I spend $22 dollars on a bowl of lettuce, soup and a “medium” soda (it was small). I usually get the cranberry chicken salad sandwich but I gave up on that one because I end up getting bread and lettuce with a hint of chicken salad. So this time I tried a salad. The four bites that actually had toppings were really good but it left me with only a bowl of lettuce once those four bites were done. The chicken was almost non existent, as were the other toppings. It was the apple salad. I had four, small dried, thin apple slices on top. I feel like I’d be fuller if I just ate the $22 dollars. Raising prices and making portions smaller is a great way to go under. I will never spend money on any Panera again. This isn’t the only one that does this. I’ve been to the one in Whittier, Norwalk, some other location I don’t remember and they’re all this way. The only Panera that actually gives you food is the one in Pico Rivera. Sorry, I’m just done.

Worst food I’ve ever had from a Panera, the grilled cheese looked like it was made yesterday then just threw it in the microwave, and the soup was straight out the fridge, never eating here again

They block all of their outlet plugs for some reason, so you aren't able to stay or study/work here.

The worst Panera I've ever seen in my life, and the worst employees, they don't know what rapid pick-up is.

The service was very good. I ordered something wrong on the Tablets and they made a new sandwich and where very understanding and super fast with it. The store was mostly clean and quite empty and the food was as always.
