Panera Bread

Front Counter Excellence! Walked in, got greeted like a VIP, and before I knew it, I had fresh, delicious food in hand. The team was upbeat, the service was speedy, and the whole vibe was warm and welcoming. Panera, you nailed it. Thank you - Until next visit!

We utilized their larger meeting room and it was fantastic! Also had several items here previously. - Bacon Turkey Bravo Sandwich: Hearty, but on the lighter side. There was a ton of meat and a good balance of toppings that gave it a delightful flavor. - Ranch Parm BLT Salad: It was a rich and twangy flavor. There was only half an ounce of ranch for half a salad. I didn’t think it was enough until I ate it. It was plenty, actually (I like a lot of dressing). There were plenty of toppings (almost too much). - Ciabatta Cheesesteak Boxed Lunch: Good savory flavor with a bit of zesty sweetness. However, the sandwich arrived a bit cool. - Spicy Fiesta Chicken: Spicy! But very good. The sandwich looks inviting, happy and cheerful, but gives you a decent slap in the mouth of spice.

Daughter and I stopped for lunch before shopping. Good location with easy in and out parking. The girl who took our order was super nice. My daughter and her were complimenting each orders hair. The food was up fast and warm. They have an amazing live order system that tells you exactly where your order is. Everything was really good. A bit expensive, but it’s Panera bread and what isn’t expensive these days. It was still somewhat reasonable.

The portion sizes are too small for the price. Only came here because I had a gift card. The options on the menu just aren’t as good as they used to be 5 years ago. Probably won’t be back unless I get another gift card. I’d rather spend my $14 on fresh, local food prepared by real chefs and support local businesses. Panera’s focus on increasing profit margins has led to a decrease in overall quality, and it’s just not worth it to come here anymore. Service was good.

2 grilled cheese sandwiches, 1 deli sandwich, 3 cups of soup, and 2 drinks came to $53!!! The food was OK but definitely not worth the price and a small cup of soda is $4. The breakfast menu was still up so we had to go through our phones to find the menu to figure out what we wanted because breakfast was over and it was 11 AM. So we had no idea about the pick 2 and the server wasn’t volunteering any info. We came here because we had a gift card but we will not be back again. I understand prices have gone up when we go out to eat but this is just ridiculous.
