Both of these orders are super delicious and really filling. They’re my go-to in the mornings. The croissant egg & cheese hits every time. The buttery croissant with extra folded eggs, melty American cheese, fresh arugula, tomatoes, sweet peppers, and that chipotle aioli just works. It’s warm, savory, and keeps me full for hours. I usually pair it with the passion fruit papaya green tea, which is light, refreshing, and not too sweet — perfect balance. The chipotle chicken, egg & avo sandwich is my other favorite. It’s hearty without feeling heavy. The chicken, egg, avocado, extra arugula, tomatoes, and garlic aioli make it super satisfying and packed with flavor. Same green tea on the side, and I’m set. Bonus: ♿️ Accessibility is no issue here as it’s located on the ground floor, making

We had a really good experience at this Panera Bread located in Chester. Everything was good taste wise and felt fresh. The guy at the counter was really helpful and gave us an explanational service. We tried coffee , sandwiches , bagels etc. and all of them were good as expected. ✅️

I have been here several times and they are always consistently delicious. It is a clean place for dining inside or out and there is always plenty of seating. Recently I ordered breakfast pick-up for a larger group. Took a little longer as they had to brew the coffee for the to-go box, so if you are on a schedule, I’d call or leave notes saying so. That being said, the order was correct and everything was fresh and good. This is a location I would continue going to for breakfast or lunch.

12/13/24 Service has improved. All orders were delivered on time and were accurate. Good was good and fresh. Staff is friendly. Update 10/27/24. We have placed a large order. No fully satisfied with it: - no arugula in sandwich - one of fruit cups was half empty. - soup in the bread - ordered potato, got french onion. I strongly recommend checking order for accuracy. Restaurant was not busy during our visit. Good place to get a meal. All the ingredients are definitely fresh. When we visited, the place was mostly empty (around 11 am) so it took no time from the moment we ordered until we received our food. WiFi is free, plenty of parking (free). Drive thru is available.

We placed our order. Young people in back preparing orders. They were laughing, carrying on throwing stuff at each other. Putting their hands to their mouths. Little young girl kept wiping her hands on her shirt. They forgot part of our order, bagel and cream cheese. My wife went up and asked the young people about the missing bagel & cream cheese. She went back up to the register to ask the woman who took our order but she was no where to be found. My wife went back to pickup counter but got no help. While she went back up again to register to find the woman who took our order. I then went up to pickup counter and looked in. I found the woman who took our order. She had her cellphone out showing something to 3 of the young. They were are just standing laughing. I hollered at them for o
