Panera Bread

I really enjoy the atmosphere, the prices are high but the food is great.

The food is great, normally. The service and drive-through are usually slow. And the prices are a bit high for half a sandwich and a soup. I’m not sure the exact price but I expect to spend it at least $12 after-tax.

They do offer delivery. Which is great but it does make an already expensive for what you get, usually a soup and a sandwich, even more so. You will definitely pay for the convenience of delivery if you choose to go that route. Which is why I typically only go there if I am passing by it once in a great while.

I would like to go there more often if their prices were a bit more competitive or if the service was, at least, just a bit quicker. I don’t mind waiting a little longer, perfection takes time and all that, as they say, but for the price. I would expect them to be a little quicker.

We've been to plenty of Panera locations around the country, but what puts this one (near where we live) into 5 stars is the drive-through. Most Panera locations we've encountered do not have a drive-through window, and this alone is a lifesaver on a hectic morning. The usual coffee shops can offer you great coffee, but very little in the form of tasty breakfast food, like sandwiches and those delicious souffles, and that's where Panera shines. It's not perfect as a restaurant (no place is), it's not the fastest (although these folks are reasonably quick most days), but it is our favorite option when we need a good start to the day.

Went here for some soup and salad, food was great. Enjoyed the bread as well. Service was speedy and efficient while staff was fine. They have a drive thru at this location which is neat. Parking is good and location is convenient.
