Panera Bread in La Verne

Experience with this chain could be hit and miss, often miss. I am a big fan of baguettes, but the quality could be inconsistent among different locations. Today, I had one of the best baked ones: crunchy and textured outside and soft inside. The coffee came out great, balanced in its thickness and thinness, with an ideal temperature. I understand that we all have our bad hair days, just like their kitchen crew. When a simple item is made right, it sets the right tone for ones day. They definitely deserve more stars, at least for today!

Just signed up for free 2 month trial of the unlimited sip club. I stopped in today to try the agave lemonade. It taste delicious and is very refreshing

The location is it a good spot with plenty of seating on the inside and outside. Food is as expected - fresh and good quality. Service was as expected as well. Overall, a panera bread location that is excellent.

Love coming here and getting either the tomato soup or Mac and Cheese with my chicken BBQ sandwich on the You Pick 2. Plus, being a member I get a free drink. The free drink renews every 2 hours, so you can get more then 1 drink a day as Im always on the road. I would say the sandwich is pretty small based on the cost of the meal.

The atmosphere was messy. The food took longer than expected. The green smoothie was no good. You couldn’t really drink because they closed the lids too tight. The straws sucked because you couldn’t really drink. The sandwich was raw. Other than that the employees were really nice. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Really really nice employees. They seem genuine. Not fake. They take time and listen. My boyfriend has always disliked Panera then one day I wanted it and bought him a sandwich. He’s veggie. The worker/server/cashier helped put together a sandwich leaving out the chicken and now guess who wants this sandwich constantly 😆 Men, I swear, big babies til you show them you can alter ever so slightly to appease.

Great people...NOT great food. CEASAR salad not Ceasar! Oil &vinegar. Ask for tip with NO service???Way expensive for what you get. Bowl of lettuce with tasteless chicken slices chopped up should not cost this much. Rule in the restaurant business is triple the cost.Mac & cheese served with a spoon?Not a repeat for me. Not good value for what you get. Nothing is made fresh here folks...its all hype, you can taste the preserves in there sliced chicken...totally nasty and certainly NOT FRESH!

Terrible customer service! Especially, the manager, Danielle, is very rude and has no idea how to deal with customers. I never came across such a bad attitude towards the customers, and I go to Panera a lot. I have a subscription for the drinks, but she did not let me have it because they were closed, but I had already ordered it through self-checkout. I honestly felt discriminated at this location.

Used to live next to this location for years, was shocked at change upon visit.Food is okay, charge way too much for what you get, food options are extremely low. Staff are eh, imagine this is just a means to an end for most working here. Menu has changed, feels like they got rid of half the stuff. Seems like you have to use the kiosks. Food quality barely seems to meet the price. Plenty of dedicated parking. Entrance, parking, kiosks, restrooms and seating are all accessible.So imagine a nice mall, with a lot of stores, plenty of customers, strong signs that it will be open for the next 5 years. Now you come back 5 years later and half the stores are closed, the mall looks dated, like the carpet, walls, tables and chairs need a refresh but there is no budget for that. This is what I see here, if all Paneras are in this shape the brand goes bankrupt in under 3 years. Best guess everyone was working from home at this location and they didnt buy a thing while they were here.

This Panera is one of the worst locations. Almost every time I order, they are out of ingredients. Sometimes it minor and is just a hassle to adjust the order. Other times they are out of basic things, like tortilla trips or a certain type of bread.Today, they were out of avocados, no biggie. But they were also out of romaine lettuce! Seriously? How is that possible?
