Rather tucked away Panera Bread in the corner of a plaza with REALLY long lines during lunch hours. Truthfully, if you're coming into this area for food and want to get a sandwich, Wegman's makes some of the best subs I've ever tasted (and they're right across the street); however, if you're studying (like moi) and in need of WiFi, then Panera's would be the right choice.
Perhaps I was just extremely hungry that day or their portions are a little smaller than others in the area, but I wolfed down my Pick 2 combo items and was still hungry for more (mind you, I also tore apart that piece of whole grain bread they include on the side too).
Prices are the same, I believe (definitely under $10) and I got the Mediterranean Veggie 1/2 sandwich and Cream of Tomato Soup. They were okay, nothing to brag about. It is the same Panera's quality I would expect everywhere although I did notice the guy prepping the food was very haphazard in pouring the soups and what not and just let it run down the sides of the soup cup/bowl.
It may just be your typical Panera Bread chain, but it is large and clean and the food is always consistent. More importantly, I can't recall ever having a time where we've had trouble finding a available table that was clean to sit at.
Came here to eat before shopping. Everyone was every friendly, and it was clean. Sometimes Paneras are a hit or miss but this one is a good one.
Ordering was fast and effortless, and they did not mess up the order..yay! A special thanks to Alexis who went out of her way to ask what color tulip cookie my daughter wanted. She was so friendly and her smile radiated warmth!
We will come to this Panera again when in the area.
This place is so convenient for the area, though it can be extremely busy at times because of the shared parking with other stores in the plaza. I've been coming here for the last 5 year or so and they are always very pleasant. The food is always fresh and made to order. My usual is the power breakfast sandwich and the frozen mocha. Later in the day I really enjoy the swiss with ham on rye with either soup (the half & half special) or a salad. Only thing I will say is that the salads generally are smothered in the dressing, which if you're someone who enjoys that then it'll be fine. But if you're more like me, lighter side of dressing its irksome and I end up never finishing the whole portion. Overall I enjoy coming here to go over school work, especially on rainy days. During the nice weather you can sit outside at the small patio tables to sit at and people watch.
Good staff. Quick with orders and can slice a long line of customers in half like a samurai.
I almost never go to Panera, because it's right in the same shopping plaza as Wegmans. And I'll take Wegmans food over Panera most days. But I was craving their mac and cheese, because I wasn't feeling well and needed some comfort food.
They're starting to change this Panera into one of the tablet ordering locations, where they can fire half their staff but still take the same number of customers. You know the type. You have to order everything on a touchscreen, like in a Wawa or QuickChek. I like the idea of the speed, but I hate that probably a lot of people are going to lose their jobs when the changeover fully happens.
I do like that they now offer to bring your food to you, kind of like Hardees does. You get a little placard with a number on it, and one of the cooks brings your tray to you. It's a nice touch for a fast food place, letting you grab a table and not have to worry about standing around, waiting for your name to be called. And they've streamlined the online ordering, there's a little shelf where you just grab your food and go.
Lots of little changes added up make Panera better, but they're still too overpriced for the amount and quality of food, in my opinion.
Bread. Lemonade. Cinnamon roll.
The four stars aren't for this location in particular, but all Panera Breads! When you are in the middle of nowhere, and only chain restaurants and fast foods are around, I would definitely pick Panera Bread!
Obviously this isn't gourmet, but this is like the best of the worst! And you know sometimes you just want some bad food!!
Always enjoy this place for lunch. However seenit open for breakfast. The Cherry Danish is so so so very good. The expensive small oj just reminded me where I was.
But a good place for a Healthy morning meal
