Went to panera today got the kale salad and a cinnamon bun the kale salad was mostly STEMS! No leafy greens! Highly disappointed they've gotten lazy. The bun looked like it shrunk!

I can never go wrong with a cup of brocoli cheddar soup, a turkey sandwich and a side of fresh bread. This 99.9% of the time is also accompanied with a sit down chat with either a very good friend or my mom (who is also a very good friend. ha) I can't help associating Panera with a time to relax and catch up with someone very dear to me. The best part about this place is that I can count on it being good wherever my heart leads me. I have yet to find a town that downplays Panera's wonderful food selection. Though I'm sad that the prices have gone up (minus one star for THAT fact.) Overall, I am always up for meeting at Panera. Want to gossip about work? Chat about boys? Plan a future trip? Yep, Panera is the place.

Serving up the quality you expect out of a panera. Especially considering I just dished out nearly $13 for a sandwich/soup combo with a drink. Okay, okay... I got a cookie, too! But that's still pricey. I consider the fact that I'm staying around to study, so I figure I'm paying for the study location as well. All in all... Seems like a good location. :)

I'll have the Four Cheese Egg Souffle for breakfast, the Broccoli Cheddar Soup for lunch, and the Pasta Bolognese with a greek salad for dinner. Yes, I could live here. Plenty of tasty items for any meal or time of day served in a clean and bright cafe. Great staff.

I'm a longtime fan of Panera Bread, a nationwide chain that serves up healthier than usual fast casual food with friendly service and a friendly, inviting vibe. I've always considered this particular location, however, to be on the low-end of the Panera chain because the atmosphere is always just a little less inviting, the employees just a little less friendly, and even the food manages to be not quite up to the almost always consistent Panera standard. During today's visit, which was my effort to finally have that nice and relaxing meal that didn't quite happen during last night's visit to The North End Moonshine & BBQ, Panera had already lost one star before I even made it to the ordering counter when I couldn't even manage to get in their front door in my wheelchair without bumping a magazine rack that had either been placed incredibly badly or wasn't being monitored appropriately. I got to the counter, ordered my food (my standard "go to" meal here is the turkey on country bread w/chips and an Acai Berry Iced Tea), and went down to find a table. I will admit that I occasionally find Panera as a chain to be a tad frustrating because their design isn't particularly wheelchair friendly. This is especially true if they're crowded, but today I arrived just after the lunchtime rush and was able to find a decent spot. There were a couple rather unusual issues of note - 1) The table was dirty and 2) The beverage area was cluttered. This is unusual for Panera as they usually keep on top of things, but I'm guessing they hadn't made it out from the lunch rush. Have I mentioned how much I dislike their tall counters where you pick up food? Again, they aren't wheelchair friendly. At my usual Panera, I can always depend on assistance if needed. At this Panera, there's barely even an acknowledgement you're at the counter. They'd forgotten the bag of chips, but at least fixed that one right away. Panera has plenty of accessible parking, though I have noticed fairly consistently that it's not used appropriately (ie, individuals without appropriate ID park there). The food itself was good, though the bread was just a touch hard and the cinnamon roll I picked as a $.99 bakery item tasted like it had been out for awhile. It wasn't so much that either one was bad, but they simply weren't as good as usual and considering Panera is a bit more expensive than most fast or fast casual places, I do expect consistency. I did accomplish my mission of being able to enjoy my magazines, relax with a meal, and soak in some quiet. That was great and I was also surrounded by several really friendly customers who made the experience even more pleasant. Overall, this Panera's is much more like a 3-star experience for a chain that usually receives a 4-star from me.

This is a pretty standard Panera. I have been here several times and have not seen it overly crowded or had a problem finding a seat. The service is friendly and the food comes together pretty quickly. All in all, I'd say this is a great Panera. Don't leave without trying the broccoli cheddar soup with a sourdough roll on the side!

Panera Bread is Panera Bread I would say that they do have good specials when you do the choose two. And it's never really crowded in there I've went before to get lunch and to get away from the house to do homework so it's a good idea to have free WiFi in there.
