- BSBailey SamsonNov 15, 20251.0This review is not to reflect on the employees as they were perfectly fine. I will start by saying I haven’t been inside a Panera for years. It is absolutely ridiculous how minimal the human interaction is. I have to take my own order, or wait for an employee because there is not enough staff and I have to bus my own table yet the quality consistently declines and prices rise. On top of that, the food is barely passing as warm. The workers are doing the best they can with a full restaurant, minimal staff and minimum wage.
- MSMalcolm ShawOct 31, 20255.0Love being in the sip club.
- WPWandering in ParadiseSep 2, 20255.0Stopped in for some chocolate chipper cookies at the Panera in The Shoppes at Carlsbad. Always a favorite bakery item. Was a super nice and clean location with nice self service ordering. Lots of indoor and dog friendly outdoor seating. Fast wait time and friendly service. Recommend!
- ZCZach CowdenAug 17, 20251.0Dirtiest Panera I have ever encountered.
- DADavid AllenAug 14, 20253.0I go to this location a lot along with the Vista and San Marcos locations. The big issue is the homeless sitting in the outdoor seating out front especially a father and son the past two months who sit at the same table around the clock. Another older guy and a lady switch off looking after their huge grey Marmaduke dog brining the dog into the bathroom and in the restaurant for a few minutes. There is another homeless guy that sits in the back corner and constantly talks to himself laughing and carrying on a conversation. There are other homeless with rolling small suitcases they come in and sit and use the bathroom. One guy has smoked marijuana out front in the past. I do not see this at any other locations but this one. Corporate said managers would need to do something about this. I feel really bad for these homeless people but not really good for paying customers to constantly have this going on.
