    My favorite drink

    My experience was great here ! Employees so friendly and nice totally 5 stars first time coming here such a cool chill place to eat comfortably

    Panera Lake Elsinore Ca

    Have you tried the Panera blueberry bagel freshly made early morning. I had mine hand sliced and toasted today with cream cheese. Freshly made bagel's are so delicious. Also got their ham, egg and cheese on Asiago bagel. Love it.

    Placed a rapid pick up order for some coffees. Clean restrooms. Quick service & friendly employees.

    The Pick two sandwich meal.

    This was an unplanned stop but it turned out well for a decent lite meal. Panera Bread continues to serve quality food. The restaurant was quiet with few customers this helps when you want a relaxed meal. I do recommend this restaurant and will continue to support the restaurant.

    Burnt. They shouldn't give this to drive thru customers. Didn't open till I got Home. Don't Trust Panera. Declining Quality Over the Years.

    I don't think I've ever been to this Panera location, because it was very pretty hidden in this Lake Elsinore area, all I can say is the place were well kept, everything setup nicely organized and tidy, cleaned thru and thru. Has outdoor seatings and a drive thru, and the most important part is the vanilla syrup bottle is presented at the coffee station. I don't remember if they had Dr Pepper fountain drink at other locations, but this one does have it as an option if you got tired of Pepsi. Trying to get away from the heat of the area, so come inside here and enjoy some AC and stay for awhile

    Hair in Sandwich

    Placed a order in the app. Received my sandwich with a hair inside that made me gag. My husband couldn't even finish his food once he saw the hair. The GM Vincent who's not there would not allow for a refund to be made in his absence. This is appalling and beyond even a subpar performance and quality. I will not be back period except to collect my refund which I have to now drive there for on Friday (today is Tuesday). Quality and customer service is in the negative. If you're in the area just don't go, period!

    They have those order yourself kiosks and it was easy and served very quickly..I had the autumn squash soup with pine nuts ..so yummy..nice and hot..and a cáptese chicken sandwich (1/3) and a fruit cup ..my family had a fresh Caesar salad, broccoli cheese soup (always a hit) and my granddaughter had chicken noodle soup..that bread is delicious as always and let's talk about their pastries ..so much goodness..in glad they were behind the glass..can't leave without one ..(at least a COOKIE) lots of beverage selections too! ..we sat in a cozy little booth ..

It's an up-and-coming sandwich shop, and for good reason: handmade loaded sandwiches for $7.99 is an absolute steal in today's economy. There's only one worker so it can take a while if there are people waiting in line, but the wait is definitely worth it. Both the Simply Italian, GRB w/ AVO sandwiches are 5/5; the sandwiches are made-to-order with freshly cut ciabatta bread, thinly sliced meat, and veggies. Their quesadilla was also amazing too, and much bigger than what you would get from Taco Bell. Overall Bocadillo Kitchen was fantastic and it deserves the traction its getting from social media. I hope to visit again soon in the future.

Service is great the paid attention to detail in making the sandwich and the way she folded the wrapper. The pomegranate mango sauce or pomegranate vinaigrette added very nice sweet flavor. We got Bocadillo Signature sandwich about $8. Toasty bread outside really yummy sandwich. Can't wait to take my wife here. They give you a paper and you take it to the gas register and pay. Lastly no tables or chairs for eating have to take it to go. Have a nice day!

It's interesting how they have a little robot to assist in bringing the food to the table, but I can see why. Because the bowls of soup are filled to the brim, it helps ensure no spillage and the heat to the hands in carrying it is eliminated. So smart! Nevertheless, Alex was the only wait staff and he was shuffling around helping the whole restaurant like a pro!!! He lended me his wifi so I could transfer money from accounts to pay on Apple Pay and told me it's a small family owned business. It is located right next to Target (between the optometrist & fish tacos) in Lake Elsinore, it's not much to look at from the outside, but full of heart on the inside!

The highlight though was the Vietnamese coffee was fantastically tasty! So I'm glad I have another place for that that's within the area. So all in all I spent like 30 bucks for a large and a Vietnamese coffee. Kind of pricey but probably about the normal right now.

Main Street Kitchen & Tap is perfectly situated across from a public parking lot, but we easily found parking at the curb out front. Tables outside looked inviting, but we were a bit chilly, so inside we popped. The brick and wood decor added to the cozy vibe and walls displayed historic photos of Old Lake Elsinore Main Street. Love that! After scanning the menu, I opted for the Whiskey Glazed Salmon with steamed broccoli and creamy garlic potatoes (which I read as mashed, but no, they're cubed). The salmon was cooked nicely and the whiskey sauce was tasty and light without being overly sweet. I think I would've preferred garlic mash potatoes, but ate a bit of the cubed ones to note they were fine. The steamed broccoli was done perfectly and NOT drowning in butter, which I greatly appreciated. Hubs was peckish, not as hungry as me and asked if he could get the kid's menu cheeseburger and fries for an upcharge. Nichelle, our friendly server, said, 'No problem, it's understood it's a smaller portion adults also like.' Great! It states that it comes with a free soda as part of the kid's menu, but Hubs had already ordered coffee, and I don't drink soda, so that was itemized along with the coffee charge, but we didn't mind because Hubs was getting exactly what he was craving. He proclaimed the cheeseburger and very soft, steamed bun as 'Yummy!' and the serving of fries 'just right.' All in all, MSKT was a delightful discovery and we would pop in again when returning to Lake Elsinore, which we will better plan for and make time to enjoy the shops along this quaint stretch. Cheers! "CC"

I got the mini vegetarian pizza, tiramisu and alfredo- it's their chicken alfredo, I ordered it without the chicken. The alfredo itself was ok. A somewhat small portion. The mini pizza is what you'd expect a mini pizza to look like-4 small pieces that look more like half pieces. The tiramisu, well, I'm not used to seeing tiramisu like theirs. I rated this place as 2 stars/ "could've been better" because I'm thinking if I ordered the same thing from Dominos-a mini/small pizza and their 4 cheese pasta- it would've tasted better, been a slightly bigger portion and have been cheaper. The pizza just tasted bland, plain. Nothing to really crave, savor or remember it by to bring me back. The tiramisu tasted more like cake, which is not good or bad, just an observation and in contrast to what I'm used to. When I usually have tiramisu, it's usually a rectangle and very moist. Almost like tres leches moist, but not as much. The tiramisu here didn't have that moistness-the ladyfingers didn't taste wet or soaked. But all the flavors-the coffee and cocoa-were there. It was enjoyable. The alfredo wasn't bad-but is alfredo ever bad? I think it was baked, which was coo. Just seems like for the price, it would've been a bigger portion.
