From focusing on quality ingredients to serving our food to you in a warm and welcoming environment, Panera Bread is committed to being an ally to our guests. That means crafting a menu of soups, salads and sandwiches that we are proud to feed our families. You don’t have to compromise to eat well. Whether you want to come in and enjoy a coffee and our complimentary Wi-Fi, or order online using Rapid Pick-Up so you can grab something quickly, Panera Bread Brea is here with warmth and welcome. Panera Bread. Food as it should be.
This probably is one of the worst takeout service I had considering the cost of the food. I ordered a Southwest chicken salad to go which cost $16. They were out of ranch dressing if one can believe. On top of that they gave me the salad without chicken. :) Luckily, I checked on my way back to my car.
I am not particular about serving size usually but the size of this salad was smaller than a side serving. On top of that I am not sure about hygiene of this place given the mops in the kitchen that I could see. A part of me thinks it might be better throw this salad in trash and get something else. That bad!

I'm usually not one to criticize restaurants but sometimes you just feel compelled. Like many of the other reviews on here it wasn't even about the quality of the food as much as it is about service. I work nearby so I try to grab a quick bite through The occasional drive-thru. I have been to this location three times and all three times down it has taken well over 25 minutes to get my food. Given that I have an hour lunch it's just becomes a complete waste of time. Suffice to say I won't be returning because all three times they never offered a reason for the delay or even apologized. That's just poor customer service.

The problem is NOT the food. The workers are friendly, however, it shouldn’t take 15 minutes to get a soup and bread bowl ready for take out. The service process is incredibly slow; very inefficient sadly. When the lines are long, either inside or the drive thru, one back another time is the best advice.

Someone told me their experiences with this Panera were very bad, and I didn’t believe them…until I experienced it myself.
I ordered food in person, and the order took too long to be ready.
My Diet Pepsi was FLAT!! This might be a #firstworldproblem, but it’s so disappointing when your soda is flat.
I also ordered iced coffee, but they ran out of coffee and I had to wait for them to brew another batch. This was on a Sunday afternoon.

First ever Panera order, service was nice, but no pride in food preparation, very dry and for $13.00 not good. Update tried them again, 32 minutes in drive through, did not start order till I got to window, looked inside saw lots of employees, no napkins in bag, nonchalant air about them. Sandwich very dry and not much on it, when the american cheese over powers the buffalo flavor, hmm, thought it was a cheese sandwich with a smidge of chicken. Not worth it.

There is a reason for the low scores folks. I don't usually write these kinds for reviews but this one needs to be noted.
My family and I sat down and waited for our order. Given that it was only a shake, coffee, and a regular drink. I was perplexed why it was taking so long. After 15 min of waiting a server or worker approached us while we were sitting on one of the seats and told us that they have a limit to sit inside. WHAT IN THE WORLD?
I have been a loyal Panera Bread customer and subscriber forever and have been going to Panera Bread for years. I've never heard of any rule nor has anyone ever tried to kick me out...even while studying. I told her we were waiting for our drinks and have not been called yet.
Her reply was, "Oh ok. You ordered something?" I said yes. And she didn't even try to help us if it was ready. She walked away so I walked to the counter and had to ask.
That is why this place is getting low scores. For the record, we were all coming back from church and decided to just grab some refreshing drinks.
I'll be going back to my favorite branch in Eastvale!!! I don't think I will go to this location again.

Very poor service the restaurant was not clean at all a lot of dirty tables and employee standing behind the bar area talking. The Ladies restroom was filthy And it needs to be updated badly.
The person that took our order seemed very confused and kept asking questions over and over. He also did not provide us with a buzzer to get our order so we were waiting for about 20 minutes when we finally went up and asked about our order which was sitting there. Food ok But has gone downhill lately. I had the pick two had a tuna sandwich on sourdough tuna was OK but it was loaded with lettuce and a tomato that was bad. Had the Cobb salad lettuce was very wilted and very little toppings on it. Was a total waste for almost $21 which included a drink, I will never go there again

The worst experience ever and handled by manager tonight. She was at the drive through and said her name is Lark or Laurie and she was supposedly a manager. And this is the kicker they do not accept $100 bills but the order was $65. The owners need to be aware at how silly that sounds and how they lost business because of that.

A very disappointing dining experience at Panera in Brea, California. The Store Manager or Supervisor (Not sure if he is the Manager or Supervisor, he is a male but wears makeup and is more feminine) and staff completely rude and very unfriendly. Very bad attitude towards customers and the way he speak is full of discrimination. The restaurant is also very dirty, especially the restaurant environment, tables and restroom. Never go to a store like this again in the future.

I remember when I worked at Panera there was a huge emphasis on cleanliness, speed of service and professionalism. When I arrived at the store, I ordered on the kiosk and they were dirty. There was filth on the screens. After ordering, I sit down and notice an unkept dinning room. All the tables either had crumbs or sauce or some kind of residue on them. There was a mess at the drink station, a bubbler was leaking. As I wait for my food, which took a long time considering how many orders they had on their screen. The older lady that seems to be the manager or shift supervisor is really loud having a personal conversation with an or the employees. The proximity of the line and the dining room is close, instead of lowering her voice she was talking like she had a megaphone to her mouth. I was surprised that Panera or this location no longer takes the food to your table. When I worked there we took food to the tables and picked up after customers. The service keeps declining and declining. Next thing we are going to have to go back there and make our own sandwich. When I received my order it was poorly put together. There was soup on the side of the bowl. Crumbs all over the napkin, the napkin was wet. The portion sizes have gotten smaller when they were already small to begin with. Overall the place needs some improvement with cleanliness and customer service.

The service was very poor! I ordered 12 bagels for Tuesday and selected the flavors I wanted. However, when I went to pick up my order, I was informed that the flavors I wanted were already sold out (even though the email said I could pick up my order, but at the store, they told me to choose from the leftovers). Never happened in other location. In the end, I could only choose 6 sesame-flavored bagels and 6 plant bagels!!!! This store is so bad! frustrated

I usually go to the Panera bread in Fullerton but decided to give a shot to one in Brea. I walked in and there were two people behind the counter and third person on the right side prepping food. Even though I was standing right by the register, they completely ignored me even after they made eye contact. Maybe after a min of waiting, someone from the back came and took my order. The element of costumer service was definitely lacking. I know, they don t get paid enough In such positions but that doesn t translate to them ignoring regular costumers

18 months of wrong orders. Why do I keep coming here? I think it s like a train wreck that I can t look away from and I m addicted to seeing just how they ll mess up the order. We have a game at home where we predict what will go wrong, and someone can always bid $1, bob when we think something new will occur that we ve never seen todays problem was they sold me a charger lemonade but didn t bother to make any after I pointed it out, the excuse was our delivery truck is blocking the way for us to get it made this morning. that didn t stop them from charging me $5.29 for it tho and offering nothing to correct it. OLD REVIEW After a full year of coming in, my final review is in. Don t come here. Stats wise, my Order is wrong 90% of the time. Something is usually missing. Every time I point it out, the employee du jour isn t happy to correct it. Usually says nothing, definitely never an apology. On weekends, they re usually so far behind on orders that it will take over 30m to get the food. So yeah, avoid this place like Covid.

Rapid pick up is not functioning properly. They keep the orders behind a COVID screen /behind the desk instead of putting them in the pick up area. They also do not call out the orders or have anyone looking for people waiting for their order.

So no indoor anything, which is fine. Staff was courteous overall. Used Panera App to order prior. I was actually very surprised at how fast the order was prepared. I ordered the Chipotle sandwich for a buddy of mine and a chocolate chip oookie because hes hooked on those edibles. I also ordered the pepperoni pizza. Unfortunately, it was to my demise disappointing, to say the least. I took a bite and thought WOW this tastes familiar. It didnt take much of eating it to think of the Chef Boy Ardee spaghetti, ravioli, beefaroni, etc.... I also thought that Panera needs to change their sauce on this pizza and as well not be so stingy on the pepperoni. Not enough pepperoni, as some slices did not have 1 piece of pepperoni whatsoever. My recommendation is some kind of marina sauce or Prego; maybe even Ragu would possibly give it some kind of justice. Whomever gets to read this, please change that recipe and make it better to be able to be edible with the proper tasting ingredients. Thank you

One of the worst Panera bread I have ever visited. Panera Bread is my preferred restaurant as my family and I a pure vegetarian and they have good options for us. But this particular store was super disappointing. When I visited the store it was only takeout or drive through, although their website does not say so, I ordered all veg items. I ordered half Mediterranean vegetarian sandwich and half cream of tomato soup and I also confirmed that while picking but what I got was Full sandwich full of chicken, I also ordered another full Mediterranean vegetarian sandwich as another order and I got mac-n-cheese sandwich. After reaching to my hotel when opened the order, I had to simply put it in trash. I had no option but by a bread and butter from near by gas station, eat and sleep. I would never ever visit this particular location again and would never order from drive through Panera again.

I cannot believe how awful the customer service in this location, specially coming from a management employee. Andrew the manager, was the most disrespectful person in entire store. I was waiting for my order today a female employee was offering to help me when he asked who was next, I told him I was he said literally im not talking to you and ignored the fact that I was next. Even the employee apologized for the way he reacted. I hope he realizes that we are paying his salary and should be more appreciative of us, definitely not a good location.

Great location. Surprised I couldnt order inside at this particular Panera and then eat outside. I do understand not everyone is following mandates. I was taking my 2 year old Grandson to his first restaurant experience after pre-school (he and I were both masked). Did order via drive-thru and took home. (outside was available, yet we had already walked to the door and then got back in the car to order via drive thru). Service was slow, which rated a 4 vs 5.

Ordered was supposed to be ready for pick-up between 12:05 and 12:15...showed up at 12:15, they had no idea where my order was...gave them my name about 7 times, kept bringing up bags asking if I was that person...uh, no, name hasnt changed! Finally brought my order up at just before 1pm, and offered a larger size mac-n-cheese than what I bought...except it wasnt even the right mac-n-cheese! And the sandwich I ordered was a half steak and white cheddar cheese...two skinny slivers of steak, and remnants of cheese...I paid $10.49 for this?!?

Awful. No walk in service now as they have no staff. Limited menu. Be sure to check your order. Chances are that it is wrong.

Drive thru only, line was ridiculously long (30 min) and I only got one item. Not worth it

Edit on 9/12/2021 10:40AM on Sunday. Drive-thru only. The line is moving very slow. I spent around 30 minutes. Old review: My order wasnt ready. Im wondering why they sent ready message.

Location is good, food is ordinary. Could be less costly for the quantity and presentation. They have a good offer: endless coffee for the whole month for only $8.99

The reason am giving a stars is that we were coming in for a wonderful Panini, to be disappointed they dont carry it any lo ger. And to top it the cafe latte machine was not worming either

I ordered the new napa almond sandwich and it is now a lot smaller. Last week it was still a nice sandwich. I will not order it again. I have probably bought that sandwich a hundred times. That was a bad business decision they made to shrink the size of the sandwich. It was already a little expensive, but I liked them. They are probably 30 percent smaller now.

Poor! Disappointing! The dinning area was dirty, the food was sub-par at best.

Worst experience I ve had with a Panera. The food we ordered came out fast and it was fine but we also ordered coffee and it was ice cold. I think every human knows that coffee is supposed to be hot and no we didn t order cold/iced coffee. The employees were a mess and are either new or unmotivated. Will not come back and don t recommend anyone does either. Go to another Panera or anywhere else.

The Mediterranean veggie sandwich is excellent (for vegan, order without feta) and the madagascar vanilla almondmilk cold brew is delicious! The drive thru was very fast and my order was correct. Definitely recommend!

Went to lunch with our granddaughter today and had a bad experience with the food. Flat bread pizza not cut all the way through. I asked the server to have it re-cut. she said they could not take it back to fix it. I asked for my money back. Manager return my money and slammed it on the table. He you go she said nastily Both my wife and granddaughter had the chicken soup. The chicken was dry, hard and tasteless. It was obvious they were overworked and not very friendly today

Staff was friendly, food came out quickly and was just okay. The sodas tasted funky, like the machine needed to be cleaned.
