We are pleased that they have maintained this retro design at the restaurant. It has a cozy atmosphere with a counter and comfortable seating. The soups, especially the butternut squash and tomato soup, are always delicious and perfect for any day. The salads are fresh and come in large portions - we always end up taking half of it home for the next day. Our favorite salads are the strawberry poppyseed and Caesar salad. They also offer vegan salads, soups, and sandwiches. The sandwiches are made with fresh ingredients and good bread, and they have options for low-carb diets. And of course, we always indulge in a homemade cookie (we can never resist).
We stopped into this iconic Panera Bread location that has been an eye-catching Seal Beach mainstay over the years. We ordered an Asiago cheese bagel with low-fat chives and onion cream cheese, a bacon, egg, and cheese on Ciabatta, an Americano, and a cup of regular coffee. The service was very fast, there were lots of booths to choose from, and the meal was very good. The carousel shape of the building lends itself to lots of all-around natural lighting, which makes for a relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed our morning visit.
Super Busy around lunch time. Food was good. And they really improved their ordering process by allowing people to order via their touchscreens. Saved about 10 minutes of waiting in line. There are a couple of things that they could improve on: There is no way of knowing when your food was ready so people were all standing by the counter. They had buzzers but they were all taken when I ordered. 2. When you're done eating you don't know where to take your plates and trays.
Used the self-serve kiosk to order takeout for 4 to avoid the line. Kiosk mirrors their website ordering system. Was unable to use website to order without waiting 2 hours and 35 minutes. Food was prepared to order and everything tasted as expected. There is not an adequate space to wait for your order within view of the preparation screen or hearing distance of the expediter without being in the way of servers and other customers.

Good food and pleasant staff. They seemed to be a little short staffed, so we had to stand in a long line to order at the only open register. The food also took a while to prepare, but it was good and fresh. Their handicap parking spots are in a difficult location to access the restaurant. You either have to snake your way through tables, chairs, and heaters, or you go the long way around to the doors.
I loved it because my love and I went there after having a great night and day together and he was so happy with what he ordered. Because I've it so much when he loves something, I am loving this restaurant now. Sorry, this is a biased review, in a very lovely way :
Panera Bread has a great Strawberry, Poppyseed Salad, with fresh chicken that 's very refreshing ! I Love the Fresh Cinnamon Bagel with Cream Cheese also ! Join the Sippers Club for unlimited Coffee, or Fountain Drinks and Tea for $10.99 monthly..
The food at this restaurant is always good and the atmosphere is great. The employees are very helpful. I wasn't a fan of Panera at first, but this restaurant has gradually won me over. I now love going here.

Great neighborhood place for breakfast lunch or even a light dinner. Food is consistently good and fresh. Sometimes there is a long wait for food or take out
Tip from Jay: The comfortable chairs near the bathrooms in the back corner of Panera Bread Seal Beach are very relaxing.
