Panera Bread offers a range of food options that customers generally find acceptable, although some feel the portions could be more generous and the prices are on the high side. The coffee service has seen some improvements, but customers still report occasional long wait times and machine malfunctions. The morning staff, particularly one friendly employee, are commended for their welcoming and positive attitudes. The drive-thru remains a popular feature, allowing customers to order from their cars and choose healthier meal options. Service speed through the drive-thru is often praised, with friendly staff making the experience pleasant. One employee, Kareem, received special mention for providing perfect and friendly service, and customers appreciated that their orders were accurate. However, some customers have expressed dissatisfaction with certain meals, like the Philly Steak Sandwich, which they found lacking in meat and not worth the price. Several reviews highlight the kindness and dedication of staff members, such as Athena, who went above and beyond by acting heroically during a dangerous situation, saving a customer's life. The team at Panera Bread includes young workers who are learning responsibility and often face unfair treatment from some customers. Despite occasional mistakes, the staff are approachable, willing to listen, and eager to fix issues. Customers appreciate the positive atmosphere and see the restaurant as a good fast food place that is continually improving. Overall, Panera Bread's friendly employees, drive-thru convenience, and willingness to serve make it a place worth visiting regularly.
