Broccoli cheddar soup is to die for - turkey bravo is delicious! You Pick 2 is my #goto
I have lunch there often with my best friend. It's always busy but very efficient. The staff is friendly and the food is always great! It's nice that we can sit down and have the food brought to us. Always a good experience!
Held a quick business lunch meeting at this location. I forget that this one is still called the old brand name. And the store is a bit more styled like the original BreadCo. I miss the old BreadCo menu and feel. But regardless this location was perfect for my meeting. The food was excellent and service was great!

St. Louis Bread Co., also known as Panera, has received feedback regarding its ordering and payment process. Customers place and pay for their orders, then collect their food and drinks, and clean up after themselves. There have been reports of long wait times for orders. While the food is described as okay, the customer service is often noted as amazing. Some customers have faced issues with electronic gift cards, including one who was told their card could not be used before the stated date, resulting in a loss of associated bonuses. The restaurant's practice of asking for tips has drawn criticism, especially given the high level of customer involvement in ordering and cleaning.
In recent experiences, staff members have been reported as friendly and helpful. One customer shared a specific incident where their pick-up order was accidentally taken, but the staff quickly remade the order without complaint. This location has been noted for having more reliable service compared to other STL area locations. Another customer highlighted a staff member named Rachel, praising her dedication to improving the dining experience for both new and long-term customers. The restaurant is appreciated for being an excellent place to eat, study, or relax, with a tranquil atmosphere and friendly service. However, there have been mentions of the caramel latte often lacking caramel, resulting in a bitter taste. The bathrooms are described as clean, though slightly dated, and parking is generally ample.
