I found the atmosphere and staff excellent. The food was outstanding ! I have never been disappointed here. I love that they limit WiFi at their busiest time so rude people that linger just to use free WiFi will need to allow people who want to eat a place to sit. As well as soup and sandwiches I love the fresh bread and pastries. I know later in the evening they donate all that's left to churches and shelters. GREAT JOB !!!
Wonderful place to sit during "off" hours in peace and quiet and have my favorite soup!
Great experience! Ordering at the kiosk is so convenient. Our order was prepared and ready rather quickly, and during the lunch rush. Very impressed! Great customer service. Enjoyed their large outdoor patio seating on a nice summer day. Food was excellent!! I had the new green goddes cob salad (half), which was so flavorful and so very good. I paired that with the Flatbread pepperoni pizza, which was also very good. Overall fantastic experience!!
Panera bread has streamlined their business. Order and you are in and out. This is amazing. You can even order before you go in and your order will be ready when you walk in. It's excellent. However, when I was younger Panera Bread was known for being a cozy place, one that I would go study at. A place that my friends and I would go chit chat at. It has lost that feeling of comfort due to the fact that it is so streamlined. People make it comfortable, they come and they sit and they talk, but it's just different. It's just not as cozy. I congratulate Panera bread on their efficiency. However, I miss the old days as well. Welcome to the new way of life.
