Panera Bread in Naperville

“I remember when this location first opened and it was great. Again, it reminds me of a Starbucks where when it first opened, it was all the craze, but now corners and floors and sections are sticky and dusty. If you look up, almost all the lighting fixtures have layers of dust on them. The seating section has high tops, booths, tables, and a variety of options, but there’s no covered seating outside. I get the whole concept of ordering on the kiosk, but still, I think it backs up the front area as some people are still not comfortable are with the app/kiosk order method. The food pick up area is well staffed and runs smoothly. Food is solid. Today, 2 smoothies, 2 bagels, and 2 soups/mac were about $40. I think this is pricey….“

“Panera is especially good if you want something lighter or fresher than typical fast food, like salads, soups, and sandwiches, but still need the speed and convenience of quick service. It’s also a solid choice for casual coffee dates, low‑key meetings, or a simple place to relax with a pastry and your laptop.“

“I absolutely love their frontaga or however you spell it sandwich, but a sandwich and a cup of soup for $20 low key wilding. It’s great tho, hate the price…still gonna come back. They get a star reduction tho cuz she forgot a spoon for my soup
