Panera Bread is a restaurant with a variety of options for those with dietary restrictions and a large eat-in area, making it family and wheelchair friendly. The Broccoli Cheddar Soup and Half Deli Ham Sandwich from the Pick 2 menu are delicious. The Broccoli cheese soup is often praised as delicious, and the chicken salad sandwich is also liked by many. However, some customers have experienced issues such as receiving only half a sandwich with a small amount of chicken salad that doesn't cover the whole sandwich, which was disappointing especially given the high prices. Prices are considered high, with some paying around $17 for a BLT Chicken sandwich and a large tea. Service has been reported as below average, with staff often unable to answer questions or frequently getting orders wrong, including drive-thru mistakes and difficulty making simple drinks like a 20oz latte. Parking can be tight and difficult at times due to narrow spots, and service speed is sometimes slow. Despite these issues, the sandwiches are generally good if customers are patient with the rest of the experience.
