I like when the ingredients are inside my sandwich. I ordered the chipotle chicken avocado with both the chicken and avocado falling out of the sandwich. Little did I know I would be even more disappointed with how little chicken and avocado was in the sandwich. read more

Panera Bread - I've never been more disappointed in someone's ability to make a sandwich. Avocado and chicken barely made it on the bread. Thanx - Sandwiches Near Me - Oxnard, California

Their food was usually decent, so my husband went to grab a takeout on his way home. When I looked in the bag, they forgot to put in the sandwich! Wasn't given a receipt either, so good luck trying to get them to fix their mistake. Probably would have been better to go down the street to Subway. read more

Honestly probably one of the worse paneras I've been too. They're supposed to serve breakfast until 11 on weekends and stopped at 1030 on Sunday (I've gotten breakfast at this time many times on Sunday's) so I'm not sure if the staff decided they no longer wanted to do breakfast or the girl at the front was lying/not doing her job right. Also asked for two toasted bagels and they were basically just warmed up, sounds recommend coming here even if you're desperate for food lol. read more

To sum up my visit, it would just be that everyone here wasn't trained properly or trained at all for customer service. They messed up my order twice and didn't apologize after messing up twice, even though I was understanding. Tried to pull a fast one over me saying I couldn't speak to the manager because they were on break and it's policy, when I know it's not policy because I used to work for Panera. Let them know about the mistakes they made and told them I was okay with mistakes as long as everything is resolved and I get what I paid for, but yet, they screw it up again. Thanks for displaying such customer service so that I won't return. Just a disappointing experience nonetheless. read more

So upset, that a bagel shop no longer has cream cheese! I do have to admit, it's been a year since I've eaten anything like this, so this may not be "New" information if Panera Bread lovers already knew this. But we took a little day trip along the coast and decided to treat ourselves with our favorite carbohydrates and sugar breakfast place. The smoke alarm kept going off and after I ordered my French Toast bagel, sliced and toasted, with a side of Hazelnut Cream Cheese. The lady put my warm bagel on a plate, with a little condiment cup that says "Plain Cream Cheese Spread". And then I was told Panera Bread no longer makes or serves cream cheese. What?!?! No longer our favorite splurge destination . I almost went to Starbucks instead, Always follow your first mind. read more

There was a line to order when we entered. That's usually a good sign. Ordered arugula and steak sandwich and a turkey bacon on tomato basil. They have chocolate milk! No cup for the milk and no cup of soda like we ordered. Wife went back to inquire. The girl taking the order was kind of a space case. Wife came back with her drink! We sat in a booth and it smelled, not clean, enough we moved. It smelled better were we moved to. The food was below mediocre. It was expensive. $25 for two drinks a 1 1/2 sandwiches. The staff was nice but the entire ambiance was "we're all used up" Probably won't return. :-( read more

Save your money go else where there was this really rude general manager who tried to help someone before me and my friends we clearly were in front of them as she then asked the people behind us did you guys get helped and she was about to help them till I said we definitely were in front of them her name is (Claudia) the general manager she definitely needs to be retrained her attitude is so trash for being a general manager super unfriendly and very unfortunate that she's so unhappy there I hope she finds a job that suits her god bless read more

We go to all three locations in the area (Oxnard, Camarillo, & Ventura). I'm not sure why but this location has horrible customer service. Every time I come to this location, there's a problem. Tonight, I tried phoning in my order and the employee asked to place me on a brief hold. I was on hold for so long that when he finally picked up again, I told him that at this point, I would just come in and order at the counter because I was already parked and getting out of my car. Employee replied "Okay." and hung up. Placed my order for 2 bowls of potato soup, 1 bowl of turkey chili, and a chipotle chicken sandwich. Got the food out to my car and saw on the receipt stapled to my bag that they had given me some kind of turkey sandwich. Not what I ordered. My husband took it back inside and told a lady at the front counter. She snatched it from his hand without apology and went to the back. Go to the other locations. Panera needs to send someone out to talk to management about their employees here. read more

We used to love coming to this location but the past 2 months the service and food has been of very poor quality. They are always out of many basic items such as the chocolate chipper mini cookies. I've tried getting a bag at 7am and they are already out. If they always sell out, it seems logical they would make a bigger batch. It also seems like all the familiar, friendly faces who worked here are gone and the place has all new staff members who aren't sure how to make the products and seem confused and are too busy to stop and say hi or thank you. Looks like I'll have to find another place to eat and buy my snacks. read more

Service is very slow. Entrance was also not very well organized and confusing whether people are in line to order or waiting for food. Too bad it was my 1st time at Panera. read more

I stopped here to do a little studying whilst experiencing the pseudo-posh plaza known as The Collection. When I arrived I was a little overwhelmed at the selection of deli and pastry items. Nevertheless, I went with my gut and ordered the popular meal combo of a deli sandwich, a 1/2 soup, and a piece of baguette. I ordered their Mediterranean Veggie sandwich with a tomato soup: it was actually pretty good. The sandwich was filling despite having no meat in it; the tomato soup was warm and seasoned properly (canned tomato soup is overly salty). I signed up for a Panera member's card and automatically received a free espresso drink as a reward. A caveat about the free drink: it's not an automatic gift, but a promotion that was being offered this day; thus, when you sign up you may or may not receive a free item. Anyways, the girl who helped me was extremely kind and helpful. Also, one of the servers, who was genial and affable, was kind enough to recommend a drink which ended up being the Caramel Latte coffee. That coffee shot my heart rate through the roof! It was so tasty that I drank a bit too fast and ended up shaking my leg so much I put a hole in the floor. This place is convenient for anyone looking to get a good meal or a quick coffee and pastry and do some studying. They also have free wifi!! It is definitely one of my new study spots! read more

I've had various disappointing experiences at this location. This last one is pushing me to write a review. I ordered two salads for pick up last week. Being between doctor appointments for our newborn, we ordered online and picked up the food and headed out. When we opened the salads, the greens were kind of wilted and there was no chicken in the salads. We were hungry and sleep deprived and this was the last thing we needed. I called the restaurant numerous times to request a refund but never got through. Then I called the corporate number and all I got was a reference number for a case saying that someone from the franchise would contact me. It's been over a week and I haven't heard anything. A few years back I ordered the same salad and it came with a rotten egg. It smelled so bad that it made me wonder about the food safety at this place. I brushed it off as a one time thing, but this restaurant clearly isn't being run well. read more

Panera Bread - Panera forgot to add chicken to my salads. - Sandwiches Near Me - Oxnard, California

Super friendly staff. good food. Wait time wasn't long even though they were a bit short staffed. They handled it like champs.

Honestly, not the best food out there. The only reason I went was because I had a gift card. It was my first time trying it and I ordered my meal online. I was very specific on my order with no avocado, tomatoes etc... When I walked in, the place was empty, I received my To-go order and when I got home. 1. My food was backwards so my sandwich spilled, 2. They left everything I told them to exclude, 3. Food overall wasn't that great. I'm willing to try it again sometime but not anytime soon :/ read more

First things first I love bagels! Especially from Panera. Good atmosphere and fantastic bagels. My spot for early morning breakfast.

Horrible service, just go to McDonald's you'll probably get better service there. Walked in and waited 5 minutes before someone to even show up to the front counter to take your order. The whole place was almost empty, I guess they were too busy talking. Another customer walked in after me, the same thing happen. The guy couldn't wait and left. After 30 mins of waiting, the manager came over and said "sorry we gave your order to the wrong person". Now it makes sense why this place is empty... read more

Had the Turkey BLT protein style with Butternut Squash Soup, my wife had the Fuji Apple Chicken Salad with the Butternut Squash Soup also, great service at the register and quick service in get our order, soup was outstanding, very consistent. Just wanted to let you know that, if you have an employee clean tables, don't have him serve the food. You can get cross contamination with the cleaning products he's using to clean tables. read more

I can't say enough of how good this place is for America. I'm not kidding. I love seeing Panera Bread in suburban shopping centers like this, because they can be exposed to real normal sized portions when it comes to soups, salads, and sandwiches. Yes it's true this place has the word Bread in it, and if you are trying to lay off carbs you will cry in starvation horror. But you can swing it easily. The pick 2 combos where you pick a healthy salad and soup, and replace that baguette with a healthy apple is a much more healthier alternative to a fast food joint. read more

Panera Bread - Chili and chicken Cobb - Sandwiches Near Me - Oxnard, California

I have been to many Paneras all over the LA and Ventura County areas, and this one is by far my favorite. It's located in a nice, new shopping center that has a nice large parking lot which is nice and easy. The staff has always been incredibly friendly and accommodating. It can sometimes get a bit busy, but you can tell how hard the staff is working to keep the restaurant clean and organized. Every manager I have come across is super kind and strives to ensure the staff knows what they're doing. The bread is always fantastic. Many times I will come in here just to buy a baguette or bread bowl. I am also a huge fan of the Fuji Apple Chicken Salad, and ask for extra dressing. They never charge me extra for it! Great atmosphere and a wonderful staff. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I ordered 20 minutes before going to pick it up. My order was not anything special just two bowls of soup. The reason for ordering ahead was cause I worked an 11 hour shift & I needed to pick up something quick for dinner. Two star low rating is not cause of the food but the extremely long wait. It should not have taken 30 minutes to get two bowls of soup that I ordered 20 minutes prior to walking in. read more

I'm doing this review while I'm in this Panera location. I'm only giving this a 3 star because I LOVE anything in Panera. I walked in and the lady at the register was looking at me and did not even acknowledged that I am there. I walked to her register and made an eye contact and asked her about the new items that they have on the display board. She wasn't sure of what answers to give me. She referred me to look at the menu card behind me for information on the items that I was inquiring about. I felt rushed by her so I decided to just order what I originally planned to order. The WIFi is really slow and the restaurant area are not that clean to include the floor and trash area. Overall, this location needs some improvement. read more

I love Panera, but this is unacceptable. Every time I order rapid pickup it's never ready or the order is wrong. I'm very tired of getting to school and seeing that something is missing. I go to school about 30 minutes away I can't go back and grab the missing items. Also I have an AP test to take today, so now I'll be starving till I finish. So thanks Panera for your excellent service. read more

Seriously $9 + for a full Greek salad that is v little quinoa, olives, cucumber and nuts layered over 2/3 bowl of kale?! Charged $1 for adding edamame, but no deduction for taking off lettuce from the salad! Terribly overpriced! read more

I have been to this location several times mostly during my lunch break sometimes it's fair but sometime the service is horrible. They constantly take their sweet little time taking orders and there is no urgency to open up one more of 4 registers that they have available. Sometimes they have customers in there that are very extra and have the cashier reading off every specific detail in the menus to these clients. That's fine but atleast acknowledge the people in line and attempt to get some help. There are many times I have gone over my time allowed for my lunch break. Today I went in on my day off and the same thing happened. This location now has just lost my business for life. read more

My dad was craving a Turkey BLT and I suggested Panera. As I ordered his sandwich, the clerk ringing it up had no idea what was in it and when I asked to add yellow mustard, she asked me what that was and that I could only have the maple mustard. I was over trying to explain it again so, I paid and went to five guys to order some fries. I returned to find this sandwich at the table: the turkey, avocado BLT at its finest. Oh and here's the kicker, there wasn't any avocado or mustard on it. Asked the manager, if that's what I ordered. She happily said "yes, enjoy!" I've gotta say it was a pathetic excuse for a sandwich! But, the fries at Five Guys were amazing! Ended up grabbing my dad a burger too! read more

Panera Bread - Turkey, Avocado BLT! So disappointed! Thank goodness for Five Guys fries! - Sandwiches Near Me - Oxnard, California

Service was fast, friendly and order was correct.Ambiance was mellow enough considering the Wednesday lunch crowd. To whom it may concern, there was a 2cm piece of plastic in my chicken noodle cup. Nice bonus. Extra protein perhaps? Secret ingredient? read more

Great location in the middle of the Collection shopping center. Food is good, always the same as any other Panera. But I'm giving this one a 5 star due to the customer service. I recently ordered online and went to pick up. I waited maybe 5 minutes past the expected window, which if you've ever ordered food online is well within the acceptable range. Even though I hadn't waited very long, I was offered a free pastry for waiting extra, which I thought was a very kind gesture! So overall, good Panera food, and excellent customer service! read more

Service great, fast, friendly and helpful. Salad was delicious, had to ask for extra dressing because they hardly put any on at all. Not a big fan of the poppyseed dressing though so I think I'll try the same salad but with a different dressing next time. Chicken sandwich was ok, needed some salt, which is weird, the chicken was maybe a bit too plain. But the bread, amazing. That was sooo good!! And the cheese pastry, too die for as well. read more

Panera Bread - Strawberry poppyseed salad, pretty good. - Sandwiches Near Me - Oxnard, California

Went in on Thursday night to eat the cooks had to cook for a whole table ( I didn't know since I didn't see them) so my order took about 20 min I went back to ask for a refund and the lady on the register explained why it took long and she apologized and I understood why, I wasn't mad at all.... or irritated just hungry lol... she went quick to the back started helping the team and apologize again offered me 2 pastry's I rejected them only wanted 1 and thanked her... I was happy with the quick customer service and quick action. I didn't get her name but thank you for being so kind, quick, and professional rock on dude thanks. read more

covid 19 dangers 4/25/20 i went in to panera in oxnard and placed an order and while i was waiting a friend of the staff walked in and ordered and he went to talk to the food help and he rested his elbows on counter overlooking the food line and he was not wearing a mask or gloves. i should have refused my order. i will never eat at any panera again. please be aware. read more

Jo was helpful, explained the menu knowledgeably and didn't rush a newb such as myself. Shoutout to Chase for being a super laid back yet still effective manager/shift lead. He made light conversation while bringing me my food since I ate here just now; not to mention my "Pick 2" meal was ready in minutes! Made me feel welcomed yet not overburdened with superficial conversation; I appreciate that fine line. Wait staff never once bothered me, but kindly asked if I would like them to take my tray away just moments after finishing my soup and sandwich. Alas, the food! The turkey bravado whatever the hell I got was well assembled and tasted fresh. Similarly, the chicken and wild rice soup was creamy in a subtle way that did not taste like it was saturated with salt or preservatives. The two made a great pair for dipping and I ended up throwing the last of my sandwich into the soup to finish it off! Light roast coffee tastes great black and they even write the brew time so there is no confusion as to how long it has been out! Apple looks crisp; I'm saving it for dessert later. Don't be cheap. Enjoy good food at a reasonable price. -Raymond read more

Silverware not washed. Had lip stains and green dried on matter. When I get this from any eatery, it is a total turn off for me to return. Ten veg soup was really salty. read more

Panera Bread - Mac and cheese and broccoli cheddar soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Oxnard, California

Just got an $11 "Cobb" salad. It consisted of lettuce and chicken. Can I give zero stars?

Delicious lunch! The sandwich was so good. I also got the Sink cookie! I will definitely get that again!

A big fan of Panera and their rapid order on the app! I ordered 3 pastries on rapid order and ended waiting 30 mins before asking for a refund. No one there had a sense of purpose when I inquired about my order. This will be the last time going to this location because this wasn't the first time I've waited over 30 mins past generated pickup time for an order that was placed online. read more

The cashiers are always friendly. We are regulars. The ones that make the drinks conversate too loud to each other, it makes new think that's why our drinks take forever. Today the girl doing the drinks was rude and convertational. My husband ordered a cafe moca and he likes it chocolately so he asks for extra shots. Today he wasn't satisfied so he asked for more chocolate she argued she put enough and he should stir it and he got what he paid for. So wrong.Bad customer service The breads and pastries are always fresh and good. read more

Quality of food has really gone down at this location. They ran out of a lot of items that went with our food and they forgot my soup.
