Panera Bread

I ordered at the drive thru an everything bagel with cream cheese and tomato. I was charged $2.79 extra for the tomato. I get home and I have to assemble the whole thing and they gave me 3 slices of a very small tomato. Rip off!! Over $7.00 got this?? Never again. Go to Einsteins for your bagel. Same exact order from there is only $4 and some change and they make it for you!

The place is nice, bright, and clean. They offer various salads and drinks, as well as bread. The black pepper ciabatta turned out to be a bit tough, and the pepper wasn't noticeable at all. But the tea and coffee are excellent. It's quiet and peaceful — a good spot to sit, read, or have a conversation.

Panera is a great option to study or get some work done. I feel like it has a subtler atmosphere than SB. I also love that there's a lot of food option to fill you up when you're studying/working. I love their carrot cupcake, it's one of the best I have tried. Also recommend their tomoto soup, its perfect with the bread. The sandwiches are hit or miss depending on the freshness of the bread. I personally do not like sourdough for my sandwich. It goes well with soup. This location in Vista is quiet even when it gets busy. I can easily find a small nook and plug in my laptop and work away without being bothered by noise. The staff here always makes sure the place is clean and well kept.

Don’t call it a grilled cheese if all you’re going to do is put cheese between bread and microwave it. Literally Islands made a better GRILLED cheese the week before. I don’t like posting bad reviews but get it together..

Place is clean. Staff is friendly and fast service. There is plenty of seating and comfy. All the food is great. My favorite is the Turkey chili and the mac n cheese bowl. I keep on coming back to this location because of the great experience I have every time I'm there.
