Panera Bread offers customer-friendly service, with ample seating space, vegetarian options, and an excellent location near Waters Ave on Suncoast Parkway. The restaurant features 3 self-ordering kiosks that help ensure quick service, making it a convenient stop for those heading to Disney or Universal Studios. Customers appreciate the option to order 1/2 a sandwich, and the chicken used is often described as very fresh and tasty. The new Pick 2 menu allows for different combinations of soup, sandwich, and salad, providing variety for diners. Although the restaurant can get busy, with food sometimes taking longer than usual, the food is generally prepared in about 5 minutes after ordering. Customers enjoy the fresh fruit salad and the soup served inside bread, which they find comforting and calming. Some note that the restaurant's prices are high for the portion sizes, and smoothies tend to receive negative feedback, while drinks like green tea are enjoyed. The restaurant is also known for its friendly service, but some customers linger after finishing their meals, occupying space for other diners. Overall, Panera Bread is considered a nice joint in the area, offering a relaxing atmosphere for studying and casual dining.
