Panera Bread is a restaurant known for its cozy atmosphere and commendable service. The food, including their grilled cheese and tomato soup, has received mixed reviews, with some customers finding it delicious and others describing it as just average. Panera Bread is recognized for its airy and toasted bread, as well as its variety of healthy salad options. The restaurant has also been praised for its generous donations to the homeless community.
Customers have noted that Panera Bread can be a bit expensive, but they are rarely disappointed with the quality of the food. The restaurant offers excellent sandwiches, salads, soups, and a variety of breads, scones, and cookies. However, some customers have expressed disappointment with the cinnamon rolls, finding them bland and not worth the price.
Panera Bread has recently made some changes to its menu, including the removal of tortellini and the change in preparation of the egg souffles, which are now microwaved. While these changes have been met with mixed reactions, the restaurant continues to offer a range of vegetarian options and delicious morning bakery goods.
Some customers have suggested that Panera Bread should reconsider its traditional drive-thru model, as it can defeat the purpose of ordering ahead and lead to longer wait times. They have proposed that the restaurant should instead focus on mobile order pickup, similar to the system used by Chipotle.
