Panera Bread

This is a newer concept store so, it's a little different but, it's nice. The store is smaller and cozy but, no booths or cushioned seats, BUT ITS CLEAN!!!!!!! The coffee and soda machines are state of the art. The everything bagels were delicious and so was the coffee. The lady that waited on us at the front counter was very polite and nice and had a great smile. We got a chance to speak with the manager and he was so nice to take the time to speak with us and answer questions. We will definitely be back.

I've always enjoyed them. It was not busy at all. New location here is the Spring Branch/Bulverde area. Nice outdoor seating to enjoy the evening. We will be back

The butternut squash soup was pretty good… over $5 for this small cup. Tried the seasonal salad with chicken which was a good salad… However, the chicken is pre-cooked chicken sliced very thin and small portions but mostly the chicken is just low quality and kinda gross, IMO. The grilled chicken in other fast food options like whataburger and chick-fila are definitely better quality and that only says so much… lol

Food and service are good! My only complaint is the size of this location. It’s so small, limited seating. I didn’t realize Panera takes up only half of this building. The other half is still empty. There’s some seating outside but it’s not shaded! And only a couple of tables had umbrellas. *Editing my review to share the drink selection is much better than Creekside location in NB. All teas and lemonades are out over here, plus an iced coffee machine so to me, that makes up for the smaller size especially if you have the sip club.

I had some free time so I stopped in for a cup of coffee and a danish. The cashier was so helpful and so sweet. The coffee was perfect, and the pecan pastry was delicious! I also got 3 macaroons to go for later, and they were amazing!
