Prices have become totally outrageous. I love eating here, and I have a lot of disposable income, but it's enough to deter me at this point. A salad and a Diet Coke is $20! On what planet does this match the rest of the market when I can eat elsewhere for $10? I could get a salad and soda at a full service restaurant and tip the server for less than $20.I won't be coming back unless prices go down.

The food is almost always delicious!Stopped dining inside years ago, not sure why maybe the unique parking design is a factor - the row of businesses gives off a quick stop feel at this location.Parking: Although adjacent to larger mall parking lot, the row of businesses here in the corner gives off a quick stop feel at this location.

Really bad service. I placed an order on the app for drive thru pickup and it wasn’t ready when I got to the place even though it marked ready on the app. I had to wait an additional 25 minutes and go through the drive-thru again to get my food. On top of that I tried calling the manager to complaint and I just kept getting hung up on. Bad place. Never ordering from this location again.

We actually go here so my kids can get their homework done and get a bite to eat at the same time. It's a very relaxing environment.We love their tomato soup and baguettes.My only complaint is sometimes they have a homeless guy in there with his 2 big dogs. The dogs are very well behaved and the doesnt create any issues at all. But I can see how it would scare people away.

Im customer over 6 years and been a lot Panera locations all around California with my service dog. Never experienced a discrimination to me and my service dog and too disrespectful attitude from any panera employee but this location assistant manager! I will open a lawsuit against her and someone have to explain to me why i have to drink my coffee and eat my food in my car instead of inside. Worst!!!!

Drive through took 25 minutes. Checked my order, was missing my soup, told her about and recieved the wrong soup. Only reason they get 2 stars vs 1 is because the food is good when you actually recieve it..

Ordered the Homesttle Chicken Noodle Soup which was a bit salty. The bread was delicious and fresh. The salad was also fresh and crisp.

Great lunch place. Soups, sandwiches, salads, pastries all good. Their breads and bagels are so good. Highly recommend. Update: 10/1/2023. Still same review. Love their soups. Wasn't feeling good so popped in for a bowl of chicken noodle soup. I love all their soups. Recommend 1/24/2024 same review - best broccoli cheddar soup around. Yummy

Haven't eaten at Panera Bread for a while and first time to this store. Great fresh food--particularly like the salad selections, which one cannot find in the area.

I went through the drive-thur yesterday. I was coming back from Fresno. I wish I had stop at my favorite Panera in Fresno, but I went to the one in Merced. They didn't ask me for my phone number so I could get points. My mistake was I didn't get my receipt, so I couldn't log in to get my points. Then I get home and they left out the pastry I ordered. This is an ongoing problem for this store. I have left several other reviews similar to this, but there is no change. This store needs new management.

I always get the turkey avocado sandwich and broccoli and cheddar. The bread is soft and tasty. They have a good selection on drinks.

This store needs better management. They are unprofessional, they lack proper communication skills needed for customer service and food service, they lack respect for their employees. They don't inform employees about scheduling changes and they are petty when it comes to scheduling emplpyees who live near. Do better panera. 1/10 work environment.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! I have never been through a drive through that over charged me for my half pick 2 sandwich the menu says something different than what they actually charge you when you pay. I brought that to there attention and all they said was the “menu was wrong”! I told them to just give me back my 20 bill and they only gave me back the price of the item I got. They literally tried scamming me.. pretty slick there but not so smart! They need to get it together I told the manager and she just said ok we will have a nice day SMH!!! I hope they get fired!!!

We had not been to Panera since we left the Midwest a few years ago. We finally had the opportunity but we were some what disappointed. The service was very friendly as always. The tuna salad used to have chunks of real tuna! What was served to us was more like a tuna spread and not much of it at that. The salad was horrible. I hope this was a one off kind of day.

They are usually good here but sometimes forget things. Ordered two sandwiches and usually I never do this but forgot to order a coffee so I ordered a cold brew at the window. I felt bad so tipped 5 and then discovered my sandwich was completely laying in the bag out of the wrapping. I was going to attempt to eat it but was gross out and asked if they could make another one. They sat us and made us wait a while, so husband had to go inside and pick it up.

I got a strawberry poppyseed with chicken salad, and NOT ONE PIECE OF CHICKEN in the salad. Since I brought it home, I didnt find out until later in the day and too inconvenient to go back. Not good Panera.
