Panera Bread in Erie

“Expensive meal. One kids meal and child was given options for sides. I was never told some were an upcharge. I had soup and water, cost over $21. Register girl was not helpful.

Kid-friendliness: Beware! the fruit cup was offered to my child but is not included as the side and i wasn't told it was extra charge. Expensive when you consider the drink was extra too making her little bowl of soup $6.95 by itself.“

“Basic Panera experience. Person at register seemed bored and troubled to be taking care of us, but was still pleasant. Had the chipotle flatbread and half chicken chipotle caeser salad. Split the flatbread with my friend and it was still too much. The total for two half salads, a flat bread and two drinks was $45. Seems a bit steep to me though.

Vegetarian options: Clearly labeled veggie options.

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entrance inside, tables that can accommodate needs. Self serve drink machines might be difficult to work from a wheelchair though.“

“Went for brunch. They had options for me being a vegetarian. Tried their garden caprese and Mediterranean sandwich along side their creamy tomato soup. Everything was good! The sandwiches which I thought would be dry were perfect. Customer service was exceptional. The lady helping us added a fountain drink which I did not want and I'm sure she had asked and I just must have said yes yes but she kindly refunded it for me since I did not want it.“

“Had a nice glass of iced coffee
