Panera is one of my favorite places to stop, especially when I don't know the area! Solid. They have plenty of seating inside (usually), and parking is relatively easy to find. It does get busy during the lunch rush, but the line moves quickly, and the staff does a great job. Be sure to sign up for the Panera Rewards program, it's definitely worth it for the discounts and free treats. I especially love their cookies, scones, and sandwiches. The soups and salads are always filling. Everything is fresh, and there's a great variety whether you're looking for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a quick snack. read more

Soooo good! :) I stopped in after work to grab a quick sandwich. I did place the order on the app, for pickup. I didn't want to have to wait. The app was a good plan and I walked right up and found my order was ready by the pickup area. My sandwich was very fresh. All of the veggies were tasty! I loved the avocado and pesto sauce added to my sandwich. That is the ticket! 10/10 veggie sandwich! I also ordered a Mac and cheese. Creamy, cheesy goodness. Loved it. 10/10 Ambiance was not too crowded. There were some people, but it wasn't busy. I wish pricing was cheaper for Panera. It's expensive. I use the app for deals. read more

I came here for another pickup and it was a success. I think they changed the process where your order isn't immediately placed on the pickup rack to prevent theft. Works for me! A couple of years ago, I had a large order for pick up and I saw this lady grab a bag off the rack without even looking at the name on the order. It was very suspicious and I knew in my heart she stole someone's order. It ended up being mine. I hope karma has found her way to her. I can only hope. That incident hasn't stopped me from going here, but I'll be diligent and speak up if I notice something suspicious. The food is prepared on time and accurately. read more

After ordering my meal I inquired about my drink and Sandy the assistant manager said I will receive my Passion fruit energy drink at the end with my order. Then a seemingly nice young worker calls my name and upon receipt of my order still no drink and no extra order of French bread, just a small extra side in the bag. I told the young girl I wanted a large piece of bread not a side order and she says oh, don't worry I will fix this for you. So, she gives me the bread I had in mind, and I finally get my beverage from Sandy. I am sitting down waiting for my ride home and I can hear them talking about me. First the manager was rude to me, then rude to her young associate for giving me a whole bread, then they both began to speak about me negatively, going as far as saying "I don't know why people like that come here". The manager was saying she heard when I ordered, and I should have said a loaf of bread and that I should have known there was a.discrepamcy with my order because the difference in cost of a side bread versus a whole bread. Here's the thing people of Panera Bread cafe #601255 at 8pm on 3/29/26 order no. 187325 it was not my idea to get a complimentary bread. I did not suggest that. I could have went back to the register, I paid with money, I was not a homeless degenerate person begging for food without money. I did not touch any of my food and got a refund of $19 and let them know they were very insulting and left. Their receipt says Accuracy Matters, who's accuracy matters? read more

Came here to meet a friend and this was a great location. There was plenty of seating and booths, and a perfect place to go if you want to get some work done.

Dropped by to get my unlimited sip club beverage today. Service was ok. I did the mobile order and waited for it at the counter. On the screen it said it was ready and when I waited there the staff said I had took it already. ‍ anyways I told her my order again and she was nice enough to give me another cup. Overall interior was clean and coffee always filled and piping hot. There are restrooms as well but you need an entry code (which can be found on the receipt) read more

They don't have a diverse staff. The atmosphere is off, that don't provide a kind and welcoming energy. It was disgusting that one off the associates here was coughing without wearing a mask while being near the food. Does it seem safe to eat here? The answer is no. read more

I wanted to try the new Croque Monsieur croissant sandwich and it did not disappoint, except that it went far to fast and seemed small for the price 11$. Overall it is quite good and worth a try.

I have been visiting Panera more and more now that I signed up for their Sip club which is great to get various drinks every couple hours during the day. Great as I travel around a lot. First time coming to this location, very clean and nice. The people preparing the food were very nice, I was put off a bit when I believe a Manager approached me and asked why I was taking pictures, I responded "For Yelp" which usually ends it, but she continued and said I need to let them know before taking pictures as it is private property. Just kind of felt a bit rudish, but I guess I understand. Been getting the Green Goddess Cobb salad on most visits and this visit. It is very good, fresh and you can customize how you like it, removing or adding ingredients, I like it very much. You always get a side or your choice and since I have the Sip club, my drink is free. I do really like Panera and the fresh healthier options, the one draw back is that it can be quite expensive overall without promos or other discounts. So I always try to find a discount to save some money and the Sip club helps with that. Enjoy! read more

I ordered a Mediterranean sandwich and requested to add turkey lunch meat. The sandwich was VERY poorly built. It lacked in all the Ingredients and looked like a 5 year old put it together. To top it off they did not place any turkey lunch meat. My order was a delivery. When my lunch break came around I was severely disappointed that I was not provided with the meal I payed for. This is the second time I experienced a big disappointment in the quality and accuracy of my order. This is one of the worse Paneras I have ordered food from. read more

I'd stopped going here for a long while because their food and menu had changed. And the employees always seemed cranky. After a few years I finally returned a month ago, and oh my gosh everything is SO delicious now. I'm absolutely loving their menu, and the employees are always nice, helpful, quick, just overall a pleasant experience. I'm glad I returned and can enjoy their food again. I'd recommend this location for sure. read more

Worst ever. Been here 20 minutes. No food. Their board says they have our order--not even "prepping it". I ordered tomato soup and grilled cheese!!!!!! Unbelievable. 28 minutes--still not "prepping" our food. 38 minutes. No food TOOK 45 MINUTES. THIS PLACE SUCKS read more

I go to this location a few times a month. Today I went in and the person who took my order was very nice. I believe their name is Misty. While eating lunch I heard someone at the register say loudly say, "Step off!" I looked over and saw one of the managers (Gloria) yelling at the person who took our order. She did this with a whole line of people waiting to order. This is so unprofessional! Gloria never looks happy and is not friendly to customers. Later Gloria came out to collect the dishes under the trash bins and was slamming them around VERY loudly! I saw the person who took our order leaving and they did not look happy. I'm assuming Gloria had something to do with that. Overall our lunch wasn't a nice experience today. read more

I wish it was good... but it is just not. It's not the basis of the franchise but the quality of the food at this location. Management is clearly not doing their job well to train or control the product going out. I love the Panera in Murrieta, and this one is nothing like it. They "smash" every sandwich they make. A couple of the sandwiches they make with a different bread than the rest of the franchise, which is odd. So you never know what you are going to get when you order. I have tried this location for months now... The quality is terrible. This is supposed to be an egg, bacon sandwich on a croissant. They smashed the croissant so badly it's flat and total sandwich size was about 3"x4", I'm being gracious. What a rip off. I truly hope they improve, I want to continue to go here out of convenience. Fingers crossed!! read more

Great service, pretty pricey, my sandwich was pretty basic for almost $8 and it wasn't impressive albeit very filling. Their papaya green tea was yummy and refreshing. The establishment itself was big and had a nice waiting area for pick up orders, I really liked that you could track the progress of your order on the screen. Would be back if in the area to try something new, like lunch, but wouldn't drive out of the way. read more

Have all outlets taken out or covered. I left!! Needed to do some work and get coffee and food, not will not meet that need.

It's pretty known what to expect from Panera's menu however this location is extremely understaffed. Ordered for a party of four and was told over 30 minute wait. Restaurant itself not that busy so probably GrubHub online type orders. That being said every time I encounter employee Sandy she makes me feel like I am a big inconvenience instead of a customer. Service could definitely improve at this location. read more

We had a really great experience! The food was really fresh! My family had soups, salads, and sandwiches and we were all remarking how good they were. One of the staff named Eddie was really helpful and sweet, made our day. We will be back soon! read more

It took me four years to return with my wife to eat at Panera Bread, albeit she has returned several times since then. I must admit that I now have to raise the rating from 3 to 4 stars. I had their turkey and bacon sandwich (not sure what the name is they give it) and a side salad. This sandwich was well prepared and easy on the eyes (see photos). The taste was really, really, good, which I was surprised about. The salad was crisp and tasty as well. I truly enjoyed my meal. We also bought a pastry to share, which was also pretty good. I reminded my wife that I was not a big fan of the place, but changed my mind if this is how they now rolled, that I would join her here again in the future with no qualms and that I needed to raise the review rating I had slapped upon them. Fast forward 2 weeks and she asked if I had taken care of the rating (oops, no), thus here I am falling on the sword. The only difference I notice in their operation is that you now have to retrieve your own order at the service window when they call your name. No more wait service at all, I presume. The restroom was still clean too, BTW. read more

Today is July 16, 2025. This is my first time at this Panera Bread. The service when you walk in was friendly by the young gentleman at the register. But that's where my good experience ended. I ordered the strawberry poppyseed chicken salad, you would think you really dont have to spend alot of time of putting this meal together. The time was 15 minutes, they forgot the chicken and salad dressing, I had to go back several times to the "cook" he was not very happy as though I was the one that made these mistakes for an $18 salad was not worth it. I will not be back here. Btw...the place was pretty empty of customers that should have given me a clue when I walked in. read more

I go there at least once a day 7 days a week for coffee and snacks. For the last couple of months it has consistently been sub par. iCE machine for self serve down. Which means if you want ice in your beverage you must ask someone behind the counter. They are usually hustling their butts back there working on lunch orders so they don't see you there waiting to get your cup filled with ice. The syrup in the soda machine empty, No coffee ready during the peak times. You'd think the manager would anticipate the busy times when people are limited for time during their lunch break. Bathrooms are a mess. Expect the floors to be wet if you you to the Temecula location. And this is at 10 am not peak times. The trash can outside the front doors is always spilling over. If you've been to this location I'm sure you've seen the famous erupting trash can. I like Panera I just wish they would tighten up their store a bit. I've included some pics taken today at 10:30am read more

I'm not surprised this place has 2.9 stars. The staff is absolutely rude, my family and i went to grab a quick coffee and sweet treat however the staff was sure to tell us they closed in an hour( which we were fully aware). They told us this multiple times and were even speaking loudly that they were closing soon. This place is also super dirty as it looks like it has not been vacuumed in a while. Will not return. read more

One of the worst customer service experiences I've had in a long time--and all over a missing drink. I placed a delivery order with this Panera because I wasn't feeling well and didn't have the energy to leave the house. I'm a Sip Club member and was really looking forward to my drink to help me take my medicine (caffeine helps it work better). The sandwich and cookie arrived--but the drink was missing. Okay. Mistakes happen. So I called the store. I was placed on hold twice, for over 5 minutes each time. When I finally spoke to someone and explained the issue, she said "Well, the driver took the drink when they left here." As if that was supposed to resolve anything. I repeated--politely--that I did not receive the drink. I don't care what the driver did; it didn't make it to my door. There was no delivery photo, no text or notification confirming drop-off--none of the usual third-party app procedures. I was passed between three different employees, all giving me the same unhelpful line: that the drink "left the store." Not one person acknowledged the obvious--that I paid for delivery and my full order was not delivered. Then, instead of offering any real solution--like sending someone to drop off the drink (I live two minutes away) or crediting my Sip Club or reaching out to the third-party delivery service--the last employee got noticeably irritated with me and said she'd "just refund the whole order so we don't have to worry about it." She was clearly annoyed and dismissive, and hung up with a snippy "you're welcome" like I'd wasted her time. What's worse? I've had Panera fix this before. At a different location, a manager actually brought the missing item themselves. It was thoughtful, kind, and simple. Not here. Instead, I was treated like a burden--for simply asking to receive what I ordered. I've been a loyal customer. I've ordered from this Panera many times. But today I was made to feel like I was lying or making a big deal over "just a drink"--when that drink was literally the reason I ordered in the first place. And being made to feel like I was inconveniencing them for their own error? Absolutely unacceptable. Do better, Panera. read more

Another hidden yet convenient Panera location in the Temecula area. The first time I saw all the charge drinks behind the counter, also the first time I witnessed a long line of people ordering instead of using the kiosk. If you get to your order at the tablet, you can skip the line and go straight to pickup. I finally get to try the Blood Orange one, tasted terrible like cough syrup mixed with vitamin water, a chalky flavor maybe because it is sugar free, big mistake, I can't blame them after the incident, hopefully it will pick up again in the future and bring back the old energy drinks. read more

Ok. The food is pretty good, not great, but EX.PEN.SIVE!!! I got the pick 2 soup and salad and thought I would have leftovers based on the $18.09 price tag. I was shocked at the portion size when I got it. A very small side salad, and a small cup of soup. It came with a small apple and a medium drink, but $18.00? I'll go to a Panera if no other options are around, but it won't be my "go to" by any means. read more

I usually love eating here and the food has always been above par. However, today on my visit, me and my girlfriend decided to grab lunch for a picnic. The food inside the bag was completely destroyed and out of order. Half of the sandwich wasn't even in the bag and tossed in there unwrapped. The sandwich was BARELY filled with anything for the $10 I payed for this sandwich. Not only that, but it wasn't even dressed like somebody would want to eat it. The taste was honestly a 2/10 compared to other visits I've had. Really disappointed with the care of our food. Wish I could've gotten a refund for my money. read more

Always have an amazing experience at Panera and just have to share it. They have a wide variety of options and I really hope they bring back the jalapeño bagels. Friendly staff and great customer service. The Sip Club membership is awesome, game changer - whether it's coffee to justo start my morning, refreshing green tea for an afternoon pick me up or their amazing lemonade. I am always on the go as a realtor and with many locations available it's a great place to meet clients - quiet enough for a good conversation, either welcoming vibe that makes everyone feel comfortable. read more

Went to Panera Bread but the one in Tenecula. Why do people eat here. It was very expensive with barely any food. The Asian salad I had was very small for what they said is whole. The sandwich my hubby had was so tiny with barely any meat on hard bread and the chicken noodle soup he had tasted just like healthy choice out of the can. No welcome as you walk in and there at the counter the one lady walked by me twice as I was looking at the menu no hi May I help you. We will definitely not be back here. Is French Valley Panera Bread any different ? read more
