Panera Bread is a bakery-cafe that serves good food despite some drawbacks. Guests may experience slow service, with long wait times at the counter and lack of attention from staff. Food quality varies, with some items, like toasted bagels, potentially arriving cold and tough. Recent reviews mention that the new pretzel bagel sandwich and cheddar broccoli soup are popular choices, but the sandwich often has only a few pieces of chicken and is mainly bread and lettuce. The service can be inconsistent; sometimes staff are distracted or not paying attention, which can lead to longer waits. However, on a good day, the food is delicious, and service can be fast and friendly, especially with carry-out orders. The restaurant offers some redeeming qualities, such as its supercharged lemonade and free refills on drinks. It also has a rewards program where customers can earn free drinks and rewards regularly. While disability access may be limited, the cafe still provides a comfortable place to enjoy reasonably priced, tasty food.
