It is what it is. Why do they serve bread with a sandwich? It's clean, has wifi, it's air conditioned in summer.

I, too, used to go all the time - always for takeout, and always the same thing: chicken caesar sandwich & mac n cheese. Usually have to ask for the complimentary baguette/chips side and utensils after they've handed me my take away bag, which is frustrating.

We used to go two or three times per week but lately the quality of sandwich has been disappointing. My last few sandwiches had all the meat and cheese stacked on one side it was like oversized bread.

I had an egg and cheese on ciabatta bread and OJ and my husband had a bear claw and coffee. It was very tastey. First time at Panera and I'll go back.

I once loved Paners, for their great bread and hearty sandwiches. The last 2 times I've eaten there, the bread was nothing special- dry and just average. The fillings were skimpy and not very flavorful. The large white plate arrived with the sandwich and a bag of potato chips. All pretty white and lacked eye appeal. I'm sorry to see... More

Nice Patio, staff kind. Decent menu options for breakfast sandwiches. Could use a few more. But figure it is a corporate thing. Would return.

Had lunch there several times, finally ordered specialty sliced bread loaves for a dinner party. Great service, delicious and superbly fresh breads - sourdough, rye bread, and ? another! We used to drive to the Panera in La Quinta, until the one in Palm Desert opened.
