I've always enjoyed great food and service at the various Panera locations I've visited. All the bread I've had there is good. The Asiago cheese bagel - toasted with cream cheese - is a must. Chicken soup is some is the best I've had outside of homemade. The creamy tomato soup is great. Bread bowls are really good with all of them. I really miss the shortbread cookies - best I've had. Hope they bring them back at some point. Coffees and teas are really good too.

Pleasant gathering spot for many occasions. Staff is always helpful. Love the Lattes! Their Bread used to make their sandwiches is delicious.

Panera Team Members are friendly and efficient. They often have pickup orders ready much sooner than the promised time. The drive thru is always moving along quickly. The food is generally good, but the coffee is less than stellar. The iced coffee, especially, has a weak and generic taste. First thing in the morning, it's still hot and always melts the ice. I don't often go inside, but Panera feels like it needs a refresh. It just doesn't have the "come in" and "stay a while" feeling anymore. I feel like there is a definite separation/lack of engagement between the indoor team and guests. These are common to all Panera locations, in fact, the one being reviewed is one of the best in the area.

Haven't been to Panera in a long time, but the flatbread pizza I had for lunch was awesome. The brownie was delicious too! The meals we ordered were good. Unfortunately, there was a strange object found inside my chocolate croissant... not sure what it was, maybe the finger of a glove?

Ok... so real quick, I love me some Panera HOWEVER I absolutely did not, did not, did not enjoy the white cheddar steak sandwich. It's 100% my fault. I wanted to try something new (I generally love everything). But I also did not pay attention to what came between those ciabatta buns... HORSERADISH SAUCE!! Um... Eww!! Not for me. *whew* ok, now... as for my go-to (which has NEVER failed me in my 32yrs. I like to give a hoo-raah to my Bacon Turkey Bravo. Yes Lawd!! Plus I asked if they could throw a few slices of avocado in the assembly of that good ole' sammich. (Yes, I said SAMMICH. Gotta put some "stank" on it. Carrying on... y'all, the liquid gold (not cheese) but AGAVE LEMONADE!!! *Heavenly Father I...take...this...moment* YES!! I love the freshness of everything at Panera. It's like tasting the sun & licking the wind (in a delicious way). Mmmm... and don't underestimate the pickle spear. Not soft and soggy but having the right crunch is everything. Yeah, they did that. Panera DID THAT! #MakeMeTheSpokesPerson #Panera #PaneraBread #QualityFood
