I had a really pleasant experience at the Panera Bread in Glendale. The location is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it a great spot to relax, work, or grab a quick bite. The staff was friendly, patient, and welcoming, which honestly makes a big difference.
My order was prepared quickly and accurately, and the food was fresh and flavorful, exactly what you expect from Panera. I especially appreciated the consistency in quality and the calm, organized atmosphere despite it being fairly busy.
Overall, this Panera location stands out for its great service, clean environment, and reliable food quality. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid, stress-free dining experience in Glendale.

A Mixed yet positive Experience at Panera Bread
I recently had the opportunity to visit Panera Bread, and while the experience was largely positive, there were a few areas that left room for improvement.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by a staff member, but I was immediately struck by the entrance, which could have benefited from a quick sweep and tidy. However, this minor issue didn't deter me from enjoying my visit.
I was excited to try their famous French onion soup bread bowl, which I had specifically sought out. Unfortunately, the website indicated it was sold out, but thankfully, they had it available in-store. The soup was exquisite, with rich flavors and a generous helping of caramelized onions. The bread bowl itself was freshly baked and held up well to the savory broth.
I also tried their creme brûlée seasonal iced coffee, which was a creative twist on a classic flavor combination. While the concept was intriguing, the execution fell a bit short – the flavor lacked presence and could have benefited from a bolder approach.
In terms of pricing, Panera Bread is generally on the higher end of the spectrum, but the portion sizes and quality of ingredients justify the cost.
Overall, I'd give Panera Bread 4/5 stars. While there's room for improvement in terms of cleanliness and online inventory management, the quality of their food and commitment to using high-quality ingredients shine through. I would definitely return for another visit, especially for that French onion soup bread bowl.
Kudos to Luke for his friendliness.

Panera bread is one of my favorite sandwich shops. They have very fresh bread, meet and cheeses to choose from.
I love their many different sandwich options and they're different breakfast options also.
They have many pastries that I enjoy for dessert and drinks.
If you haven't been here before I highly recommend it.

Came in and ordered one item and we were given something completely different. It happened to be my son’s favorite breakfast sandwich (steak and wake)
and we were given some seeded veggie something else. It was the single only thing we ordered and we were given the wrong thing. Came to LA for the weekend (for his birthday) and wanted to grab it on the way out of town. We drove off before we noticed the error but now we have a sad birthday boy. We made a huge deal about stopping to get his Panera sandwich and the one single thing in the bag was not our order. Especially disappointing.
