This morning @the E 56th Street store( which I attend every Wednesday morning with my friend ( who is handicapped) the employees were exhibiting negative body language, inattentiveness and lack of eye contact. it felt as though they were annoyed at our presence. I would suggest that better training and performance reviews might be in order.

Panera Bread is a popular spot for those familiar with its offerings, and it continues to be a go-to for fresh, healthy meals served in a relaxed café-style environment. For newcomers, navigating the self-service model can be overwhelming, but the restaurant excels in its soup options and has a variety of choices available. The Fuji Apple salad is a standout, being fresh and packed with ingredients, and it can be customized with a substitute fruit. The bakery items are also a highlight, featuring great treats like frosted cookies and sandwiches.
Recently, customers have praised the Grilled Chicken & Avo BLT with chips for being freshly made and well-prepared. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a great choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner with kids and adults alike. The You Pick Two option is recommended for adults, allowing them to pair a half sandwich, half salad, or soup. A popular combination is the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt with a cup of Broccoli Cheddar Soup, which is warm and flavorful.
Panera Bread also offers a great children’s menu with smaller, healthier portions, like the Grilled Cheese with a side of fresh fruit and Mac & Cheese. The variety of menu options, the ability to customize meals, and the relaxed dining atmosphere make it family-friendly. While the speed of service may be slow at times, the cleanliness of the facility and the helpful staff, including the new morning manager, have made a positive impression on visitors. However, there are occasional issues with missing items in orders, but the staff are always kind and quick to resolve them.
Overall, Panera Bread is a reliable choice for families wanting fresh food, affordable pricing, and a restaurant where everyone can find something they enjoy. With options for online ordering and delivery, it remains a convenient choice for those who appreciate quality meals in a relaxed environment.
