Panera Bread

Small Panera Bread shop but it is in a good location being part of the shopping center. At times, have excellent cookie options! Oh, best parking location is behind the building.

I haven't been to Panera bread for years. My husband and I decided to go here for lunch. I got the pick 2 with salad and sandwich. And my husband got the pick 3 with soup in a bread bowl and sandwich. It was pretty good. I also got a mango smoothie which I was highly disappointed with. It didnt taste like mango at all. Not even a hit. Nor was it well blended. Still had huge chunks of ice you could see in the cup. Not smooth at all. The cashier didn't seem happy to be there. But it was pretty decent.

This was one of those times I had planned to stick around for a while and get things done on their WiFi. I often use the rapid pickup their ordering app and it's great. Today I stayed and didn't feel rushed as they had ample room for the Saturday crowd. Manager quickly opened up another checkout line when it started to get long which was nice. The bagels and souffles are always great. I wish they still had berry flavored cream cheese and so do my kids.

We bring the kids here for dinner cause they have plenty of seating with lots of room. Food is always delicious. I got the Chipotle chicken avocado full sandwich and it was great, not spicy (used to be more spicy a while ago) and the bread on my sandwich was great, crispy but not overdone. The workers were friendly and food came out quick. This place is also always clean and a nice relaxed atmosphere.

This Panera location is easy to spot from rt 3 south. Don't waste your time trying to park out front, there is a big parking lot right out back. Service is quick and food is good. A nice place to have a one to one business meeting with good seating locations if you need a bit of privacy. Nice shops within walking distance so you can get groceries, catch a movie, or ship boxes right in the same complex.
