Panera Bread is known for being a great place to study and grab a quick drink. The restaurant is spacious, clean, cozy, and warm, making it a popular spot for groups and friends to meet up. Customers appreciate the easy and contact-free ordering process, although some wish there was a drive-thru pickup option. The food includes popular items like bread, broccoli cheddar soup, and tomato soup, which are often enjoyed in a bread bowl. Many customers love the bakery sweets, especially the bread, and the avocado dishes are also appreciated. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff, including exceptional employees like Jordan, are friendly and kind. While the food is generally good, some items like the cappuccino coffee are just so-so, and recent changes mean they no longer carry bear claws, replacing them with an almond pastry. The prices are seen as high, but the overall experience remains positive, especially with the improved service and friendly environment.
