I've never been here before and I just came from a wack coffee shop across the street, so I gave this place a try. It was slow and nobody other than couple of customers were there.
I ordered their "sesame chicken salad" and half of their "B.L.T. chicken sandwich"
I have to mention that neither was that good because the "chicken" meat that was on both the salad and sandwich were too cold. Nothing was special.

I stopped by the Panera Bread on Ventura Avenue in Encino and ordered the premium chicken soup with wild rice (around $10, bread included). The soup was rich, flavorful, and felt freshly made, and the bread was warm and tasty. The cashier, Miracle, really lived up to her name—she was friendly, patient, and very helpful, taking the time to guide me since I hadn’t been to Panera in a couple of years. The whole store was spotless, with a clean, fresh atmosphere that made the visit even better. It’s also easy to get to, with a free parking lot located conveniently in the back, which makes stopping in simple and stress-free. Overall, a very positive experience and one I’d happily repeat.

12/07-08/25: Warm, delicious food here (Ciabatta Cheese Steak, Chicken Homemade Soup, Chips) at Panera with Sip club great deal. Wonderful service from Justin, Jeff, Xavier, Alejandra, Breanna, Elizabeth, Eric, Iris, Rico, and Josh. They all deserve holiday pay raises and special award recognition. A great spot for study work completion, and inspiring boost of productivity. Thank you all so much, and God bless.

Good service. A lot of space inside. Park in rear (Bank of A parking lot). -Only downside is Waiting time sometimes can be long…though u may just want to order a coffee, looks like only 1 staff is taking orders.

Panera Bread offers fresh sandwiches, salads, and baked goods with excellent customer service. Staff are friendly and attentive, making sure you get exactly what you want. The dining area is clean, bright, and comfortable for both eating in and working. I love their seasonal menu items and healthy options. Panera is consistent, convenient, and a top choice for casual dining.
