Panera Bread is a restaurant that offers a consistent dining experience. One reviewer found the basement location "neat" and "cool," while another mentioned having a pleasant visit. The restaurant was clean, and the service was friendly and fast, with some customers noting the quality was consistent with other Paneras. The bread and soup were highlighted as great, and the restaurant appears larger than others, often open later, with staff sometimes offering free pastries near closing time.
Recent reviews praise the friendly staff and correct preparation of orders, especially during visits between workout classes. The Spring 2025 Menu includes a Croissant Bread Sandwich (Ham Version) that is rich in flavor yet surprisingly low in calories, with decadent, buttery bread that pairs well with smoky ham and a creamy sauce reminiscent of béchamel. The Strawberry Caprese Salad is simple, fresh, and features sweet strawberries, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, arugula, balsamic dressing, and pecan pieces, creating a flavorful and feel-good salad. The Mexican Street Corn Chowder, a returning favorite, is slightly sweet but has a depth of flavor from poblano and chili peppers, with a chunky texture that appeals to those who like a thick soup. The Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad Sandwich is mild and simple, with soft rustic white bread, dried cranberries, spring greens, and a hint of sweetness, though some find it a bit bland and wish for more creative toppings. Overall, Panera Bread continues to provide a pleasant dining experience with good food, friendly service, and a clean environment.
