Panera Bread

I meet here for meetings. This is a great place for it. The food is great and they have an amazing pumpkin spice coffee.

I go here all the time for lunch. They never disappoint!! I feel better when I eat their food too.

My daughter and I went there for soup in a bread bowl but they didnt have it so we just got chicken noodle and broccoli and cheddar soup. It was really good

We visited here a couple of weeks ago. The quality of our food was very good to excellent. I gave four stars instead of 5 because it seems like a sandwich should have had a little more meat to it.
HOWEVER, I do give 10 Stars to one of the young men who work there. I didn't catch his name but I caught his actions.
TWICE, the young man offered to assist an elderly gentleman using a walker. The first time I heard the young man ask the older fellow's daughter something. By what I could tell, the older gentleman had made his way to the restroom and had been gone for a while. The young man offered to go check on him. The daughter said she thought he'd be okay.
Eventually, the older gentleman shuffled back to his table. When he did, the young man came over and steadied the table to make sure it wouldn't tip when the older gentleman leaned on it.
The awareness, compassion, and kindness of this young man really impressed me. I thought to myself, "I should be more like this."

I have never been disappointed with Panera. Their salads, soups, and sandwiches are always fresh and made to order. The pick2 is such a great option. My only complaint is they seem to be giving smaller portions and the prices are more expensive than before. The salads are made with iceberg lettuce, which is cheaper than spinach, and probably makes it more cost efficient to use, but I wish they would use the better leafy options in ALL of their salads.
It is perfect for a couple's dinner or a group of ladies gathering, but is probably too pricey to feed a family and to satisfy young "tastes".
