Panera Bread

I enjoy the food here. They have healthier options than most restaurants. The atmosphere is nice. It's always clean inside and out and you can sit outside and eat on nice days. I eat a gluten free diet and they have a couple of good options for that.

This place is alright; standard Panera fare made well, but lines can be long and slow (often fewer cashiers than registers) and it's not always clean (in the dining room, that is-- I have no evidence that the kitchen is anything other than spotless, and you can pretty easily see in there). There is a fruit fly problem in the rear dining area, too, so.... watch it back there. I mention this mostly because it's been the case every visit, not just a one-off experience. I'd recommend ordering ahead and to-go for the best outcome here.

Delicious options. Love the summer salads and sandwiches. The flavored ice teas and lemondades are great...some are 0 calorie options which is a plus. Very efficient service especially during lunch rush. Staff was cleaning tables very quickly after patrons left. Bathroom was very clean and a changing table was present.

My granddaughter loves the mac n cheese. I purchase dozens of bagels from Panera and have them pre sliced. They are always fresh and delicious. I also purchase a loaf of the whole wheat bread sliced thick. It makes great peanut butter toast!
