    Things are getting really ridiculous, hence the review. Didn’t bother to write a review these past few months, no matter what the issues were as I understand everyone is short staffed. But today in the pickup order when they put an empty chips bag (our order has 3 chips bags, they placed 2 full bags & 1 opened & empty bag - really grossed us out), thought it was time to write the review. As usual, the food is so so (we don’t even have any expectations anymore, so am not even going to complain about that) & very minimal quantity of ingredients in the sandwiches. Yes, our bag had the proper seal/tape closure + there was no delay in picking up our order.

    Food was great. The people at front were friendly and helpful. Yummy food. Table we ate at was very wobbly. A bit noisy.

    They are always out of the sourdough rustic bread, even if you order online. Actually they have it but won’t sell it- they say they don’t have enough… this has happened 3x ! Terrible customer service.

    As a regular customer at Panera Bread, I must say that I am disappointed to find out that they don't have a self-order screen. Every time I visit, I have to wait at least 5 minutes to place my order, and it's either due to the staff's inefficiency or, they are short staffed. As a customer, it's not only frustrating but also time-consuming. Hope the management will look into this matter and take appropriate action.

    Beyond dirty at 10am!. Came in this am for a quick breakfast. Ordered and Paid then went to restroom, I didn't even want to sit! The entire restroom was beyond filthy from doors to sink. Once I walked back out, I realized how dirty the entire place really is. The sun happened to be shining in the windows. I spoke to the manager to ask who cleans the place, employees or janitorial service. Employees. I'm sure it's not their job to keep the place spotless and sanitary At least keep up after once a week professional cleaning. I will not be back.

    This place is disgusting. I just spent $45 on two meals just for both of them to taste like expired milk. The mayonnaise was 100% spoiled and the meat was severely undercooked. The soups were cold like they were microwaved for a few seconds and the sandwiches were sour with no reason to be sour. Waste of money

    This place was A HOT MESS!! I am sure they want to do better and probably do not have enough team members...but they have to find a way! It was dirty! The food was "eeh". The cheese on my grilled cheese was NOT melted and the temperature of my tomato soup was...slightly warm.

    We really enjoyed a quick pickup order of their delicious soup and chicken cordon melt. Fantastic

    The food was tasty. Employees were very nice, although the food took quite a while to make. One thing I did find quite annoying is they do not have any sugar free options for their coffees. My husband is diabetic and would have loved to get the vanilla cold brew but was unable. Since Panera is so "health conscious" I'm surprised there are no sugar free options.

    The worst place probably ever. You will not enjoy the poor service here and equally poor food here. It isn't like this in other Panera breads in like more classy places to live. But since you have mostly morons who are in food in Simi valley because Simi is just a slow place, no motivation, no actual anything, they're a dim people. Mostly. They just hire whoever they can get here. Remodeling has not actually improved anything at all here and there will never be anything about this Panera that will be good. There was a delicious breakfast sandwich at Panera but in another city and it was so tasty and here in Simi you actually receive something that is somehow changed into a gross sandwich ! (Why couldn't it taste good? Why do you guys fail? The worker that made the sandwich looked and most definitely was just someone who was lazy and you just hired who had a 2.0 gpa in high school) Somehow because they just don't have any care in how they put it all together. Honestly this place is gross feeling too. I swear to God Simi Valley is sorry and the people are so moronic and dim that they don't know anything else. And also they not only suck here at literally everything but I have to add that their actual drinks they made me that I payed over $7 for they just failed at and it just is so poor here that it's truly an act of disrespect that the menu prices are the standard Panera prices when it is poor in every way. Close this place down. I'm pretty sure they've also had to fire some of their managers for sexual harassment too. You know the more I think about it the more I realize that this place is cursed and cannot possibly be a success. They just haven't got the wealth or privilege in this area to pull off what Panera Bread is really about.

    I'm not sure what's happening here. But this Panera is going down hill quickly. The food is Panera food... but this place is poorly run and it's looking very run down. It's pretty disappointing. I'm sure Covid didn't help.... Panera is always a steady choice you usually get the same food no matter where you stop. Service is what sets them apart and the cleanliness of the facility. This was lacking.

    It's always clean staff is always friendly. Peaceful atmosphere. Good broccoli cheddar soup, good bagels, good bakery treats. Lots of drink options. Just stay away from the flatbread pizzas because to my daughter and I the sauce tastes weird and a bit spicy and the pepperoni has a kick and weird flavor too. Hard to mess up pizza but they do, we tossed it.

    My wife and I met up here yesterday because we were next door at the Tmobile store. She wanted soup since it was cold, so I suggested that we can go next door to see what Panera Beard has to offer. This store is in a plaza with a lot of parking spots since there are other stores here as well. When we walked in, they had just about 3 other guest inside and my wife looked at their menu. She decided to get their chicken noodle soup to go. The soup itself was pretty pricey so she was hoping it would be decent. She was highly disappointed when she got home because they didn't fill up the soup to the top of the cup along with not getting a lot of noodles and you pay a high price for such so little food. She was not happy to the point that I think this is the last time she would ever want to try another Panera Beard store again. Inside of the place is okay, it's organized and cleaned but I just think it's outdated. Service: 5 star, no issues with the workers because they are nice. Atmosphere: 3.5 star, the place is okay buy just seem very outdated to me Food: 2 star, the value of the food and the price for it was just not worth it based on our experience. Parking: 5 star, you won't have any issues finding parking here.

    Food's okay, the girl behind the counter super nice, good oatmeal raisin cookies the coffee is always amazing 😋

  • 5/5 Brianne R. 2 years ago on Google
    The service here is so great, and the girl who was working here was really helpful and friendly. I have the coffee pass, so I go to a lot of different Paneras, all over, and this place had some of the nicest employees. The food was good, per usual, and everything was pretty clean.

    Haven't had Panera in a long time. The quality this time is way better than it has been. The sandwich had thick slices of bread, and was loaded with turkey.

  • 1/5 Leo T. 1 year ago on Google
    Horrible online ordering experience! After you select your food, it gives the option to add a drink but it doesn't let you choose. The only option given to me was Dr. Pepper and even though it wouldn't have been my first choice, I was ok with it. Then it turns out it wasn't available! There was no way to edit or change it. Panera heavily pitches $1 delivery but then it adds another $2 supplement delivery fee so $3 total. Ok I get it, introductory rate to get you in the door but the nickel and dime fee that really made me mad was the convenience fee that paid for tech upkeep and innovation. For this trash online experience where you can't even order a drink or use your Sip Club option? Maybe it's time for me to cancel my subscription. After all, I went hungry at lunch today hoping to order from Panera.

    This location is understaffed. Long line around 12:30 on a weekday. Had to wait 30 minutes to get our Sandwich and Soup. The sandwich and Baguette were served cold. It was supposed to be hot sandwich. It was more of a bread and less of chicken and Avocado. Soups were served in paper cups. No salt or Pepper offered. I would not go to this place again.

    I have always had positive experiences here. However, if you ever order for an important business meeting I recommend calling ahead and making sure they have everything you ordered. For me, they were out of the cookies I added to the large order and the entire thing was canceled leaving me to run out of the meeting and to the restaurant to place a new order.

    Excellent service and fresh quality. I preordered quiches; they were just out of the oven and packaged in perfect time.

  • 1/5 Tawny S. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered our food at 6pm. It is now almost 7:45pm and we are still waiting. Completely unacceptable service.

  • 5/5 Jimmy Z. 1 year ago on Google
    This was only my second trip to Panera bread. Little too much hype on the quality of food although it was very good and it was nice seeing a change of menu from the typical food place. The bathrooms are clean and you're greeted with a friendly smile when you step up to place your order. I do love the spacious seating arrangements. This visit deserves five stars!
