Reviews for Panera Bread in Alameda, CA
Ordered Broccoli Cheddar Soup on 9/23 & tasted something extremely squishy. Found a bunch of this in my soup, no idea what it is
When I asked specifically if the sip club included an ice coffee with syrup, which I couldn't find I the self serve kiosk, she... just pointed at the menu and said, "all our drinks are right there". Umm okay, back to the self service kiosk I went. Usingthis men's urinal was a most unpleasant experience. It is caked with yellow calcified urine all dried around the inside of theurinal, which means no one has used any cleaning products, no brushes, nothing for many weeks or months, maybe even years. Thestench just standing in front of it was overwhelming. Also, I added special instructions asking for my muffin warm. It wasserved cold. I didn't waste my time asking them to heat it up, only to be told, "we don't do that" again. It's a bakery, and yetthey can't figure out how to warm up a simple muffin. I can't. Read more
Among the Panera Breads I?ve seen this one may be slightly below average. A little dark inside (not very many spaces outside),... slightly cluttered, service was friendly, but not overly so, food was as expected with the chicken salad sandwich heavy onthe bread and not so much on the salad (and it?s called Panera Bread for a reason and not Panera Salad). The flat bread pizzawas actually pretty good. Overall an OK experience. Read more
Once I had dinner in Panera Bread, the food is really fresh and delicious. They also have bakery inside, you can choose... different varieties of bread, pastries and pies. My family and I love Panera bread. Read more
I'm not sure what has happened, but this Panera has completely fallen apart. The restaurant is dirty. Today they were serving... sour milk. Absolutely no response from the management when you ask to talk to someone. I waited for 7 minutes no one came and Ileft. I overheard at least two other customers saying they will never come back here. As an example of how disorganized andpoorly managed this restaurant is, look no further than the improvised serving area. If they cannot operate as a safe and cleanrestaurant they should get out of the way for another restaurant. Read more
I?ll start by saying when it comes to high volume fast food-quick food restaurants like this my main expectation is for... affordable decent food. So the restroom needed attending, several tables needed cleaning, the front service was slow so I usedthe kiosk to order. There were only 2 kiosk working, 1 was right in front of the register and about 8 people trying to order.Some employees were wearing their masks incorrectly, but that?s pretty much any fast food spot. I ordered a salad with specialrequests, a muffin, a bagel, and a pick 2 sandwich/salad. Check your order BEFORE you walk away from pickup, using the kioskusually helps avoid mistakes but this particular location gets busy and can get it wrong. They get it right most of the timethough, and the food is tasty. Worth a visit if in the area. Read more
This Panera Bread restaurant is very busy. Staff is doing their best to help everyone. Nice selection of baked goods.
A spacious indoor interior, outdoor seating, close proximity to TJ's, Kohl's, Safeway, several banks, Walgreens, and a bunch of... other establishments makes this the perfect place to refuel while getting your day taken care of. My favorite thing there is thefrontega chicken sandwich. The bakery is always fresh and the staff is generally kind and always works hard. Read more
