Panera Bread - Manteca

Charged! The best lemonade in town! Don't go through the drive through and try to get one you will become severely dehydrated waiting behind 1 car. It's best to go inside and use the kiosk and help yourself and not stand in line again behind 1 or 2 people and you can literally take a selfy video of yourself aging in line. If you avoid the really nice workers you can get a iced drink at the speed you expect. This is why I give it 5 stars for the drinks. The food is terrible..

We both had the BBQ Chicken Salad. I was very please to see the BBQ Chicken Salad, which they recently brought back on menu. It was my favorite salad before they removed it. They were out of strawberries and baguettes but it was 6pm on a Sunday, and if you are going to run out of something Sunday at 6pm is fair. The staff we interacted with was very charming. The restaurant was clean, but the restrooms were out of paper towels.

Stopped by on Saturday to pick up salads for my co-workers and I. Great people work there and with their terrific service , I was very impressed. See you all on Thursday for chicken sandwiches. Thank you. Richard

Panera Bread has some of the best soufflé I have had. I love the Spinach and Artichoke Soufflé with a cup of Hazelnut Coffee. My wife ordered the Summer Corn Chowder and the Steak and Arugula half sandwich. The Chowder is great and the Steak and Arugula sandwich ....yummy. This Panera had all the pastries to choose from...usually by lunch time they are sold. This store has a great clean design and you can have a private conversation without talking real loud. I just love this location.

The new Signature take chicken sandwich was amazing, And so was the chicken rice soup. Definitely highly recommend!!!
