Panera Bread in Chico

For the prices, they should make sure they are making a sandwich right. Usually a really good place, but the last 2 times, they have messed up my sandwich. It is supposed to have cheese and chicken also. Its a $14 ham sandwich instead.

New to Panera love the atmosphere in the place. I didnt try the food but my daughter was hungry and so she wanted to try Panera Bread and she liked it. She ordered the flatbread cheese pizza, chicken noodle soup and mango smoothie. This Panera Bread cafe is in the Chico Square Marketplace. It was 730ish pm when ordered and they close at 9 the dining area/seating place was not clean which was disappointing because we dined in probably short staffed or something but we dined in anyway. The customer service was great they were very friendly and had good vibes you know...anyway thank you Panera my daughter enjoyed the food!😊👏

Honestly, panera is very hit and miss. There are times where the food is good and I usually am OK afterwards. But then there have been a few times where Ive had their food or coffee and within a few hours was not feeling very well. Also its disappointing how expensive they are and how little portions they give you. Up in Redding, they have a place thats comparable called from the hearth. And I would say the portions and quality of food is little better. I really wish chico would get a from the hearth

The food is really fresh and good. If you havent been to a Pantera for a while, you order on the computers near the front door. Hopefully you wont have any questions as no staff is around . On my order, they were out of chocolate chip cookies. I accepted a substitute rather than have the inconvenience of getting a refund. Now that I know the process of ordering, its not an issue, and if you are under 30 years old, its routine Im sure 😉

Corporate but one of my favorites, it actually earns 5 stars because of its menu. Plenty of healthy choices like salads, interesting sandwiches and beverages (coffee and teas that rivals another chain 🤔, at least in quality) and varied seating arrangements. Good parking, ADA compliant, Yada Yada Yada.

The lady in the drive-through was very rude didn’t respond to anything or listen when we were ordering. For the past month.also been out of almost anything to include bacon bread all of it and it’s been very inconveniencing for everybody. I come here all the time and the past month. I’ve been very disappointing to the point where I feel like I just shouldn’t come back if it is very expensive and I understand that but for the price I’m paying I expect a good customer service and that is not what I’ve been receiving.

This was my second time eating here, and i was kind of not expecting it to be very good. I was surprised though the food was actually really good, they recommended the soup and sandwich because i wanted to try both and i was not disappointed. The soup was delicious and a perfect serving along with the half sandwich. I ordered the broccoli and cheddar along with the chicken avocado sandwich and i couldnt put it down it was done in minutes. The bread was perfectly crunchy on the sandwich and the soup was nice and hot when i got it. The ladies working that day were very nice and explained the menu to me because i honestly had no clue about what i was going to order. The atmosphere is very quiet and dark and just overall nice to eat in. They have a cute little fireplace inside and a cool setup for ordering at machines.

I ordered a bowl of soup (served in a carboard cup) and half sandwich on white bread. Total came to 17.00!! I will probably not be going back as there are so many cheaper places to eat. At Chillis, you can get a large cheeseburger, fries, salad or soup (served in real dining ware), and drink for 10.99. Why would i spend more for so much less?

So over priced! My other half ordered us salads for lunch, knowing how huge a typical restaurant salad is I asked for a half size one. At over 7$ I received a tiny side salad that was one handful of lettuce, a sprinkle of parmesean cheese and a few croutons with a tiny cup of dressing and an apple on the side. No meat, not a salad that takes more than 10 seconds to throw together. The ingredients were fresh. I know prices are rising but next time Ill just pay the same price and get a seafood Louie salad thats literally 3 times the size from Raleys.

Some drive thru employees are great. Others treat the customer like a burden, which makes it difficult to want to go there. Dependable food, but shoddy customer service.
