I just had the fuji apple salad yesterday in a different town, yet today my salad didn't seem the same. Yesterday my salad had pecans, today it seemed to be tiny bits of walnuts. Yesterday I had them hold the cheese, as I don't like feta. Today my salad had shredded cheddar (I think) as a substitute. It was OK, but I just remember how thrilled I was to have found a new salad place for lunch yesterday. I'll give them a try again and see what the tastebuds think. Then I'll decide if it's a new favorite. read more

Panera Bread - Specials - Salad Near Me - Fresno, California

Don't bother, they can't seem to get an order done correctly. 3 separate times something is always missing. BTW I am a fan of Panera, this one is just a lost cause! Yelpers beware read more

We ventured over to West Shaw for a change of scenery and ended up here due to needing something very casual. Upon entering the restaurant, it definitely gives the fast food vibe with a touch of bakery. For being somewhat new to the menu, it is a bit overwhelming. The clerk was very helpful and courteous. We ordered from the "pick 2" -- soup/corn chowder, chicken apple cheddar sandwich, & almond-chicken sandwich with Cesar salad. Total bill with water only was about $22. Food came up quickly and you walk to get your own. The bread was amazingly fresh and delicious. The rest of our food tasted definitely more like cafeteria style. There's a great atmosphere that feels cozy and comfortable. Nice light music, not too loud. It's a perfect place to have a quaint meeting. We will definitely be back, but more likely to stick to bread and soup next time. read more

Panera Bread - Lovely atmosphere with home-like feel. - Salad Near Me - Fresno, California

This Panera Bread is spacious compared to other locations. I ordered the Kale Caesar Salad. It was very tasty. Kale is suppose to be a really awesome super food. I will be getting my vitamins A, C and K with my salad please. Yes, the Kale was a bit strong but it worked well with the chicken, Caesar dressing, and crisp cheese crackers. The girl at the register was really patient and polite as she took our order. I will be coming back for a fresh quick salad. read more

Food is decent,I'd give it a 5/10 but for the price,for a whole meal for two you could goto Cheesecake Factory and spend less. Like seriously how do you charge that much food that's just a little better than subway? read more

This place is one of the best restaurants I've been to, the food is amazing and fresh!This place also has amazing service and is really fast. This restaurant is also very quiet and calm. read more

I overall like panera. I think the food is consistent and the menu is good. They have everything from breakfast items and baked goods to lunch items. They also have great coffee and drinks. I usually get a salad and soup or a sandwhich and I always enjoy my meal. The staff is always professional and gracious and for the most part very efficient taking orders and getting your meal to you in a timely fashion. read more

Love it on a cold day. Reminds me of my grandma when I was little. Happy tummy happy heart read more

Panera Bread - Chicken noodle soup - Salad Near Me - Fresno, California

I was VERY disappointed with my meal. I ordered a Bacon Avocado Melt and couldn't even chew it. The bacon pieces were hard as rock.

We go to Panera Bread often. Warm and cozy comfort food. Wonderful soups. Great sandwiches. Delicious salads that make a diet easy to handle. Very reasonable prices. Great staff. I was snapping pics all over the place for this review. The manager came over and asked me what I was doing. Uh, pictures for yelp I meekly responded. Oh. Ok then. Great atmosphere. Great food. You will like. read more

Today when I used the drive up I was 1)Charged 4 a whole salad rather than what I ordered :1/2 salad w/out chicken ...I brought to attention of cashier whom made adjustment ...but still charged for the chicken instead of reducing for the cost of a salad w/out protein... 2)Idid not contents of order ....when I got home I realized ADDITIONALLY an item was missing from my order 3) when I called manager there was no offer to replace item upon next visit... Be sure if using drive up to check your purchase (no matter how long the line behind you) so you do not get shorted in my case there was not anyone in front/or behind me in line so it should have been easy to prepare /charge appropriately Lesson learned ...do not expect accurate service from Drive up Panara in West Shaw Ave Fresno Ca read more

I love this exact location of Panera! It's close to home so when I need to study (I'm easily distracted at home) I come here. It's typically pretty clean and I can always find a booth large enough for all my study material. Andres the store manager is hospitable and creates a warm atmosphere. I love feeling like this is my second home. read more

Panera Bread - Hazelnut coffee w/ cream! Delish!! - Salad Near Me - Fresno, California

Normally everything is top notch, and for the price you pay I'd expect that. Don't know what happened today, but I really don't care to eat produce stickers. read more

Panera Bread - For the price I paid for a pick two I'd like to think they'd notice something like this before giving it to the customer. - Salad Near Me - Fresno, California

We normally LOVE Panera. But the last few times this location has been off their game the last few times. Especially last night. (Tuesday 11/26/19). They had a notice stating they were out of Romaine lettuce. (Fine)... then the cashier, Emanuel was totally confused while we were ordering. I'm a vegetarian, so stated that I wanted NO chicken on my Fuji Apple salad. Then they were out of the baguette as a side... but they don't even offer a regular slice of bread or even an old bagel as a substitute. (We ended up buying a plain bagel). Then my moms grilled cheese sandwich was NOT even toasted or melted. I had to remind the cashier to give us our desserts/pastries(he literally forgot). To top it all off, as they were preparing our food, another employee was sweeping near the food prep area!! So gross! read more

$3.25 for a cup of coffee? They've always had higher than average prices but it's getting ridiculous? Looks like I will not be coming back for awhile.... That includes eating lunch here as well. National chains are famous for passing the buck to the consumer. I will spend my money on local owned, mom and pops from now on until these Biden admin inflation prices calm down! Warning to all, stay away, price gouging! read more

Panera Bread - Crazy high price for coffee - Salad Near Me - Fresno, California

I go here a lot, I always get the pick 2. Usually get the chipotle chicken sandwich or the tuna sandwich. Both great sandwiches. For soups, I've gotten the chicken noodle soup, wild rice chicken soup & the broccoli & cheddar soup. A little pricy but it's delicious! read more

I love this place. I recently became a vegetarian/pescetarian and trying to eat healthier and this is one place that allows me to do that. People think that eating healthy means costing more but Panera offers budget meals that are both affordable and healthy. I get the Mediterranean Veggie with extra bread and their amazing Agave lemonade. They have comfy seating options as well! read more

My honey got me the Sip club and I have enjoyed having my morning coffee while sitting in a very comfortable sofa chair. Great coffee and great atmosphere with great service. read more

The food was fresh & delicious. The service was excellent. I appreciate feeling like I'm welcome as a person & customer. The manager was on the floor making sure the patrons were being taken care of & they had everything they needed. Very pleasant experience. This is for the Panera on Weber. read more

I came here at 9:05PM TODAY 10/24/17 and the girl said their dining area was closed. Then this car drove up and the gentleman got out of the car and used his key to get inside . The website and the info on the phone indicates that the hours are until 10pm so I do not appreciate going out of my way to go to this restaurant to be lied to about "indoor eating hours" are only until 9pm ... that info isn't posted anywhere on the doors or on their webpage or on the telephone info line ... maybe they should hire people that know how to do their job ... maybe it's the city I'm in Because this is the second time this has happened because some worker wants to go home early or not want to clean and not have to clean again because a customer walks inside ... sad work ethic and poor customer service here on Shaw Ave in Fresno read more

Chose this place for breakfast this morning cheese bagel and mac and cheese lol weird combination i know but will see

We bought the soup group, its supposed to feed 4 people. What a joke! It only has enough for two people if you each want a lousy 8oz each. Huge ripoff. read more

Well, thought would give them another chance. Boy, was I wrong. I ordered a Chicken Baja Bowl omgosh it was horrible. Hardly, any Chicken and the beans and corn tasted really old. The rice was very undercooked. A waste of $13.69. read more

Often have I driven by a Panera and I know many who are fans that have recommended ...was a lunch option today so I finally walked in. Pick 2, for me....Baked potato soup (only missing BACON!!!) and a turkey sandwich. Even with the line of people, service was quick and food delicious (but come on potato soup w/o BACON!?!?!) Very pleased and was the right choice for this fat guy :-) read more

I love Panera Mac and Cheese!! Best comfort food. And I ordered online because it's raining and figured it'd be easier. But as with any internet action sometimes computers slower :/ but at least I know to call for future. Super props to Andy who took care of me tonight. You can tell when someone cares about their job. Appreciate the consideration and I'm not going to let the Internet kerflawful keep me away!! read more

I placed a breakfast order for a curbside pickup at 10:20 AM, I arrived at 10:15AM and via email told the staff I was there for my curbside pickup, at 10:22am Panera sent me an email telling me that my order was ready, I responded to the email that I was there and waiting in parking spot 2 and then I waited, until 10:35am when I called the restaurant I had been sitting in my car at just outside to ask where my order was, 5 minutes later my order was brought to my car, with my cold toasted bagel, which is disgusting cold, no explanation, as to why I had to sit in my car waiting for my curbside order for 20 minutes. I'm so disgusted with the service, the quality of food, and the attitude of the staff. read more

I ordered a half sandwich that was really delicious but very expensive so that would be my main reason for not frequenting Panera. The lemonade was very good, also. This location has a nice dining area and a large patio, with free wi-fi as well as charging stations in the booths. They are definitely geared for the person who wants to go there to get work done. read more

I needed a Strawberry Poppyseed with Chicken Salad that serves 10. Was driving so decided to call the order in. I called the River Park Location. I was placed on a lengthy hold. Stated what I wanted. I was told they were too busy with the lunch crowd and would not be able to make the Salad. (The call was placed at 12:06). So I asked if I could get it at 1:30 pm. I was then placed on yet another hold, then told No. I was told it was a catering order. Catering orders needed to be called in 24 hrs. prior! (This was a 9 minute call) I then called the Shaw Ave. location. No problems. I Was NOT placed on hold. The Order was placed and paid for over the phone. When I arrived it was handed to me with a smile. I'm not sure why River Park wasn't able to handle the order. I'm so Happy the Shaw Ave. location was. read more

Pretty good sandwiches and soups. Their green tea is really good. Haven't tried the pastries. My favorite sandwich is the chicken avocado. This place is pretty ok in my opinion read more

Weird service. Not really effective. Just average Sometimes good service sometimes a long wait they get your order right but they don't always charge you the right amount read more

This is probably the worst Panera I've ever been to. This is expensive food for its class. Learn to cut and serve a proper baguette (see picture of hand torn bread). Sucks because it's right up the street. I'll might give other locations a chance. read more

I got the breakfast sandwich bacon egg and instead brioche opted for the everything bagel it was very skimpy not at all like the pictures... Yesterday I came for lunch I got the potato soup it looks like they scraped the bottom of the barrel for this small Amount of soup, as I walk to my seat I realize that's probably exactly what happened as other bowls were much Fuller than mine... It took a long time for the lady behind the counter to understand that I wanted a large fountain drink and not a large coffee she kept trying to give me the paper coffee cup which is much smaller. read more

I got Panera again. They forgot my frizzed onions *again.* It's really always something, isn't it. It's wild. Like, to forget something like frizzled onions isn't a big deal, right? But when they forget something literally almost every. single. time. I come here, then that's a problem. So, I think the only solution is at this point, since this has been happening for MONTHS, is to no longer go anymore. Y'all really need to get it together. It's unacceptable to forget something, sometimes more than one something, on every single order that I pick up on a minimum of once a week. read more

I am very disappointed in the customer service I received today 06/24/2020 at 8:40pm I went through drive thru to get some dinner and a gentleman on the drive thru window was very unfriendly and rude he did not look happy to be there and gave me the dirtiest look ever. I'm guessing because I went 20 min before closing but let me just say customer service is always a plus when working in any food chain or store. I will not be going to this location anymore. read more

This Panera store is fabulous! Love love love the coffee as it's brewed flavor is way better than some of the other Panera's I've visited. I only go to this store because they are the best!! The coffee is very robust and flavorful. The service has always been friendly and welcoming especially Andy the store manager! Andy treats you like family!! He works as hard as his employees. Andy is an extremely nice and a very genuine person! I've always had a great experience with all the food I've tried. The part that makes me always go to this Panera is the friendly employees and manager Andy!! Thank you for always making me feel so welcome!! read more

You knowvyou want to support businesses since covid but this is my last time at this location. They forgot things from my order and the lettuce in my salad was very very old, limp and brown. Unfortunately i went to my drive thru and couldn't inspectbit before i got to my house. Never again!!!! read more

Okay they've got their groove back gotta update the review... Panera has been on it and food has been better than ever glad it's still my favorite drive thru :) read more

Menu crowed and confusing...the pick two deal isn't the deal it looks to be...1/2 flat bread and cup of soup for $8.00 plus? The flat bread I ordered was tasty but small and I couldn't taste any chicken on it or feel the texture of meat in my mouth. Disappointing. The dinning area was messy and it seemed the staff was more focused on socializing between each other and that the customer and the restaurant were more of an afterthought. Some of the conversation was not appropriate. Really unimpressed here and won't be back. -G read more
