Panera Bread provides a convenient drive-thru experience with quick service and accurate orders. The exterior is well-maintained, and some staff members offer exceptional and caring service. However, customers have reported some issues with their orders, including mistakes and problems with the soda machine, which has been described as tasting like mold. While the food is generally considered amazingly good, some customers feel that the service could be better, particularly with the push to use kiosks for ordering instead of having a human take orders. This has raised concerns, especially for the elderly and handicapped population. Overall, the experience can be hit or miss, with some customers enjoying their meals while others have mixed feelings about specific items like the new Croque Monsieur Croissant Toast.
