Food always very good and consistent. Hearty warm soups, toasty sammiches. Was hoping for more cheese on top of my French Onion soup. A small dollop in the middle is not French Onion! LOL. Server nice, friendly and informative. Pricing very reasonable for California.

This is our local Panera that we've been to a dozen times. However this was the first time we did a pick up order, won't do that again. The order was accurate and on time, but the bread on my bacon turkey bravo was legitimately stale and just fell apart.
