Panera Bread

Absolutely thrilled with Panera's latest addition to their menu - The Bacon Avocado Melt. This sandwich is a delightful blend of flavors that has quickly become my new favorite. The applewood smoked bacon is perfectly crispy, offering a rich, smoky flavor that pairs wonderfully with the creaminess of the fresh avocado. The smoked gouda cheese adds a depth of flavor that is simply irresistible, melting perfectly into the other ingredients. The everything bagel seasoning blend brings a delightful crunch and flavor complexity that elevates the whole experience, while the chipotle aioli adds a subtle kick that ties everything together beautifully. It's evident that a lot of thought went into creating this melt, and it pays off with every bite. Whether you're a long-time Panera fan or looking for a new lunchtime favorite, the Bacon Avocado Melt is an absolute must-try. Five stars all the way!

It used to be my almost second home, I always felt welcomed and had nice experience here. Everything is so delicious and all staff members used to be friendly and helpful. Obviously not anymore. By the way internet connection is not working.

Really quick service, great food. I had the Margharita pizza. It was delicious. I also had a salad. They are very friendly and make sure you have a nice experience there.

Update: 01.29.24 We would like to see vegan options for the Value Duet! There are currently no vegan soups on the menu. Surely Panera's chefs could come up with a potato/lentil or garden veggie soup? Side Salad without cheese, eggs, or meat would be so easy to add to the menu! Greek Salad without cheese works for a Duet, but it's not offered currently. For Pick 2, ordering a Mediterranean bowl without cheese and half a Mediterranean salad or Greek salad is just way too expensive. Panera caters to healthy, fresh foods, but we would think that vegan recipes would be more in the spotlight than a vegetarian salad or sandwich that guests have to customize as a vegan. Food quality/freshness. & serving size much improved and appreciated on our weekend visit (01-28-24). Bread was really fresh, lettuce/cucumbers were very crisp, tomatoes were meh as large, tasteless tomatoes were subbed for grape tomatoes which are so much better. Hummus was still very sparse in Mediterranean sandwich. Since we don't get cheese, we don't feel like we should have to pay extra for more hummus. We ordered extra produce in sandwich pictured. Guests can select 5 free customizations from "none" to "extra," but additional charges apply for proteins, cheese, hummus & other spreads. Greek Salad with extra kalamata olives and Panera's Greek Dressing was also very fresh & delicious. Baguette included with sandwich and salad was fresh, other sides available. Downside was that floor by soda & lemonade counter had puddles from a leak in equipment! A rug was placed in front of soda machine & an air blower, but it wasn't sufficient. Water was everywhere, very dangerous, got my shoes wet. Assuming repair person unavailable over the weekend, so hope they'll get this resolved immediately Monday. Several tables had soiled dishes, napkins, and weren't wiped clean, as they hadn't been cleared. Apparently guests don't always do their part in bringing dishes to the dishpans provided on top of waste containers. We did not want to sit closely by others as some people were coughing, so it made it difficult to eat in when so many tables were not cleared. Went outside, but it was too windy, so we came back indoors. For reasons we don't understand, it was extremely cold inside on Sunday, Jan. 28th. We honestly think someone flipped the switch to air conditioning from heat by mistake because fans were running, as cold air was blowing. Many people still had their coats on, like us. Too bad because the meal itself was great, but the ambience was not at all up to par this time. Looks like they were having a bad day with the soda machine leaking and perhaps an issue with HAC system. Hope things are better for them (and therefore for the guests) soon. These things happen, we want to be patient & support local businesses. ............................................. This location usually has decaf even in the evenings, but if they don't, then just ask, as they are happy to make some fresh. We love that they have almond milk available on the condiments counter, along with cinnamon, especially on these recent cold days. Love having a microwave available for bread or to reheat coffee or hot tea. Not their fault that arugula has been discontinued from sandwiches & salads, but that was one reason we went to Panera. Wish they had vegan options besides hummous. A company that touts healthy, fresh food ought to have something for everyone. A vegan protein source, even tofu would do, would be welcomed, as well as at least a couple vegan pastry options! Dining room here is spacious, clean, with a calm, relaxed vibe. Free WiFi for those who are working or studying. Cashier was very pleasant, polite, and welcoming. Vegetarian options: Great for vegetarians, nothing specifically for vegans. Have to omit many dressings, cheese (on pretty much everything), eggs, dairy milk & butter, protein sources, so pretty much just left with a plain salad or Mediterranean bowl (adding a scoop of quinoa/chick peas/lentils) would be a good start for protein.

The food was alright. Panera in general had changed a lot since the last time I ate at a location.

I'm always happy with the food at Panera!
