Pasta was good and so was the clam chowder bowl. Even the brocoli soup is good.. clean place n great service

Worst pasta ever, we order to go and It was horrible and over price .! It was super dry no flavor what so ever, one tiny piece of chicken Horrible horrible horrible, never ordering from here again. ! read more

This place does sandwiches, soup, and salads right! The fresh ingredients make every dish so flavorful. I love the broccoli cheese soup. I often order it alone and take it home to enjoy. The fresh breads are amazing and preservative free! read more

I bring medical offices lunch nearly everyday and this Panera is by far the friendliest and most effective restaurant that I frequent. Good on ya. read more

I have come here so many times and it's early in the morning only to be disappointed. They never have all their bagels. If they know people come in the morning why not be ready? Especially on bagel Tuesday. read more

I've never felt I had to write a bad review specially not here at Panera one of my favorite restaurants but I actually got the worst salad EVER!! I've been to la Mirada, Whittier, Cerritos, Lakewood panera's many many times and i always get the freshest salads and Pico Rivera apparently doesn't care. I got a Fiji chicken salad that apple chips that were small flakes from the bottom of the package and they were sooooo stale and the lettuce was black. I should have taken a picture but I tossed it instead. I'm SOOO disappointed with this location. I will be sure to never come to this location again!! So disgusting!! read more

Been to this panera enough times now to write a decent review. The salads here suck! The menu highlights all the ingredients that are not lettuce. Salad comes... 95% crappy iceberg lettuce. Bland taste, and I got the runs later on at night. I've come to realize that panera's internal marketing (the decor and look of the place) is what makes people feel they can pay $9 for a shit salad. Just for that... I'm getting a water cup and putting lemonade in it. read more

I had their French onion soup a while back and it was disgusting. I haven't had panera since. I used to always go to the panera in Cerritos and never had a complain. So today I came in to get a hair cut at supcuts next door and decided to get a tea or coffee I decided to get a chi tea latte but when I walked in no one was at the registers I waited like 5 mins for anyone to come out. A chunty lady popped out and asked if I was ready to order. I said um yea after waiting in pretty sure I'm ready. I asked for the chi tea and i asked for soy milk she said they don't have it but they have almond milk I said ok. I get charged 4.50 I was like what.... And they charged me for almond milk with out even telling me. I mean if you're going to charge me more at least have the decency of telling me . read more

Decided to come here for coffee and some lunch today as a little splurge. It was just after noon, but it wasn't all that busy when my husband and I walked in. However, we decided to forego the cashier and use the kiosk, especially because we haven't seen that before. I love the fact that you can customize everything on the menu that you order through the kiosk. My husband and I both got the you pick 2 combos since they're a decent value and filling. All of the food tasted good, but my big complaint is that my French onion soup was barely a lukewarm temperature by the time it was brought out to me. It didn't really take that long, either, so something tells me they dished out my soup before they even started to make the sandwiches. Despite that, it still tasted fine and satisfied my craving. read more

Always something with this location. There must have not been a manager on the clock because the employees preparing the food orders where doing more talking than trying to get orders filled. At least my order was actually correct this time. read more

Is the bread supposed to be dry ?? Just used a fork for my bread and it crumble. Like really ?? Is this fresh stuff ? I'm glad I had a gift card for it. Wouldn't waste money on it read more

Had the four cheese soufflé Mediterranean egg white sandwich and cinnamon crunch scone...most excellent!!! By far the best panera bread I've been to. Highly recommended. read more

I visit this restaurant frequently and the service is great. The food portions are sizeable, taste great. My favorite is the oatmeal.

it's not the food, its the people that work there. I couldn't get an order right if their lives counted on it. It's a real shame because they have a potential for being a great place to eat. But with the food already over priced, you at least expect the order to be correct. I am sitting here staring at the sandwich that I ordered, that I will not be eating. I ordered a simple plain Chicken Frontega ---instead I got burnt red peppers/guacamole, cilantro, and ?God knows what else thrown on the bread. Wish I could share a picture of it. Disgusting. read more

I like panera and their bacon and cheese soufflés but this store here in Pico never has them. It's barely 9 and Breakfast is served here til 1030. I've been here 3 times and they've never had them. Either I have bad luck or they're under supplied...I won't be back at this Panera a fourth time. read more

This post is for the great customer service from Irene. Walked in for lunch to pick up a tuna sandwich , my daughter's fav!!!! U guys have to try it. Irene was so friendly and helpful. She displayed a genuine charismatic personality. Sooo welcoming. She knew her stuff! Irene, you rock and you made our day , thank you. read more

I'm here now. The line is all the way to the door, the cashier is the only one taking orders. The manager is in the kitchen not aware of the front​ end. The cashier clearly needs help, she looks overwhelmed. read more

As a first time customer, I opted for the online ordering app. After arriving I was shown the pickup section and to my surprise; I had no order ready for pickup. John quickly asked to see my email receipt. In a few minutes he moved the order to the correct day and had a coworker get my order ready. I was in and out of there in less than five minutes. My following visit I entered the correct date and wrong time. John corrected my order and told me "don't worry it happens". A simple comment like that kept me a loyal Panera customer. It assured me that even when I screw up it's handled swiftly and with no embarrassment to the customer. Thank you, John. I hope you receive the recognition you deserve. Since then: 8 orders entered correctly Daniel read more

Came to Panera Bread and got my favorite soup Tomato Creamy Soup, my dinning experince this visit was awful, it's January and it's cold into the 50s they have the damn A/C on, REALLY!!! IT'S FRICKEN COLD OUTSIDE!!!! read more

I love Panera's food, it's my all time favorite. I'm always on the go so I utilize the Panera App and rapid pick up. No matter how far in advance I order it from this location it is never ready. It's extremely frustrating to get there expecting to pick up food and having to wait 10 min every time. read more

I like this location. Most employees are friendly. The bathrooms are decent. It is a decent size location and the sitting areas are comfy. Plus they have free wifi. I like the hazelnut coffee and the variety of teas that they have as well. I usual get the soup bread bowls which is my fav when I come here. Its a good place for samnwiches and the pastrys are good too ... read more

How do they run out of brioche by 10am on Mother's Day and racks of bagels are sold out. Sad

Mess every where..dirty tables full trash cans bad costumer service...better luck next time

I'm so glad to have a Panera near my home! The food and bread is absolutely the best and the place is just clean and that smell of fresh bread being cooked is so amazing. Love coming here for lunch or when I want to take the kids to eat something healthy. read more

This Panera is breaking my heart! I LOVE Panera. I especially love THIS Panera. Dining in is always a great experience, but recently every to-go order has been disappointment. I mean, whatever food they CHOOSE to give me is always great and served with a smile, but ...it's NEVER WHAT I ORDERED. lol Today they offered to combine something to make something else cheaper.. anyways I guess they deleted half my order (after they had repeated it back correctly) and gave me a different soup... uhh what?... I called and they reversed the charge and offered compensation which is completely honorable and appreciated.. but seriously get it together, Panera! I still love you, but I feel like we're slowly growing apart. read more

I don't think a comment is worth for this review. Horrible service and all they can do to make it better is give me a lame pastry that is hard like a rock . read more

I gave them a 2 because the service is bad. Had to wait 20 on my order and then they gave me the wrong meal. I had to wait even longer for a new one. Bunch of slow people working in the back. The only good experience was the cashier. Check your order before you leave the place. read more

Pretty big place. I liked the fact that they had two ordering kiosks so you can order on your own if you wanted to. There are plenty of rooms and even a separate room with tables to study at. Great study location. read more

Although there was a lot of people, Mary was very friendly. The food was great and fresh! Ill definitely be coming back here for lunch!

Great good and pastry options. Staff is always friendly and our orders are usually correct. Very clean and they have free WIFI. Perfect place to study or do homework while eating read more

Panera Bread - Salad Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

Loved it here. Went really early on a cold morning. Has a bowl of chili coffee then the asked me if I wanted to add this pecan roll. The coffee refills are free. I don't do cow's milk asked if they have soy which they did. AWESOME! The staff was extremely friendly (wish I could be that way early in the morning) lol. But this one lady in all black at the register was not. Think I was told she was a catering lady or something. Nevertheless, if you behind the counter PLAY NICE "lady in all black". When in the area I would definitely visit again. Btw if your first time to Panera or just haven't visited a location in awhile like me take a look at a take home menu first before getting in line. The list is huge. This place is good for calm kinder and up. Panera Bread open one near central Los Angeles more east btw :-). Slauson & Central Ave has a new shopping center development going on as I type this hint hint. Happy eating. read more

Panera Bread - Wall near front entrance/exit - Salad Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

See all

Second time and even worse experience. Ordered a Fuji Apple salad and it came with no chicken. Ordered an apple they brought me a baguette. Last time I ordered the exact same salad and they ofcourse got it wrong again. Not coming back rather drive to the one in Lakewood. read more

First and last time i come here. Came at lunch time. Worst. Idea. Ever. Orders were backed up at least 45 minutes. They don't tell you that when you order.... I'm not all about instant gratification but this is nuts. read more

Love Panera. They have a new "power" salad menu. If it comes with eggs though sometimes they forget to dice it for you.

This review isn't necessarily for the Pico location although it is the one I have been stopping at all month, this review is to give credit to Panera Bread for offering a bonus with a "club card" that is truly appreciated - free coffee each day for the month of April!! Typically Panera is my weekend routine when I have more time but this bonus or gift has motivated me to stop each day at Pico Rivera and ask for my free coffee. The staff have been friendly and helpful and Panera Bread has truly rewarded me with something that I have made use of daily and I am very appreciative!! Thank you Panera! read more

We didn't know where to go eat and we found this Panera Bread and oh what a great customer service thanks to a young man named Daniel. We live about 70miles from here but we will come back to this location every time we're in the area. Thanks Daniel! Ps. Panera should hire more people like him read more

I don't usually go to Panera but i might start going if every employee is as funny and nice as a girl in the front. I think her name is Kailen or kaylen. Regardless she was very attentive and made the order perfect. read more

My boyfriend and I love coming to Panera. Our food is always fresh. The service is usually on point. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting. The lines seem to move rather quickly and your food comes out pretty fast. Definitely going to keep coming here for lunch or even dinner. The Sierra turkey sandwich with iced green tea is my go to meal. read more

First time here and it was so good! They have a variety of soups, sandwiches, pasta, flatbread and they even have desserts yuuumy!! I was not dissapointed read more

I usually come to this location after work. Their sandwiches and chips are really good. Place is always clean and not noisy, plus their staff is very courteous and they ask how is your food. Plenty of parking around since it is inside the plaza. read more
