Panera Bread - San Ramon

I really like the food here, but don 't call the service service . You order from the register, then you go pick up your own food, then you go find your own silverware, then you bus your own table. That is self service . And then the cashier stares at you while waiting to see if you are going to add a sizable tip to your order.

5 of us came in in the afternoon. Girl up front was nice. We ordered,payed and waited... and waited. Our buzzers never went off. When we figured out our food was ready two of the sandwiches had little to nothing in them. Our concerns didn't seem to concern them in the slightest. 50$ for 3 people with out

First time we stopped in at this location in San Ramon. It was a busy time of day, we understand that. Food was prepared to go as requested. Employee at the counter where others are preparing salads, bowls, etc. was totally unhelpful. There was a stack of napkins on the counter bow within her reach. I said, Could we please have some extra napkins? and she said, They 're over there pointing to the cold drink counter about 12 ft away. Not sure why she couldn 't just accommodate that simple request, but instead, I picked up a large bag, with 2 beverages, and my purse, and walked back over there to get more napkins after setting everything down. We 're not lazy. It was just napkins. In front of her. Which is why we asked her in the first place.Food itself contained a large dollop of yogurt (Mediterranean bowl) though we didn 't select yogurt on our bowl have never had it with our meal in the past. We threw out a decent portion of our food because of this as we didn 't have time to wait for them to remake it. Side baguette was yummy chewy on the inside and crusty on the outside, but not too hard to chew as with prior baguettes. Sandwich with hummous was fresh, sparce on produce though we selected extra when ordering. Coffee was good, almond milk was available with no upcharge. Many tables needed to be cleared and wiped. Don 't know why people don 't take their dishes to the designated areas, but staff needs to wipe down tables, even when they 're busy. Free parking lot with adequate spaces. Not far from 680 freeway.Dietary restrictions: No vegan entrees. Have to get a salad or bowl, then ask them to hold all the cheese. yogurt, milk/eggs in dressings or soups.Parking: Several disabled spots, but were all full. Busy time of day, so not many open spots, but we were able to park further out walk over easily.

Good food, good service and good space to have some personal time or have quality time with family, friends, and colleagues.I like their pick two option as it gives me a variety of food for less cost. I like to try a little of everything as opposed to getting so much food of one kind.

Very disappointed with my order today. Picked up breakfast item from this location and very disappointed with the quality. Management please work with your employees on if a product doesn't look okay, please don't loaded on the food. See picture below.
