    Great location with plenty of parking. The food was good and the service friendly. There's construction going on next door, so a little noisy on a weekday. Hopefully it'll end soon. A great neighborhood place.

    I needed to bring in lunch for 10 people for one of my clients and the Panera I went to first said it would take 2.5 hours to get this done, I called the Balboa Ave Panera and Michael Turner in catering said he would be able to complete the order by the time I needed. He was professional, courteous, and could not have been more helpful. My order was done earlier than I had originally asked for and was prepared beautifully. Having people like Michael provides an incredible benefit to both the business and its customers. I will be utilizing this location for all of my client lunches in the area based on my experience with Michael.

    What’s the point in wearing food handlers gloves when they are sweeping, wiping everything down then handling, preparing your food with same gloves. Disgusting ! Even their dirty appearance and apron will make you think Twice before ordering. I guess good help is hard to find. Gross !!

    I ordered their Scrambled Bacon Souffle!! It was scrumptious πŸ”₯ however, due to its rich flavor I had my fill after 4 bites. My son on the other hand, ordered their Italian Steak & Mozzarella (fresh spinach, steak carvings w/ melty cheese) as a duet combo (1/2 sandwich + side of choice) choosing their kettle chips. Clearly, he ate every bit of it πŸ‘πŸ» Our total was $21 (w/ 1$ tip included).

    This place is dirty inside and outside, horrible customer service, some of the team members are nice, but the manager is not friendly and very rude. I love Panera, but not this location. πŸ‘ŽπŸ»πŸ‘ŽπŸ»πŸ‘ŽπŸ»
