I was so disappointed with this location.Pretty dirty place, most of the floor and tables had food, no tables were wiped downTheir cinnamon rolls were stale and oily. It’s like they tried to rehydrate them and each roll had about a pound of glaze. That’s besides how lazy the staff is, they served dine in option in to go cups/ containers. I think the only thing that didn’t taste off or just old were the potato chips

As of today, I would say this is one of my favorite Panera breads to come and read. Due to its location, you dont get a lot of foot traffic other than the typical lunch rush. They have plenty of staff currently, so the place is kept pretty clean. There is a girl with blonde hair who frequently takes time to tend to the cleanliness of the place. Theres always ample seating for me as well. The food is acceptable, and the service is very quick even on their busy days/times.

Even with the free delivery, the price is outrageous. Even in person, it is extremely overpriced. I like the steak sandwhich. (Steak and white chedder). However, it is small, and extremely pricey. I customized it, no red onion, crispy onions instead... With extra horseradish. Basically they didnt put any of the customizations so I ended up with just steak, cheese, and horseradish. Obviously I would of preffered the red If there is no alternative. It was my first and last time ever ordering French onion soup. It was so gross, maybe that is personal preference though. The pumpkin muffin was delicious HOWEVER... Worst bagels I have ever bought in my life. Great value is better. I tried every hack in the book to soften them but to no avail. You could use the bagels to assault someone, or break a window, and the cream cheese was bland and tasted like wet nothing. Panera was a big part of my childhood. I remember the fresh bagels, and just feeling so fancy and expensive eating it as a kiddo. They have lowered their standereds and quality significantly, at least at this location.

Positive: big space with plenty of seats both inside and outside. Easy ways to order food. Food are the same as other locations. Slightly bigger area than other surrounding locations like Cerritos and Lakewood which allow this location to have drive-thru as well.Negative: Mens restroom always stinks and toilet bowl is repulsive, and the sink water is too hot, not warm, HOT. Theres probably a knob to control the temp, but its impossible to be located. Regarding the smell of the restroom, this message is not just for the restaurant but also the mens restroom users, please be more considerate in terms controlling your pee spatter and flush after yourself. Thanks

I was worried about the reviews for this particular location, but I have given this location several tries and it has become my favorite Panera location because of their cleanliness, speediness, and friendly service. I have had only good experiences. I would always just go for their green papaya drink ( A MUST TRY) and bagels. I finally decided to order something different. I got myself a pizza . It was delicious and worth trying . I recommend that you download their app. Youll be able to order ahead of time and earn rewards. I hope their breakfast menu is just as delicious as their lunch menu.

Once again, this week Panera Bread has teamed up with our St Linus Church in Norwalk for another fundraising for a good cause. Thank You for their generosity for being a partnership. We ordered a family deal with soups, chicken, turkey sandwiches, bread, and salads Togo. Altogether, it was $30.00 plus taxes, which was a great deal for a family of four. It actually took within 5 minutes, by the time we arrived, the foods were ready for us to pick up. The place was cleaned and organized with very friendly staff. They also practiced the COVID protocol which keeps customers as employees in a safe manner. Since we have not eaten at this place before, the food was excellent and delicious. The sandwiches were outstanding with the right portion, the bread was also soft and fresh. I was happy with the soup thou, it wasn’t salty at all, but was good to eat with the bread. Since this place was located very close to my home, I would definitely stop by again to dine.

I ordered chicken noodle soup to go along with wild rice soup. Double check the chicken noodle soup before leaving the restaurant they may not have the right ratio of solids to broth. I opened it at home and it was 80% broth! I will go to the store and talk to the manager and suggest that they have a better system to ensure that when they scoop up the soup that they get a certain amount of solids and then at the broth after that.

Turkey BLT was very bland and it has BACON. How is that possible? My iced coffee was off in taste very weak. To to top off my experience they didnt have any bagels for sale at 10 am.🙄 Pass and find another spot to eat.
