Panera Bread

Coffee was smooth and not burnt. Amazing soup. Amazing italiano. Bread bowls are way to go!!! First time in a decade and regret not coming back sooner.

Updated Review: Unfortunately my updated review resulted in a lower score than before. The food was not very good. I ordered a bowl of French onion soup and a sausage and cheese bagel. Both were very bland and bordering on cold. Panera Bread is not my favorite place to eat. They have a good variety on the menu but they need to do better preparing the food. We stopped here for lunch and lattes. After making many mistakes and sending the food back three times we wound up with a decent lunch and a yummy latte. The service is slow and not very effective.

The service is always welcoming and friendly. Tonight, I came in for the new dipper sandwich. We both picked the steak over the chicken. The amount of steak pieces we got would NOT have created the thickness of a McDonald's burger patty. We basically had a bread sandwich. I'm very disappointed. 😔 We also had to put our dip sauce together to form one serving that would be high enough to dip the bread into. (not calling it a sandwich at this point) .

I usually order to-go but we decided to eat-in this time. Happy they brought back the chicken salad. They were out of the bread that is normally included with it so I ordered the ciabatta. I couldn't believe how little chicken salad they put on my sandwich. I brought it back up to the counter & nicely told the woman that this amount "isn't really acceptable." She proceeded to tell me that was the correct portion size. I don't know a single person (Panera employees included) that would be okay with paying/receiving this to eat. I did convince her to give me one more scoop but she treated me like a criminal for even asking. Give people what they're paying for! The food is good but I've noticed skimpy portions more & more.

Gloried hospital food eatery? I remember when Panera opened its doors at the cherry hill location. I use to love this place. Today I ordered a BBQ chicken sandwich, along with a French Onion soup. The sandwich was decent, I should of told them to hold the red onions. The outside part of the sandwich was crisp but the insides were very soft. The light BBQ sauce is a great touch to the sandwich. The French onion, in my French oniony opinion, was a little too oniony, and packed with crotons. But I served its purpose to keep me warm during these rigid temps. Will come back when it’s convenient, or when the wife last minutes decides not to cook as we leave Sam’s club.
