I just want to let the GM or whoever reads these, that your counter staff provides excellent customer service. I come here almost every Sunday afternoon to work on homework. The ladies who take my order and prepare my food are awesome and always very nice and friendly. I didn't ask their names because I didn't want to be nosy. But whoever you have managing and work Sunday afternoons are wonderful. I've overheard customers complaining because they might be running a little behind during a rush but ignore those comments, they are people who don't know how hard food service people work and this place goes above and beyond providing a great dining experience! read more

Paneras are great in general for healthy and veggie-friendly food. I love their breakfast offerings these days especially-- a breakfast sammy on brioche really can't be beat! But this location not only got my order wrong *twice,* but then chastised me to "be more careful when I ordered." I ordered on one of the kiosks, though, and when they showed me the printout it was exactly what I thought I had ordered. It was frustrating, and no one apologized for scolding me, and it made our quick breakfast quite a bit longer. read more

My place to go if I ever forget my lunch at home or feeling like something different! Staff is very nice. Clean location. Can get pretty packed during lunch time. Parking can be a little difficult, but manageable. I'm obssesed with the Poppyseed with Chicken Salad (I usually get the full size, no poppyseed dressing, no pecans, extra chicken $1.79 extra, most of the time no side, but if it's a workout day, I can fit the macros of Bread on the side) Overall, a good Panera. I'll keep coming back. read more

Starbucks blames crowded stores for lack of increased growth and profits - people like me dont want to elbow my way through a crowd for a coffee and baked good. Panera is peaceful, workers polite, interior warm and inviting. I think it costs a dollar or two more than my average coffee/pastry run at Starbucks but thats great - i think it keeps some cheapskates away. The efficiency at these places is also incredible. If theres a line at the counter there is a self serve order kiosk where you log in, get your buzzer, grab a self serve cup.

A typical Panera. Honestly, all Panera's are the same. Some might say it's "over priced hospital food" but I've always really liked eating here. I always enjoy their seasonal menus, especially during the fall time. Im really liking their new selection of flatbreads, since it's not exactly a pizza and a lot lighter. I'm also considering joining their monthly coffee subscription... I'll definitely be looking into that more. read more

I love their muffies!!!! Muffies are muffin tops that are so yummy. I love the pumpkin flavor but the chocolate chip is not bad at all.... especially when you warm it up in the microwave and the chocolate chips get all gooey and yummy. Ooh la la. Other than the muffies I think I've only tried their Napa Almond Chicken Salad. It's actually a sandwich with chicken, almonds, grapes, and some kind of a sweet dressing. The cashier asked if I wanted apples or chips with my sandwich and, of course, I chose the chips. Yuck! Maybe I should've picked apples instead! Their chips are bland and gross and I did not like it at all. There are a lot of seats inside and outside Panera Bread. It's mostly quiet. There are a lot of people with laptops and I've seen some people reading books. It's comfortable to eat here by yourself or with a bunch of your friends or family. read more

Oh my. I drove from Oakland to catch a flight out of San Jose. Dinner time and I am in need of a nice warm meal. Off to Panera on Coleman near the airport. A hot bowl of creamy chicken soup with wild rice and a melty grilled cheese with tomato! Sounds great to take back to the hotel eat and relax ...NOT. The soup was watery not creamy - pretty good taste but too watery not creamy. The sandwich was thick soggy bread and I had to wear glasses to fine the cheese. The tomato on the sandwich was the ends with the core cut out - not a pretty slice. Come on Panera - I travel for work and want to think I can get consistent delish food at any Panera- apparently not! read more

Lines aren't as long per the pandemic, so that is on par with most places. I usually don't go to Panera Bread because of the long lines, wait time and prices. Since the first two items are currently not an issue, with prices rising in general, the prices here haven't increased (thankfully) and honestly I forgot how fresh + tasty the food. WTV issues with customer service were in the past -- that now seems to be fixed. The young manager is doing the best he can in a challenging staffing environment and the general staff is kind, courteous and respectful overall. Keep Up the Good Work. read more

I had chosen the frontega chicken panini with chicken noodle soup and a French baguette which were all tasty and filled me up nicely. I would totally come back and try other sandwiches here and the place is very relaxing. Great music, great atmosphere, and I even purchased a gift card for a friend of mines afterwards. read more

Been here before. Never bothered to review the place. Why not? No Dutch Crunch bread! That's why! My first visit here a while back wasn't really all that. A big meh! A few days ago we decided to give it another go and this time we decided to forego the Dutch Crunch drama. Ordered the bowl of soup in Cheese and Broccoli. Company had the half sandwich and some soup. And decided to ask: "do you carry the Dutch Crunch bread? " of course not! The cashier looked puzzled and suspiciously looked like he has never heard of that darn bread! The experience was much better this time because we lowered our expectations and just came for the basics. So there! In fairness the staff was great happy people.

We go to many of the Panera locations in the Bay. Coleman stands out among them but not in a good way. The service is always decent but it ends there. The store is dirty and the bathrooms look like something out of a gas station. We have the drink subscription and the drinks here are very cloudy like there's something wrong with the water they use. I'm guessing it's just very dirty unfiltered tap water mixed into the teas. Other locations don't have this issue. Lots of homeless come in & steal ppls food & help themselves to free drinks. You can't even relax for a meal when you have to be worried about becoming a victim. Hope they turn things around. read more

A couple of friends and I had lunch at Panera on Sunday. Parking was a breeze, ordering went quickly, food was brought out to the table, and employees even cleared our plates as we finished. I don't remember having table service the last time I came. Maybe that is a new service. Anyway, I had the bacon/spinach and artichoke/spinach souffles. You know, I found a copycat recipe online and it turned out okay, but not as good as actually coming to Panera and getting the original. One friend got the BBQ chicken salad and French onion soup combo, and the other tried the shrimp salad roll w/Summer corn chowder. Everyone enjoyed their food. I don't usually come to this location, as there is a Panera closer to my house, but our experience the other day was enjoyable. Thanks Coleman Panera. read more

I can't even count how many Panera Breads I've been to in so many different cities & states because that's how much I love it. This location is definitely in the lead of being the worst location I've ever been to. The employees strongly lack good customer service. I asked one employee if she had extra masks for my bf & I, she sighed then eventually came back with them as I was looking at the menu/ordering with the cashier & she rudely interrupted me saying "can you put them on? That's clearly why I gave them to you" as she rolled her eyes and walked away. We received our order & I realized that they didn't give me the right cream cheese so I approached the counter to ask for the correct one & one employee instantly shut me down when I showed it to them by saying "um yes? That's the only one we have" with the most annoyed look on her face. Apart from how impolite the staff were, the food was horribly made. My bagel was over toasted & slightly burnt while my bf's sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich lacked taste & reminded us of cafeteria food. Not to mention, the area by the soda machine was filled with gnats. For anyone thinking to stop here, run out - do NOT walk. read more

We got the funk salad and kombucha. We didn't order a lot because we wanted to try the place. When we got to our table, it was near the door. Our funk salad came and it was hefty mf. It was a bowl of salad all right. So you know how I said earlier that I don't like vegetarian food? OMG I was amazed. The best salad I've eaten. The vinaigrette was so good; it was citrusy. My salad was cut into small pieces so it wasn't big that I need to cut it. The sweet potato was sauteed. The princess sauerkraut was so good. I don't like sauerkraut at all but it was divine. I never tried kombucha because I thought it was dirt tea. I was wrong. It has the fermented taste and I never knew. After trying it, it's not something I would order again. I liked how I was eating "healthy" food after I ate bad yesterday. I don't have that bad bloated feeling. It's very wheelchair friendly and restroom is unisex. The restroom is clean. The establishment is clean. I would go here again if I have a vegetarian visitor. This place rocks!
