ordering and seating, the basic soup-salad-and-sandwich menu and friendly staff. I do want to give a particular shout out to the staff at this location who were all very warm and friendly and helpful. And you know -- Panera food is a bit like other large chains, in the sense that "you get what you get and it's very consistent and it's typically fine." So why only the three stars? Oh it was the chicken salad sandwich. I had been sad that Panera -- quite a while back now -- got rid of its chicken salad sandwich. It's not just my favorite thing to eat there, but it's literally the favorite of most people I know. We all loved that sandwich. And it was discontinued for reasons unknown. But then wait! "For a limited time" Panera was offering a chicken salad sandwich. You'd think it was good right? Well. It was OK but it was nothing like their old chicken salad sandwich. It was a horrible disappointment, for three reasons. 1. It is mush. Instead of the old chicken salad sandwich, which had definite chunks of chicken and other items in it, this was made of shredded chicken mush. Kind of the texture of a soggy tuna salad sandwich with low-grade flaked tuna. Extremely disappointing. 2. It tastes sweet: ugh. A little sweetness in a sandwich is ok. But this was really sweet. 3. The proportions were way off: whereas the old chicken salad sandwich had a heft amount of filling this one had, I joked with my husband, "a hint of chicken." Lettuce and thick tomato acted as filler and there wasn't much chicken. And yes, I'm aware that I'm saying "the chicken wasn't very good" AND "there wasn't much of it." But in the old sandwich, there was a lot of chicken and it was delicious: so. I doubt they'll bring back tbe old chicken sandwich. It was probably kind of expensive to make and all the Panera portions seem to be shrinking. But I wanted to warn other Panera chicken salad sandwich fans -- if you liked the old one, you're more than likely going to be horribly disappointed in this one. read more

Panera Bread - A "hint of mushy chicken" in the new chicken salad sandwich. Not good at all - Salad Near Me - Fresno, California

I wouldn't recommend, the food portions are small not worth your money. The friendly cashier was probably the only good thing there

Had their "50-50" combo where the customer chooses two items from their variety of salads, soups, and sandwiches. Good concept. Unfortunately, it seemed like an unreasonably long wait for my broccoli-cheddar soup and BLT salad. Service seemed indifferent; they weren't passing out pagers when I was there, so it took three trips to the food expediting area to get my order. Not good. Both items were puny portioned & pleasant, but pedestrian (reminiscent of cafeteria quality). Skippable. read more

Leaving this location at 2 stars. The food is inconsistent- sometimes it's fresh and other times the turkey tastes frozen and the lettuce and avocado are brown. You pay a pretty penny here so it puzzles me why you don't always get what you pay for. The service is usually OK when I order inside. It's the drive thru I have an issue with. The worker had a very rude tone with me because I didn't say my name in the speaker for my drive thru pick up order. At the other location at el paseo I can bypass the speaker to pick up my food at the window. Apparently at this location you MUST say your name in their speaker or you will get reprimanded in a rude manner. I was not a happy customer and yes I let management know. I will stick to the other locations. read more

Came here on a Sat at 5pm and no line! The place was empty. The Cashier was friendly and helpful. I had many questions on sizes of pizzas and sandwiches and she was happy to answer. We came for the bread bowls so we could take them home for our own soup that I made but then I also ordered the Pizza Margherita which is a flat bread style. The sauce was a little sweet but not bad. I signed up for the app and got a free pastry so that was a plus. I will be back to try their salads next time! read more

I love Panera, especially during the winter/fall seasons because I love their squash soup and their Fuji apple salad. I come here often for that. Service is always great and the place is always fairly clean. read more

I was a member of the unlimited sip club for one month. In my honest opinion the coffee tasted like the management was trying to stretch the coffee batches. The coffee really lacked body regardless of which variety I chose(dark roast, light roast or the Hazelnut) I guess I will have to go back to my normal at Md's. Otherwise the food is good and their service is good. read more

I just ordered a coffee and some baked goods before heading to the 99 for a road trip. Very disappointed to find that the coffee was lukewarm when I took the first sip. read more

I haven't been at Panera since pre Covid times and I was in for a fear surprise. I tried their popular bacon avo melt. It's crispy and hits the spot on a rainy day. They have many new sandwiches. As a side I went with the bacon topped Mac and cheese and my taste buds were so happy! It was extremely flavorful and so creamy. To round about my lunch, I opted for tye cinnamon roll. I cannot explain the level of deliciousness in that dessert. So "gushy" and warm in the middle. I enjoyed every bite. read more

Staff is so friendly and helpful. I made a mistake on my online order and they were able to resolve it no problem. The food was good quality and came out in a good amount of time. I love the sip club and the drinks are amazing! read more

I don't usually go to this Panera because the one out by 99 is so much closer, but went in last week to have a quick salad. It was so good and made exactly like I ordered it. I also noticed that this location is noticeably cleaner than it used to be. I mentioned this to the young woman behind the counter and she said they have a new manager who is actually doing a lot of the cleaning himself! Impressive. Anyway, I'll be back. I've been to several Paneras and there is a wide variety in service and cleanliness. This one was excellent on both counts. read more

We went to Panera because I had a gift coupon the manager had given me on a previous visit when my order was missing items, only to be told my coupon was three years old and would not be honored. He just gave it to me last month. I was told I needed the manager's name. I'm upset at the customer service and not honoring their own coupons and giving expired ones! read more

Great staff. If you there quite a bit, they take time to get to know you and say hello by name prices r higher than I would like but that's a corporate decision. Of the 4 in our area this is m favorite location. Tell Andy, the manager, hi. He's a great guy read more

Best Panera ever ! A nice lady named ashley helped me when I asked for some extra dressing and a question and she had such a genuine kindness. It seemed like they were all working hard but made the time to make sure me as a guest was taken care of. I like that they have a drive thru too. Other Panera I have been to were not as friendly. Whoever the manager is they're doing it right! I'll definitely be coming back read more

They don't tell you your order is ready when they run out of pagers. Give them your name and the food just sits there. Non helpful staff.

Had the new Italian steak mozzarella today. Ordered the half sandwich for $11 plus dollars. It was more like 1/4 sandwich. Very disappointed. Can see why the company is having problems. Beside the portion the sandwich was just ok. Won't be purchasing again read more

Birthday gets me a free reward! Thank you! Drive-thru taken. The worker was very nice! I ended up getting the pecan braid. They use your number to get the reward. Received the pecan braid after being greeted and wished happy birthday! Thank you! Great service and delicious pecan braid! Highly recommended! read more

Great place with great people! Rolled up with a group of about 35 people twice in two days and everyone was great. A special shoutout to Andy who was remarkably kind and eager to help and make sure everything was right. And if you haven't tried the broccoli cheddar mac and cheese yet, do so! read more

Decent bagels but that's it. Don't order anything else, especially the chicken. I got the worst case of food poisoning ever! It's criminal they could serve something like that to a customer. BAGELS ONLY!!! read more

I wanted to order something quick and small and decided to get a half order of their Asian Sesame Salad with Chicken, and it did not disappoint. I love salads and can be picky about the quality of salads I eat. This particular salad was fresh, crisp, and the dressing was fantastic...it really hot the spot. The only issue I had was the chicken was slightly over salted but I'm chalking it up to being a fluke as I've had other salads with chicken on it before and they had never been over salted before. If you are in the mood for a fast and delicious salad, this is the place! read more

This Panera ALWAYS makes mistakes, especially in the late afternoon. I'm cooking from home for now on. It's not worth the hassle anymore.

This is the first time I have grabbed anything besides a bagel here at Panera. I understand food prices are getting crazy but this chipotle egg wrap, which is over six dollars, is smaller than a bagel. Definitely not something I would buy again for the price but taste was not too bad. It was fresh and hot when I got it. Definitely would not recommend trying to eat it while driving. It was very flavorful with a kick of heat. read more

New menu. All sandwiches have changed. New menu is not good. Sandwiches we got were very bland and not worth spending any amount of money on. We used to come here frequently but now won't come back until the menu changes. Nothing on the menu I want to purchase. read more

This location is top notch. Not only is it close by my home but I have had friendly and great service the 3 times I have been there in the past month. My favorite bagels have been the cinnamon and raisin, Chocolate chip and jalopeno cheddar. The maple walnut cream cheese is pretty awesome too. They do not have any vegan bakery items which is a bummer because I do have one vegan coworker. I do hope that they come around and provide a few vegan baked goods in the future. I have been ordering bagels to go for my coworkers lately but today I purchased a travel coffee pack. I was really impressed by the coffee pack value and flavor. I actually have never had the coffee from Panera before but I am a fan. My coworkers all enjoyed the flavor of the light roast. I have yet to sign up for the rewards program it seeing how often I have been visiting there now, it may be worth it. read more

You see I'm trying to avoid delivery. The associated costs of getting food delivered in my opinion is just not worth it. As a rule drive thru food sucks...except here. Dude I ordered a Large Chicken Caesar salad with extra chicken...dam son It was good. Crispy greens, tender chicken and the dressing is pretty decent too. Strangly enough the fork, yes the fork is actually one you can use, not a miniature junky one! Good times...this may become a daily gig for me. Asian Sesame tomorrow! read more

I was a fan of Panera for years now. Went in October 14th 2022. I'm 7 months pregnant. Was craving a frontega chicken panini. Seen that my husband had doordashed the same thing to himself at work earlier. I went around 8:00pm. Something didn't taste right. I ordered a whole order. I ate half of one sandwich and just put it aside. I was hungry but wasn't tasting like normal. Went home evening and woke up super sick to my stomach. Didn't sleep the entire night. I suffered food poisoning. Had to call my dr, and cancelled my entire work day the next a day. I couldn't even get out of bed from being soo sick all night. I had put the leftover in fridge as soon as I was home. Now My entire fridge smelled. Not in a good way. Once thrown in trash that smelled horrible. I didn't deserve this. Will not be returning to this location or any others. Please take food safety more serious. read more

$17.74 for a half sandwich small cup of overly concentrated soup, soda and a cookie which I never got! Wtf?! The Sandwich was good though. Customer service has good. But damn! $17,74?! read more

So, this place always has good service. The manager is always engaged with his customers. I come here about 1-2 times a month for lunch and sometimes take home dinner to my family. Yesterday I ordered the new Green Goddess Caprese Melt. I've missed the Caprese Sandwich they used to have. It's only ready to order through the App though. I think the manager told me it was starting this weekend live in the store. Loved the new sandwich with only one exception. Not enough fresh mozzarella.... It was barely visible and had hoped to get the Caprese experience. I have to be honest I wasn't feeling it. But the new sandwich was good, just not a close call to a traditional Caprese. I have the review 4 stars because as a store, this place always has good service and deserves 5 for that. The sandwich really only deserves 3 stars as an imitation to the Caprese, but 4 stars for being a good sandwich. read more

We went in for lunch about noon. I was looking forward to Panera's turkey chili and a piece of their french bread. It is no longer on the menu and in its place is fireside chili. I ordered it and it was awful and the bread was literally ice cold. There was so much chili powder in it that it made it almost inedible. Sonic and Wendy's have better chili. The iced tea was disgusting because it was starting to go bad. It looked like no one bothered to clean out the dispenser. It is very disappointing how far down Panera on Shaw Avenue has fallen. I will not be back to this location. I will try River Park location to see if it's any better. read more

Ordered a tote of coffee through door dash. When it gets delivered all I have is a bag of creamer and cups. I contacted the dasher and she tells me that's what they gave her. I tried to call the store to clear it up and it's an automated system and I was never able to talk to a real person. I'm extremely disappointed with this location. I never seem to have a good experience when I deal with them. I just want my freaking coffee. I don't need your crappy creamers. read more

Love this place. Customer service is outstanding . Food is great . Anthony and Savannah provide excellent service and always positive .

Ok, so I get these Greek Yogurt with Berries at Panera Bread frequently, twice now they half ass fill the yogurt, hardly any berries & where is all the granola?! Ridiculous! For $4.79 I expect MORE! The yogurt needs to be filled MORE, the granola filled up to top of lid, NOT a sprinkle! The amount of berries, 2 half strawberries (total 1 strawberry) & 3 blueberries are unacceptable. For the price I paid, $4.79 this yogurt is not worth it! NOT a happy customer! read more

First time here, didn't expect it to taste flavorful and healthy. Somewhat pricey but honestly I'll rather pay this money than get an old sandwich at my work that's been sitting for who knows how long. They don't have much options for sandwiches for me since I'm very picky but I seen that you can substitute and add different items to it. I went with the pick 2. I got turkey sandwich and Cesar Salad. The veggies and bread tasted fresh as well as the salad. I was hooked on the passion fruit papaya green tea. For my first time, I had a good experience read more
