Panera Bread

Came in on a Sunday afternoon to escape the cold winds of Novato and was greeted with a friendly hello and had a hot holiday-seasoned mocha. Appreciate the fast and quality service. Great place to have lunch or just coffee. Highly recommend

I wish they had another one of these in southern Marin. The food is really good good balance meals. The prices are right you can drop in for a bowl of soup or go nuts with handmade sandwiches. There’s lots of desserts very easy to access very quick service.

Half way through homework, and we have a delicious Chipper cookie 🍪. Right size for a treat. The staff is very helpful and friendly. W shared a pizza and salad. Food was the right temperature and packed well. Good food for a fair price.

This Panera Bread consistently delivers a great experience! The employees were kind and efficient, making sure my order was correct and ready in no time. I had the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt with a side of Mac & Cheese, and both were incredible! The sandwich had a great smoky flavor, and the mac & cheese was rich and creamy. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with lots of natural light and a peaceful vibe. It’s a great spot for a casual meal, a study session, or a coffee break. I highly recommend this location!

I had a wonderful experience at this Panera Bread! The service was excellent—staff members were friendly, patient, and quick to take my order. I got the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt with a cup of Broccoli Cheddar Soup, and everything was fresh and flavorful. The sandwich was perfectly toasted, and the soup was creamy and comforting. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with clean tables, cozy seating, and just the right level of background music. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. I’ll definitely be back soon!

Panera Bread never fails to impress me. The team is efficient and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere right off the bat. Their menu offers a variety of wholesome choices, but I’m especially fond of their mac and cheese and Mediterranean bowl. The quality is evident in every bite. The restaurant’s ambiance is bright and uplifting, with plenty of natural light and clean, modern decor. It’s a great spot for a quick lunch or a prolonged coffee break. Panera has mastered the art of combining great food, great service, and a fantastic atmosphere!

Food is great for the price. Panera is an amazing fast food chain. This location just does not have the employees. I warn against going during a lunch rush you will wait 30 or more minutes for your food. Service is still great though, very nice cashiers. there is often only one of them so you will have to wait in a line for a bit during a rush

Food is tasty and they have everything from fresh baked sweets to salad and sandos coffee and smoothies too. Yum

We love Panera and think there should be more up Rt. 5. Today’s visit gets a 2 for atmosphere because Manager Victoria berated an employee where we could hear her. The other employees were embarrassed and I felt awful for them. It seemed Victoria had a valid complaint about how something had been washed, but her manner of teaching staff needs to be private and delivered in a way that inspires them instead of shaming.

They were out of all bread except for white bread, which was pretty disappointing. I got the turkey club sandwich and all the other ingredients were very good. The avocado was creamy and the bacon was crispy. Clean bathrooms and plenty of indoor seating.

Fresh bread. Coffee that is the real reason I come here lol. Panera is very good. Most times it is 5 stars.

I like their location, first and foremost. I can’t say much about their lackluster pastries and cookies. Their choices of sandwiches and coffees are OK but not something you want to comeback for. The company has to realize that there are coffee shops nearby that offer better coffee and delectable pastries. The general taste for coffee and various kinds of pastries here in Marin County is a bit more sophisticated than what Panera’s menu offers.

Tiny error on my order attempted to inform the staff. Guy gave an attitude because I told him were weren't given a cup yet. Staff needs to be more courteous.

Panera dropped off some croissants in an effort to gain our business. While the sentiment was there the food quality was not. Their new chocolate croissants are absolutely unremarkable, I presume they gave us day -old pastries. Disappointing.

Cup of soup was excellent. The chicken salad sando had NO flavor, a small apple...not good.. and a small bag of chips given..cheap add- ons. I also got a small drink..29+ bucks! Outrageous price for quality and quantity. ALL tables were filthy. I washed my own. Never going back again.

The woman calling out the food yelled at me while i was looking to see which good was mine that she pointed out and screamed when i accidentally picked up the wrong sandwich for my grandmother. I do not know why this employee seems to be so miserable but i would like to be treated with respect and kindness as a paying customer. I think her name was either Julianne or Vikki but was more heavy set out of the rest. There was tall, nice man at the front who turned around our service but wont be coming here again. This was the Novato, ca location on Vintage way.
