Panera Bread

Ordered a salad from door dash. Maybe Panera was having an off night. Salad was bitter, rusty, and the fruit seemed old. I did order late 830ish. The bread an brownie yummy.

One of the favorite places to meet. I really like the salads here. Always perfect. And my favorite soup is broccoli cheddar. Baking is always perfect.

I had a craving for the pesto chicken ciabatta dipper so I went to Panera (drive through). They were out of the sauce, unfortunately. The woman taking my order was ready with a suggestion to try the same basic sandwich with a different sauce, but did advise me it might not be the same (of course not, that pesto is delicious). I opted for the garlic aioli on my sandwich. She gave me a little discount since the sauce was out, which was unexpected but very nice of her. And the sandwich was delicious. A bit more "plain" than it would be with the pesto, but still good.

Puny portions every time. This is not a place to get any protein. Whether it's on a salad or a sandwich, they are cheap with key ingredients, especially protein. The environment is cozy, the people are often very friendly. And they've got great coffee drinks. It was very convenient to where I was today so I checked them out again and it's the same every time. Today I got a souffle and it looked like it might be like a quiche. The ingredients listed egg. But basically it was a croissant with one tiny little half leaf of a spinach and a teaspoon of some fake cheese ( it may have been mixed with a teeny tiny bit of egg?) I could taste zero egg even the fake cheese part was like they brushed it on. It was not fulfilling or tasty to eat at all. It was gross and overpriced for what I got,

The food here is very good, some of the best fast food around. Their Tuesday bagel special is one of my favorites so I can share with my buddies at work and not break the bank. The online ordering is excellent, but it’s difficult to delete an item if you are placing a modified re-order. Services decent, with average wait times. Sign up for their rewards program and take care of their bagel special, and you’ll be rewarded regularly!
