Panera Bread - La Mesa

This location is not my favorite. When I order extra anything I never get it even when it’s clearly in my receipt. I had five little pieces of chicken in the Fuji apple salad. Will not go back to this location

Dining at Panera is always enjoyable, no doubt about it. However, the prices are unreasonable. Paying $14 for a soup and half a veggie sandwich is excessive, especially now that customers have to handle everything themselves - from ordering on a confusing screen, to picking up their food at the counter, finding utensils and condiments, and sitting at worn-out tables. Overall, it was a disappointing experience and we will not be returning. Hopefully someone will address these issues and improve the overall dining experience.

Yesterday, my order was incorrect 15 minutes before closing time at the restaurant. However, the manager quickly rectified the mistake. The meal was delicious, and it was evident that the manager prioritizes customer service. I will definitely return thanks to the exceptional service provided by the manager and the excellent food.

The food at this restaurant is delicious, but the prices are extremely high. I ordered half a soup and half a salad, and it cost me almost $18. I understand that it's a bit pricey, but if you're spending that much money and still leaving hungry, something is not right. They really need to increase the portion sizes. And to top it off, a drink isn't even included at that price. It's just outrageous.

I am giving this place 3 stars because been though it is definitely comfortable and the food is good, A half sandwich at this location is between $8 and $9 plus tax. I can go up the road to Submarina and get an 8 inch sub for the same price.The people are nice and the bread and bagels there are better than most places, but you pay a little more here basically! The coffee club is good if you like coffee, but their iced coffee is pretty weak and their cold brew gives me a stomach ache. I recommend the hot coffee or the tea this location instead, or an espresso drink, which is not included. The iced teas are very good though! Especially the green one!
