Brought my daughters in for a “just girls”lunch. My daughter ordered a large bowl of Mac and cheese and I had a small side of Mac and cheese (this is important because it’s very light colored). I quickly noticed that both my bowl and my daughters bowl were dirty when we started stirring. It wasn’t a huge deal at that point because, well, it happens.

I ordered a poppyseed salad through the drive thru. They ask me to park and wait. They bring my food out to me and walk away.

Panera Bread offers a mixed experience with good customer service and delicious food, yet some items like the Mac and Cheese may fall short. The drive-thru orders were correct and tasty, while the breakfast was enjoyable, including the croissant and ciabatta breakfast sandwich and cinnamon crunch bagel. The manager handled a recent order misunderstanding with generosity, offering free drinks and cookies. The restaurant is always clean, making it a great spot for studying or working. Salads are consistently prepared and delicious, and the staff create a friendly atmosphere. Suggestions to improve cleanliness around the coffee area were noted. The helpful and kind staff, particularly Dakota, enhanced the overall dining experience, making it a great option for a quick meal with family or friends.
