Panera Bread

We were there for lunch. We love their Pick Two menu. I usually go with the Turkey Sandwich, Baggett and Broccoli Cheese Soup. I sometimes opt for a pecan roll for an extra dollar with the Pick Two. The food is a little pricey, but good.

Place is so great. Behind the counter smells so good. All the bread is made fresh daily. Coffee drinks are the best around. The the food always delicious and hot n fresh!!! Try one of their Mac dishes or a soup in a bread bowl and you will fall in love with this place.

Good food and good customer service. My children and I were in East Peoria for a Tumbling competition. We went here for dinner to take back to the hotel. The food was good but when we got back to the hotel my salad was missing. When I called to speak with a manger they were apologetic and offered for me to pick it up. It was snowing out so I declined. She said since we were not locals she could mail me a voucher for a free you pick two or I could come the next day to pick it up. Great customer service. They even gave me a free drink.

Whats not to love about Panera? Best soups, best sandwiches, best bagels. I always like what I get to eat here, and I love their selection of teas as well. Plenty of seating, even when they are busy. I can't say this location is as clean as it could be. Several times I have had to wipe my own table off. U don't really seem to get very much for the price, but its consistently delicious.
