    Are you kidding me? This little amount of food is supposed to feed my family? I never plan to order out here again.... View pics below. That soup is for a family of four? Come on. I guess it's a spoon and pass. I do like Panera bread for the most part but when we are visiting from out of town. Just expected a little more. Please correct. The Williams family

    2.5 stars. We were in town visiting and since we don't have a panera close to where we moved were excited to eat there again. My food was good (autumn soup) My son's was burnt (mac-n-cheese sandwich) and wilted apple. He was the reason we went there and after he took all the burnt off he did like the sandwich. I was rather disappointed cause I expected better.

    I ordered on-line for pick-up from this location just today. The first thing I noticed when i walked in, was the sour smell that permeated the whole restaurant. I had received an email almost 10 minutes prior stating that my order was ready and would be on the rapid pick-up shelf. It was not. I stopped one of the employees walking by to ask about my order. She was clearly annoyed at my question and told me to give my name at the kitchen window, which I did. The kitchen employee literally tossed my order onto the window counter. I checked the bag and saw that the bread that comes with the meal was missing and asked for it. She insisted that the bread was in the bag. When I repeated that it wasn't, she rudely gestured to give her back the bag. She inspected it, then grudgingly ripped off a piece of bread from the baguette, threw it in the bag and tossed it back on the counter. I paid $13.94 for for a Baja Bowl with Chicken. I admit that I asked to omit a couple of items, but the attached photo is what I received. There was barely any food in the bowl. Not worth nearly $14. The only reason for 2 stars is that what i did get tasted fine. The terrible value added to the poor service and smell of the restaurant are enough that I will not be back.

    I'm probably not the most equipped to give a review, since I only got a drink here, but over $6 for a self-service bev -- y'all must be crazy. I had to take a sneaky little refill, which probably ain't even frowned upon, just to get some value. This is why I stay away from tourist centers, in general.

    Great food, the wait was a bit long, but the food was great. Located near Disneyland and in walking distance, stroller parking was outside, you then order and they will call your name. They had a bunch of seating inside. I ordered the pepperoni melt and it was great l, better than I thought it was going to be. The melt also came with kettle potato chips and a water cup. Everyone ended up enjoying there food, especially the Mac and cheese.

    What can be more magical than the magic Kingdom? How about getting a delicious lunch for a reasonable price right across the street from Disneyland! You already know I'm a big fan of the sip club and getting a value duet for lunch, but I'm an even bigger fan for a place that is clean and comfortable, yet versatile if dining alone or with a large family. Plenty of seating choices here, including long tables and booths. Parking is free and limited, but most people tend to walk here anyway. Simply a comfortable place to enjoy your healthy lunch!

    Went here twice during a visit to California, and the food was great. Their sandwiches and soups are super yummy. The only downfall to our visits here was the service. It seemed like the cashiers were frustrated that we didn't know how the menu or ordering went. It's kind of shocking since they're located near Disney and a bunch of hotels and would have a lot of visitors.

    The neighboring hotel blocks 90% of the parking designated for Panera. Leaving about 8 spots to easily park in. And because the hotel is also blocking the exit to the parking, it forces people to need to drive the wrong way to get out of the lot. It is a very unsafe situation. Only go here if you plan on walking there.

    We stayed a week at the Fairfield Inn right behind Panera. We ate at Panera a couple of times and they were on point. The kids loved the pizza, the adults loved the half and half combo's. My favorite is the tomato soup and cream of broccoli soup. The mac and cheese was great. The staff was very courteous and worked well under pressure as they were busy all the time. We didn't have to wait long for our order. A+++

    I truly enjoyed my Turkey sandwich, my French Onion soup did not have cheese and the Vanilla Cinnamon roll was very dry and not that much icing, was expecting it to be gooey…

    This is a decent alternative to other options right across the street from Disneyland. Every time I've been there for dinner it was almost empty. Service was fast and efficient. Also healthier food after eating junk food all day long at Disneyland.

    Lots of staff working but slowest service I've ever experienced. Ordered a bagel, Waited 10 minutes and then they told me they didn't have any left! They gave me a plain baguette instead, and then proceeded to also give me the wrong cream cheese! This place couldn't be any worse if they tried! Avoid if you value your time and want the correct food!!!

    Food is not worth the price. Small panini or sandwiches for high price. Caesar salade was a small container with lettuce. chicken and bread! The publish Pick two combo, but it's just pick 2 and we will charge you for both. It's not a deal but published like one. Kids meal is not worth the price. A small toated bread and a yogurt or an apple, or bread for nearly $8. Service is very unprofessional. Unmotivated staff who do not help a customer or even great a customer. Looks like forced to work, underpaid, or overworked. If you ask them anything, they had to find energy to reply you. Sad! Looked like a nice place. Wasn't really busy. Napkins were empty. Very disappointed. Thr chain might not care about my review but if you are thinking for eating here check the menu and prices well.

    First time here, the place wasn’t bad but my order wasn’t the best in the presentation, the food was good. I was expecting more, and to say the least I was really disappointed for it to be $13 + .The bread that came with the broccoli with Mac and cheese wasn’t available and they have my this bread which was ok but the portion of my food was so small, Bread was just thrown into the bag. Could eat it in 3 bites. My other friend had ordered another soup without the bread which I don’t think is much difference, but hers was less and with bigger portion of food.

    Placed a large takeout order, which was incomplete (my fault for trusting them and not checking the bag). Rather than drive all the way back, we decided to call to at least get a partial refund - good luck getting someone on the phone. Make it impossible to do? Fine, let Visa handle it… Very disappointing to see places like this in high tourist areas which don’t value their customers, as they know they’ll be taking off soon and wouldn’t likely to be returning anyway.

    The Madagascar vanilla cold brew is delicious! I asked for a large in the drive through and when I pulled up the cashier gave me a small. I said that I ordered a large and she said "well I didn't charge you for it." I said I don't mind paying the difference for a large so she rolled her eyes and got me another drink. When she handed me the large I offered to pay the difference and she said "it's fine just make sure you tell us what you want next time." Maybe just use your listening ears next time idk

    Save yourself some time and skip this place. I had breakfast here with my husband and as soon as we walked in the repugnant smell greeted us, the one from old unclean carpets. As we go to the counter, empty counter, we waited about 5 minutes until finally someone show up to take our order, not apologizing about the delay neither having an acceptable customer service. We waited 15 for our order and had to leave to eat somewhere else for the above mentioned odor and a homeless person sleeping in the dining area, we just didn’t feel comfortable. This Panera bread being located across the street from Disney should have way higher quality overall than it has Ps. I’m not a Karen

    6:15 am staff walking around inside store and doors are still locked. Waived at them, acknowledged me but never opened door or explained hours. Just straight ignored me and another person who Is waiting. Oh, my order was placed online at 1:29am for pickup at 6:10am. I received a notification on the app that order is ready for pickup at 6:09am. Finally opened the doors at 6:17am with no apology. be considered to the ppl standing in 40 degrees cold on 02/26/2023. Staff failed on this. They are hard working ppl but need support from management. Management need to train better on customer service. They make amazing food. Just need to work a little better in customer service

    When asking the cashier Deana what the portions were like she had a very bad attitude and was constantly rolling her eyes, the food was not bad but the portions did not match what she told us. Definitely will not be returning here .

    Ordered a steak and cheese sandwich and the sandwich was more horseradish sauce than anything else. I find it hard to believe this wasn't done on purpose - I even tipped through the app. At least it's good for clearing out my sinuses. 😪

    I use to love Panera Bread, but honestly the food was just meh, the serving sizes were small for the price, and the price is way too high. We ate there and the dining room was dirty and just a mess as was the ladies room. On a positive note, the employees I encountered were friendly and polite.

  • 2/5 Lee M. 1 year ago on Google
    This location is fine but in what's a strong selling point in other restaurants, the bread is stale and not tasty. The soup isn't hot but good salads

  • 4/5 Eric S. 1 year ago on Google
    The Autumn Squash Soup was outstanding! Really hit the spot on a cold evening. The "Signature" Hot Chocolate was very sad. Watery and almost no flavor, except MAYBE a watery coffee flavor from using the Koerig to heat the water...? Very sad. Get the excellent soup. Can't recommend the hot chocolate.

    They had fresh coffee in the afternoon which is uncommon, a lot of times people will forget that coffee is old and reduced. They didn't though :-) It was grateful they had working outlets, the internet was very slow while we were there but still workable :-) I'll probably be back next time I'm in the area.

    I ordered the chicken and wild rice and it was horrible. Runny and a little sour. I have had this soup at other Panera Bread locations and it was better.
