It's ok, My favorite item is the bacon, Turkey, avocado sandwich. They have a pick two option, that's pretty nice but, everything is so pricey. The staff are on the ball and friendly. read more

The food was really good. We haven't eaten at Panera in a long time. It was a nice surprise.

I came here once to grab some soup togo. The staff was very nice helping me place my order. I waited and my food came out fairly quickly with utensils without having to ask. Parking is shared with lots of other stores but there is plenty around. read more

The food was delicious and the ambiance mellow. Perfect for today's rainy weather. Irene helped us at the register and was so helpful and nice! read more

I don't know who took our order last night but she was an older woman with green eyes. She was so rude to us. My god, this is the only Panera near us and that's the only reason we come. Always homeless in the restaurant. read more

It's a Panera, their food isn't my favorite, but we came to this location with a group. From the moment that we walked in, the wait to order took a while. We saw their new option to order via credit card on their tablets, but had some questions about menu items so opted to line up. Our cashier wasn't really knowledgeable about the menu because she had no idea what the pasta dish was asking about contained (even after reading the generic description). The bread that comes with your meal was so hard and inedible. Two things worth mentioning: 1) their iced tea selection never disappoints 2) you can add a cookie to your meal for an extra $1 (not after they ring you up) This particular Panera is in a busy complex. Parking isn't impossible, but you probably won't find a close parking spot. Yelp 100 Challenge - 96 of 100 read more

I'm a fan of Panera Bread and this location. I don't go here often because it is a little more than I want to pay for a simple lunch, but the seating arrangement and the little fireplace are nice and cozy every once in a while. The employees have always said hi or welcome when I walk through the door. Although they may be a little slow at times (especially with to go orders, dang!) and they seem to always forget to put bacon on my husband's usual extra charge (because of the bacon) grilled cheese, they always seem to make up for it with a friendly attitude. The tables are always wiped down quickly and the floor is usually clear of trash and food. My picks tend to be good comfort food. I recommend their broccoli cheddar soup. I'm not crazy about the baguette that goes alongside it, though. I'm just not a bread person is all. I just split that up for my dogs at home. No food is wasted in my house or through my purchases! (Well, usually.) The mac & cheese is also a good go to option. The sandwiches are okay, especially if you do a half and half on a soup or salad. One time they gave me a free mango smoothie, but I wasn't crazy about it at all. I like their regular brewed iced tea. The fill-it-yourself refreshments are in an odd place and the first time you visit there they don't tell you exactly where that is. If you don't like the boxed organic milk, just asked for a glass of regular milk. Sometimes they don't fill it all the way to the top, so I say "Fill 'er up all the way please!" Milk's expensive these days! We use the Panera rewards card and get a free pastry after a few trips there. The cinnamon crunch scone is the only one I've tried, but it was so good. Restrooms are usually clean. There is free WIFI, but I've never used it on a laptop... Can't wait to try a morning bagel here! Review #227 read more

This Panera SHOULD get 5-Stars, however..... 1) They don't toast your bagels, instead the lady told me to put mine in the microwave :( 2) Panera locations across Southern California (for the past 3-years at least) have the worse plastic lids. We as customers are consistantly struggling with, they seem to be just a millimeter off in size, and this NEEDS to be fixed. 3) Their table aren't checked for stability so many of them rock back & fourth and it becomes annoying. Panera Corporation should focus on these simple but important issues that I mentioned above as it all affect the customer experience. read more

I ordered the half and half with a bowl of soup instead of a cup to go. I've ordered it several times before with a cup of soup and thought it wasn't enough. Well, I won't be doing it again! The cup and the bowl are the same size! The bowl is a higher price, but you still get a cup. Either they don't know the difference or you just get screwed because it was to go. read more

Don't come to this location looking for sweets or French bread for your soup because this location won't have any even if you come early at 8:00 pm 02-03-2023. Management need more knowledge of how to treat Panera bread customers. This manager should know how to represent Panera bread and do the right thing when she had fresh baked sweets coming out of the oven . But she couldn't sell it to me because it was for tomorrow . (Stupid right) Panera bread lost another customer for stupid answers, and solutions for having pre-grade managers read more

This location is bad. Sunday evening, idk why people like Panera so much, this location is very understaffed for a busy weekend I feel horrible for the employees trying to rush orders to nasty customers that hover & look over the counter. Sketchy people come in to charge devices & don't buy anything. Food is ok but really overpriced. Only 2 people serving food & 1 alternating the counter & food serving. read more

Order from the table or on the app for pickup. The restaurant is always clean. The drinks from the dispensers are really good. Those drinks make my meal special. The small chocolate chip cookies are good. Try the tomato soup and grilled cheese, it's a classic. I'm not a fan of the pizza as a meal but I like them as a snacks. The coffee is excellent. Always fresh. The bagels are fresh in the morning. No need to toast. read more

My husband just went in to pickup a salad he had ordered. With this pandemic going on we are all erie to go out and get food. On the Panera Bread window it has a post, MUST WEAR A MASK TO BE SERVED. Well that's Not true, the lady in front of my husband had No mask on and was still being served. SHAME ON YOU! read more

The service at this location in Pico Rivera is very bad. It appears that the employees hate working there. The lady taking my order had a terrible attitude. Then the lady handing out my order was forgetting to include my flat bread pizza. I had to look through the entire bag to make sure my order was complete. The lady apologized 3 or 4 times, as she noticed I was going through my bag before I left the restaurant. I will not be returning to this location anymore. read more

$57 for 2 sandwiches, 3 bites of Mac n cheese, lukewarm French onion soup with no cheese. Horrible!! Ordered the grilled mac n cheese sandwich and what the picture showed compared to the real sandwich was ridiculous. You couldn't even see anything between the pieces of bread. Horrible. Then the rude manager Lori, taking the orders with an attitude scolded a new employee in front of customers. I'm sorry, but I don't like that at all. If she did something incorrectly it's because you didn't train her correctly. Don't ever front an employee in front of customers. Terrible service, terrible food. Third time the food was bad. Last time I go there EVER read more

The coffee/ tea subscription is great because it is at such a competitive price! It is the main reason why I started coming here again. The only issue is, my order is often wrong with drinks. Most times, I just avoid the hassle and take what they give me and I end up getting my coffee elsewhere. I gave it a few times but now it's getting to the point where I'm about to cancel my subscription if I keep getting tea when I ordered coffee, etc. For example, I get the email notification saying my order is ready at the rapid checkout counter. I walk in and my order is not there so the staff looks around and I'm not sure what happens but they usually end up making it from scratch. They sometimes hand it to me and will give me a tea, even though I ordered a coffee and even paid for extra syrup, etc. They let me know that the order they have says tea and they show me the label.. so I pull out my order on the app and the email which has the receipt / details of my order. The problem might just be with the system or app but it gets frustrating. So they make it again and what should have been a quick walk in, walk out, it turns out to be about a 10 minute wait (after the order was placed over 10 minutes prior on the app) I'm not sure if others are having the same issue and maybe they just need to work on updating the app? Or they might just need a better system overall if people are subscribing and coming in on a daily basis and their order is missing from the counter or items missing and such.

Come here a lot, told the new guy at register that they should cover the pastries because there are visibly bugs completely attacking the pastries. He smiled and said "Thanks! Next!" Pretty gross, I understand that it's like that at most Panera's but still. Highly don't recommend any of their pastries and their coffee is always burnt. read more

I've eaten at quite a few Panera's in my time. I was in pico visiting one of my stores across the street. I ordered the goddess Cobb with chicken. Took forever like 15 minutes or more for it to come out. They forgot my chicken as you see in the picture. I had to go up to front and ask, they did give me a cup of chicken but damn. The lady gave me a free cookie for slamming my plate down by accident, but I'm a no carb girl so I'll give it to my daughter. Salad was ok, nothing special. Hibiscus tea was quite week, and the lace was kind of dirty. Didn't even try to use the restroom was to scared! Probably wouldn't come back to this location. Gets pretty busy too. Damn sure wasn't worth almost 15 bucks!!! read more

Second day in a row... they are out of bagels!!!! It's Panera! How do you run out of bagels? Plus there is no soap or paper towels in the ladies room! read more

First time and my last! We came at 645 pm for dinner and they were out of bread. It's a bakery and they're out of bread...that makes no sense! And...at dinner time too! They also only had a few pastries. Everything my husband wanted to try they were out of so his first impression is not good. We ended up ordering a flatbread pizza and I asked for red chili flakes. They do not have those as well. I have heard people rave about this place so maybe my expectations were high I just don't see how they could run out of several different breads such as the sourdough bowls and the baguettes and several pastries. The weather has been so cold lately it doesn't take a rocket scientist in marketing to assume you're most likely going to sell more soup so they should of made more bread! Highly disappointed! read more

I went in the morning to pick up coffee. An assortment of coffee in hazelnut, cinnamon, decaf and regular are available for your options. This store is very clean and it seams that cleanliness is important. The pastries are always so good and fresh. I love walking in because I love to smell the home cook aroma of their soups and fresh bread. Going back to the coffee...it feels like no matter what time of the day the carafe is never empty. I just can't stand when I'm excited to pour coffee and the carafe is empty! And then I have to wait until a fresh pot is brewed! Has that happened to you? The coffee station is similar to other cafe chains. Plenty of sugars and creams to fit your liking is available. I always get the potato bread bowl!! OMG!! The bread is good enough alone but better when you dip it in the potato soup. The soup is steamy hot. Flavor is smothered all over the bread. Talk about carbs but for some reason when I'm eating this bread bowl potato soup, it tastes so good and yummy that I feel it's super healthy! read more

It's been about 2 years since I've ate here and now I remember why. This is a photo of my sons full size grilled cheese sandwich or should I say two sandwiches or 2 burnt bread slices with cheese and an extra 2 overly toasted bread slices. I'm not impressed one bit. Laziest grilled cheese ever. I mean how do you even mess up a grilled cheese?! read more

I usually enjoy Panera. Their food is typically fresh, and delicious. However I ordered through rapid pick up, drove home and as I was about to enjoy my half avocado chicken sandwich I opened it only to be DISGUSTED with what I saw. The avocado they used was old, black, slimy and rotten. It is absolutely absurd that they would still use this avocado. I called customer care and sent the pic. I was informed they would make their regional team aware of it. Point is.... always make sure to check your food quality. Never going to this location again read more

Wow! Irene the cashier was just AWESOME! Exceptional customer service. She was very friendly, offered things that I was just about to order and even did her upsells by offering things at a discount when you buy the soup and sandwich together. Best part was when she asked if I spelled my name with a C or K. I mean it's not that important but little things like that make a difference. I love this place and was even more excited when my order was just right! Thanks Irene! read more

Ordered a chicken Alfredo pasta bowl and a chicken noodle soup. The chicken soup was okay.. It was probably a progresso can.. But my chicken Alfredo was CRAP.. the noodles were hard like if they weren't fully cooked all the way. There was no sauce at all, totally dry. And the chicken?? Well, it was just one big chunk and the fat was still on it. This pic was taken after I kinda shredded the chicken. A ton of butter was used all over. Oh and I can't forget the hard ass bread they expected us to eat. Never will I eat a meal from them again..... But their bagels are amazing! read more

I have been coming to this Panera for a while now and it's pretty legit. So far, this is our favorite Panera. The manager Jessica is super sweet and nice and if there has ever been an issue she always takes care of it . It took some time for them to finally get our orders right but now they're on top of it. Moses, always gets our sandwiches right. I don't really recommend coming during lunch rush hours because you may be waiting awhile. The food is tasty and for the most part fresh and healthy. read more

An OK location of the chain. Free wifi and some power outlets scattered throughout the sprawling location (several different rooms). It's not a bad place to get some work done. Some attention needed to be paid to cleaning, especially in the ladies room. The ladies room requires a code to enter, which is a pain. Food is standard Panera. You get discounts if you have a Panera card, along with special "freebies" for your birthday - so I recommend you sign up for that. Lots of parking. If you're in the area and need a place for an OK lunch and a relatively comfy place to do a little work, this would be acceptable. read more

I placed an app order and 13 minutes later drove to the store. I parked in spot one notified them through the app that I was here and ten minutes later NO ONE SHOWED UP! This is BEYOND acceptable! Trash location. read more

So this is one of the few somewhat healthy options near my work. I usually get the green goddess salad which is great!! All the cookies and other sweets are ok. I have tried a few of the different breakfast choices: soufflé, breakfast sandwich, and the flatbread with egg and cheese. These have not been good, they were dry, and unappetizing, especially the flatbread which was like leather . Also there are many things I do not purchase such as coffee because there are no organic/nondairy options. read more

Completely disappointed and dissatisfied with the Pico Rivera location. On 8/21/21@ approx 8:30pm I had purchased a Cherry/Cheese Danish Ring $9.99 to serve the following morning 8/22. I opened the box and the Danish Ring was hard and Stale!!! I had to make another trip back to the store to return it!!!! I was told I had a $1.00 off any pastry on the rewards program...wasn't given it! In the past 8 months I've had to return 5 incorrect orders!!! NO MORE we're done with Panera read more

Probably the best Panera bread in this area, of course it's the only Panera bread in this area. I love the design of this location because they have a separate back dining room which is great for small meetings and parties. I usually sit back there when I'm studying. Studying here is awesome because I don't have to leave to get something to eat compared to studying at a library, where either you starved or take up 30mins+ getting food plus losing your spot. You can order online and in 5-10 minutes, your food arrives directly to your table! This location is always clean and all the workers are always polite and cheerful! The only down side is that they cannot carry certain items such as certain espresso drinks due to a non compete clause because there is a Starbucks across the way in the same plaza. Anyways, like I said you can reserve the back room for meetings and parties, get this, at no cost! Well no cost to reserve the space (like no deposit required) Each person needs to order min $10 or just do what I did and order a couple of platters... You can reserve the spot for 2-4 hrs. (I've literally seen a tupperware party in there) Being on a budget I had no clue where to hold my rugrat's bday party, and throw in the fact that it's winter and "el Nino" upon us, I wanted my guest having fun yet comfortable, so the park was out of the question. I wasn't expecting a lot of people and other venues were ridiculously expensive (most wanted $200+ for two pizzas and juice boxes for a very limited number of guest before they start charging extra), plus this place allowed me to provide better and healthier food for my guest! So as I was studying here one day, chomping on my sesame bagel, it dawned on me, why not here?! Light bulb! It's great because they allow you to decorate and if I ran out of something (running out of food/beverages is always a concern) I just whip out my phone and order and it gets delivered or if I needed more plates, utensils, etc., they provided it, at no extra cost! Not to mention that after I removed the decoration, they did the rest of the clean up!!! The staff was very accommodating as well as helpful when I was deciding the best food options! (they allowed me to modify and mix up the platter) So have your small get together here, it's practical, convenient and cost efficient! Just reserve and order your food 1-2 days ahead, that's it! FYI, I had like 20 adults and 15 kids read more

Paid about $47.00 for three sandwiches and some Mac n cheese. My brother ordered some sort of steak sandwich and got a skimpy portion on a dry stale piece of bread. He asked the waiter there if this is how much meat they're supposed to add to it he said, "Ya, it's typically that size." It had one and a half slice of salami. Terrible excuse of a sandwich. I usually don't take this much time writing a review but for the amount of money we paid they should provide a better portion. read more
