Panera Bread

A very lovely eatery. Good coffee and wonderful baked goods.

French onion was excellent, but the Cuban sandwich was just okay. Overall, a very good value. However, when the loud kids from High School start arriving, the noise level can be deafening.

Great good that they made a commitment to a couple years ago to use all natural ingredients which is great. Kids love it too.

The food is always terrific and the people who work there are always nice & courteous. I am curious though why at lunchtime was there only 1 cashier trying so hard to take orders for a continuously long line. The manager was there. It would have taken him 5 minutes to ease the line for her. Finally someone else came and opened a register, but by then the line was pretty much gone. I think I waited at least 10+ minutes.

All the pastries I’ve sampled here are delicious. I highly recommend the Kitchen Sink cookie. It’s a favorite of mine. Also, the Tomato Basil Bread is a staple in my kitchen and Panera has a variety of great soups and salads to choose from. Every now and then I treat my team members to Panera, just because. They always rave about some of the same menu items I listed here plus more, like the Mini Scones.

Thank you to those dedicated employees who work here and care about pleasing the palates of their customers.
