Breakfast Menu "Panera Bread" Normal

End of January 2023 righ when I was ready to give up Panera forever...they introduced toasted baguette...I got green goddess, it was absolutely amazing, super delicious! Pic included. Update as of January 2023: I don't believe a word that sign says. As someone who's been going to Panera since grad school years, I must just admit the food gets worse each time we visit. It is way overpriced for the low quality it has. Awful food! We go only when we have to. In summary: Nice staff, great location and atmosphere, AWFUL food! Old comment: At times, too busy, you can wait forever, avoid lunch on Sat/Sun. Still understaffed, the kitchen staff are working way too hard...napkins were out once & they had a bathroom roll (see pic). The gentleman who cleans & and collects the dishes is too nice, an iconic character in this place.

Panera Bread continues to build on their success of a more complete menu of sandwiches, salads, soups and mac, warm bowls, flatbread pizzas , sides and spreads, beverages and breakfast, and a line of baked goods. Once known for their made from scratch meals the company has switched to a streamline commercial approach that eliminates artificial preservatives, sweeteners and flavors from all their products. Staying true to their to bakery roots trained bakers continue to stock the shelves with freshly baked cookies, pastries, bagels, and a range of breads. One of my go to favorites is their You Pick Two, with a choice of a half sandwich, soup, salad, pizza and/or warm bowl. My first choice was the Half Toasted Frontega Chicken with smoked, pulled chicken, fresh mozzarella, salt and pepper, sliced tomatoes and red onions, fresh basil and chipotle sauce on Black Pepper Focaccia. Toasted on the outside with flavorful ingredients and a little extra tang on the inside. Second was the Half Asian Sesame Salad with Chicken. Chunks of cold chicken, crisp romaine, cilantro, toasted almonds, sesame seeds and wonton strips tossed in Asian sesame vinaigrette. Salad was fresh with all the right healthy ingredients. A chunk of French Baguette is one of the free sides and an enjoyable treat with its hearty chewy crust and soft inside. Standard interior with adequate seating, patio dining, self pay kiosks, soda and drink fountain, coffee bar and plenty of baked goods on display. Overall dining area was in need of a good cleaning as dirty tables went unattended and bored staff stood behind the counter.

Food was good and service was friendly and prompt. However this location needs a total remodel! It is a popular placec and the wear and tear shows it. The tables are worn and many are wobbly. The carpet is worn to the point of looking dirty all the time. The lack of regular maintenance shows and the overall cleanliness of the resturant is concerning.

Not the first time they forgot items in my mobile app order. Missing my 2 bags of chips, and the small bag of croutons that comes with Panera duet barely had any in it. Today sadly I don't have the time to drive back there and deal with it. Edit: Also the BBQ sandwich has 2 pieces and barely a 1/2 tiny piece of chicken in it. Drastic difference from when I first started getting this and in comparison to the Bloomington location. Every time I order here the quality and size of all the ingredients (bread, onion, chicken, sauce) seem to decrease. Look at the image.

Fresh ingredients make this a healthier alternative when dining out, but it is pricey. Only one of the 4 kiosks was functional, so ordering was delayed. Food took a l-o-n-g time to come, and the soups were only lukewarm. Sandwiches were good, and the fruit cup was exceptionally fresh and delicious.

Always pretty good. The subscription is nice, but the iced coffee tasted pretty weak. I'll definitely try it again, maybe it was a bad batch. Teas and lemonades are good and their food is very consistent.

Started out as a 1 star, but finished way better. Not sure if it was the manager that helped. Let's just say she was experienced. Went thru the drive thru and every previous car seemed to take a long time ordering. It wasn't until I got my chance to order that I found out why. The gentleman taking the order let's just say he needs more practice. It went from frustrating to comical after a while. When I got to the "pay" window that's when the experienced woman came in for the save. I inquired about what my order was and after she repeated to me, I asked if we could just start over. She got my order correct and tossed in a couple of Bearclaws to boot. Even the gentleman that brought our food to the car was pleasant. Would have been 5 stars for sure, but 15plus minutes at the drive thru was to long. Still would go back but would order inside.

My family and I love this Panera. The food is good, the place is clean and nice. Sometimes if you go in the evenings they might have ran out of bread though.
