Panera Bread

One of my regular daily am stop for coffee and bagel. Love their dark roast coffee. Bagel is more like baked bread than traditional bagel (boiled dough then baked)

The waitstaff was very professional, courteous, and helpful during my visit. She made suggestions and provided options for my order. She deserves recognition for making the customer feel appreciated.

This location is serving smaller portions. I ordered pick-2 and the soup was in a smaller bowl and my sandwich had very small portion of chicken with 1 small skinny slice of avocado which I paid extra for. Dined on a Saturday during the lunch hours and only 3 tables were occupied. Apparently, others have experienced the same?

Restrooms are filthy and floor is always wet. I've been to this Panera at least once or twice a year since 2022. My Dad always wants to get a sandwich and this is a half way point during travel. But the restrooms have always been filthy, and often times the tables and carpet have food crumbs all over. I keep thinking that the next time it will be better, but I've clearly been proven wrong. I now wonder if the kitchen is clean?! I will need to find a new place to stop during travel.

The food was fine but very expensive for what i got. My pick 2 and a drink was $18! The man who took my order wasn't friendly at all. And that place needs a good cleaning. Where I got my clean lid from had a sticky brown substance on the bottom and it took me a long time to find a place to eat that wasn't all messy with greasy fingerprints. Won't be back for a bit.
