“This is Panera with a drive through. Same great standard menu.
Today we grabbed a coffee which is cool because I can mix my own from a few varieties and I go half decaf with mixing in a dark roast with a hazelnut twist. The tea station offers 3 blends. I chose almond milk over 2% or half n half. Of course I choose a cinnamon roll covered in do much glaze that it looked like the cinnamon roll was incognito. The flavor was great !

“I’d like to take a moment to sincerely compliment the staff at the Clearwater Mall Panera Bread. They are consistently warm, friendly, and genuinely good-hearted people. I’ve personally witnessed their kindness on several occasions. One example that stands out involves a man with special needs who frequently visits the store. He wears a green t-shirt, often talks to himself, and can sometimes be loud. The staff always treat him with patience and respect. What truly speaks volumes is how they show kindness even when they think no one is watching—never a dismissive gesture or glance, just consistent, quiet compassion. In a world where kindness can be rare, the team at this Panera Bread sets a beautiful example. Their attitude makes this location feel welcoming and comforting—almost like a second home. I especially enjoy stopping by for a coffee after a long day of meetings. Thank you to the entire team for the warmth and respect you show to everyone who walks through your doors.“
