One of the overall best Panera locations in So Cal. Fast, friendly, and delicious! Parking can be a challenge, especially during peak times.

Well run, nice place with very friendly staff. Little extras like chopping up the side apples rather than just giving us a whole apple is really nice compared to other Paneras I have been to. Thank you!

This place is overrated in my opinion. Nothing seems to make this place stand out in my opinion in terms of quality. If anything, I would say that everything from the bread, to the soups are on the lower side of mediocre for prices that feel extravegant for what you're getting. Not a good place to take friends either; the layout means there's foot traffick around you and a lot of noise. You're never quite comfortable. I don't think I'll return here in the future.

Bright and fresh inside pleasant, nice tables and booths. There’s iPads to order on and then you’re not served at your table. You go pick your food up at the counter. I always get a bowl of soup and sometimes half a sandwich. Just depends on my mood.
