I am dairy free and the food preparers read the order and made sure there wasn't any cheese on my sandwich. Thank you!

Panera Bread is a restaurant known for its delicious food and great customer service. A highlight of the menu is the bear claw pastry, which is a favorite among customers. The staff is friendly and helpful, often accommodating customers quickly, such as preparing catering orders promptly even if the date was wrong. The restaurant offers many seating options, with outlets available at most tables, including high tops, making it a good place to work remotely. The place is spacious and well organized, and the atmosphere is suitable for dining or working. Customers enjoy tasty food and beverages, and the bathrooms are kept clean, with staff quickly handling maintenance when needed. During busy hours, service can be slow, but placing an order beforehand through the easy-to-use Panera app helps manage wait times. While the location and parking can be a challenge due to popularity among college students, the overall experience remains positive. The restaurant is a decent spot to relax, work, or enjoy a meal, with some reviews noting that it can get noisy when crowded, but it still offers a comfortable environment. The spicy fiesta chxsdw and grilled Chz are recommended, and the cookies are also appreciated.
