Panera Bread

I ordered the toasted Italiano and asked for some sauce on the side…honestly, don’t even bother. The sauce containers are already tiny and they barely put anything in them. On top of that, the bread was super soggy from I guess the dressing and disappointing (it was not even a 5 minute drive home). Definitely not worth it. I do however enjoy their teas!

I ordered the whole size Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt which cost $13 after tax and rounding up, with multiple modifications. All sauces on the side. The online app is easy to order on. With great updates to tell you when your order is ready with an easy drive thru pick up. The employee was very pleasant. My order was on time and correct. The balsamic vinegarette was my favorite. Would definitely get this again. The salsa Verde spread was spicier than expected but not in a bad way. But I also don't need it again. The chipotle aioli was smokey. I'd be ok with it again. I swapped out the white cheddar for mozzarella, at no additional charge. I added tomatoes, caramelized onions, and pepperonchini. The black pepper bread was fresh and crispy. There was nice size slices of avocado. The caram

I have the Sip Club membership at Panera, so I'm there a few times a week to pick up drinks. The drive-through cashiers are always cheery and kind. They have several good vegetarian options which I appreciate. There is always plenty of indoor seating. They have a few outdoor tables in the front of the restaurant for when the weather is nice. Service is always fast inside the store, and I never have to wait long for my order to come up. Food is always hot when it's supposed to be. The baked good are almost always fresh and moist, but I have had dry bread once, and a couple of dry cookies, but overall I'm very happy with the food I've received. It's a convenient location with ample parking available.

Panera just isnt what it used to be. Blueberry lemonade was terrible, sandwich was terrible, the salad i got was good (but had to use dressing from home since they didnt include it) They dont sell the sugar cookies they were known for - or at least they are out literally every time ive come here in the last few years. Such a shame because this place used to be amazing, even when orders would get messed up. Now my order is mostly okay and it still sucks...

Got the Pick 2 : Mac and cheese and the southwest chicken salad and a baguette. The Mac and cheese was warm and delicious. The southwest chicken salad came with Tortilla chips, tomatoes, avacado, corn, chicken and southwest sauce and I asked for ranch as well it was good but I needed more sauce . The baguette was tough to eat but I dipped it in my Mac and cheese to add some moisture. Overall 4 out of 5 stars.
