I thought a bowl would be much larger. This looks like a cup of tomatoe soup. Keep in mind. The bread is my free item. So, I paid, 8.55 for a bowl of tomatoe soup that is now put in the size of what use to be a cup of soup. Or has this always been the size of a bowl of soul at Panera Bread. I come to this location all the time for the broccoli and cheese soup and the bowl for some reason, seems larger. Perhaps, I am wrong but, the price of this bowl, oh, I mean, cup of tomatoe soup, won't get another swipe of my bank card. I would normally be happy and my stomach would be statisfied. It didn't even, come with a small drink. Please tell me, why you guys, put the bread in the bag, without covering it in clear wrap or a napkin. So, hands touch the outside of the cups, then you guys expect the

I have held off reviewing this store for a while because it's pretty new. However it seems like the issues we've had are endemic to this location. Every time we've been there, there has been something gross. Standing water, flies, bathroom issues, etc. The service is usually pretty decent when you can get it. Panera has turned largely to a model where you don't interact with people. You enter your order into a computer and it appears at the window. Makes the service hard to review. Finally, the food is very mixed. Portion sizes at Panera have shrunk, and the classic asiago cheese bagel has about a third of the cheese on it that it usually used to. See picture. It's a decent location, and the people are nice, but the negatives are adding up for Panera.

We stopped at the Harrisburg location on 49. Very nice & clean facility. All the employees were friendly, welcoming & polite. The wait for our food was minimal. Now, I had the Chicken Noodle Soup & 1/2 sandwich. My sandwich was the new toasted Chicken Bacon Ranch on Ciabatta roll. Everything was very good, my only disappointment was I wish my Chicken Noodle Soup would of looked like the Chicken Noodle Soup on their website, nice and full of noodles & chicken. Mine was mostly broth noodles, little chicken and more carrots than I care for. Still it tasted good, but that what dropped it to a 4 on food. Wish they would have a 4.5 rating, but we have to work with what they got. My wife had the toasted 1/2 Philly Cheese Steak on a ciabatta roll & the French Onion Soup. No complaints on her end.

I've been to many Panera Bread locations but after living in the Harrisburg/Concord area for a couple years, and watching it be built, I decided to give this location a visit. I mostly wanted to buy a focaccia loaf and a few pastries but while I was there I decided to also get a cup of soup. I wanted to order at the kiosk but the focaccia loaf was unavailable to order. There were probably 8 loaves in their food case so I had to stand in line to order which was decently long. I was told by the employee that after 10 am, the system automatically marks out the focaccia loaf which is why I couldn't order it on the kiosk. This sounds like missed sales opportunities to me because that means people can't order it on mobile or delivery either. If that's all I needed on my visit I probably wouldn't
