Panera Bread

I like it's predictability and freshness, but at the same time, if you aren't familiar with the menu, it can be hard to decide while standing at the counter as descriptions, if there are any, are brief, and there are no photos. Prices are higher than they should be ($7 for 1/2 Asian Chicken salad and water). No one spoke to me or checked on me after I ordered, and they weren't busy at all. Panera, you're good, but you can do better.

Panera Bread is always great, and yesterday was no exception. I took my son there to eat dinner. We decided to get Mac and Cheese for my son and got the Summer Corn Chowder for me. Both meals tasted great and the side of bread was perfect with the soup. We sat out on the covered patio, which in the summer heat should be pretty hot, but instead it was nicely shaded and cool. The service was friendly and made the overall experience exceptional.

Great food. The French onion soup was a little too sweet, but still delicious. Atmosphere was very nice with quiet areas you can find if you prefer. Will return.

This was our gathering spot for morning meetings and the staff here is superb. I really appreciate Amber who works there 5a-1p. The whole crew is awesome!!

I got the pick 2 half Turkey and avocado and BLT sandwich and a half salad which was a strawberry poppy seed salad. The sandwich was good but will try something else, but for the salad was mouthwatering! It was so good with lettuce strawberry blueberries pecans chicken mandarin oranges and pineapple. The poppy seed dressing so good!!! Will get that again. And if it's your first time there be aware it is a bit pricey but it is good. I know their bread bowls are good and same with their cookies!!
