Panera Bread

This was my first time ordering Panera in the mall. It was absolutely crowded l, but t was nice to see that they did have rapid pick up! That’s so helpful for mall employees planning their lunches! I ordered the Chicken Cobb & Avocado salad and it was delicious! This was my first salad from Panera! It came with chicken, avocado, a boiled egg, and bits of bacon! As a part of the pick two deal, I also ordered the roasted turkey and avocado BLT sandwich. It was also very good!
The only thing they forgot to do was give me the baguette that’s supposed to come with my meal. When I went to the counter the manager gave me one. I just wish it was bigger like the ones they give you at larger Panera Bread locations.

The broccoli and cheese soup and macaroni and cheese was good as usual. However, the portion Mac and cheese was smaller than other places paneras I’ve been to.
The main problem was the mango iced tea, which wasn’t sweet at all. I added three sugar packets, and it still wasn’t even remotely sweet. And there wasn’t any mango taste at all. It tasted like pricey water. So don’t buy it, stick with lemonade or something.

It’s what I expect at a mall. They couldn’t find my rewards and then forgot the chicken on my salad.

This one is probably my favorite Panera. I am a regular customer. The staff is wonderful and are willing to patiently tell you all they have to offer.
The menu has many options for vegetarians also. It is a great place to stop by if you’re craving some cozy food. It may seem pricey, but it’s totally worth it; and it actually fills you up. Many of their items offer you with a side option which include an apple, chips, or piece of bread. There is also an option for indecisive people like myself. The «pick two» allows you to get a half order of something and a half order of another item. I usually get the tomato basil panini with a half order of the broccoli cheddar soup. The bread, which its known for, is amazing and fresh. The dessert options are all good. I’ve tried the muffins and cupcakes. My favorite beverage is definitely the iced green tea. It’s perfect in its sweetness.
It has a parking lot and a drive thru. You can also become a Panera member and chose to do the «rapid pick up» which allows you to place an order beforehand and have your food ready to pick up.

Food is on par with all other panera restaurants I’ve been to, and this location has a lot of seating available. Definitely designed to be a meeting place for people. Only complaint is sometimes the drive thru line sticks out so far it creates havoc in the parking lot and the roadway.
