Very nicely located branch of Paneera Bread. Very spacious with modern self order facility. Vegetarian options were few but taste was very nice. Staff was very helpful and courteous.

Initial time given for delivery was 25-33 minutes. Waited over an hour. Need to update times for delivery to be more accurate. Will not order again from here again.

I had a pick up order for my lunch today. When I got back to my work and opened the bag, I realized how small the salads are now. It used to fill the whole bowl, now it was barely half full with the salad. I had ordered this a few months back and it was good so not sure if Panera as a whole is saying make salads smaller or if it was the staff not being concerned or caring of their job. When I picked up, the staff was not very friendly either.
Also side note: got a chocolate chip cookie and it was as hard as a rock. Not sure if it was an old cookie or what but it was not good. Very disappointing trip to Panera.

Enjoyed the breakfast, I experienced hacking which prevented me from using my account for a special which saves me more money.

During this fall season, I tried the autumn squash soup and it was delicious. I also bought an orange scone and it was the best I have ever had. It was very moist and it had pieces of orange zest in it. I was thrilled because I am often disappointed with so many food chains. I was pleasantly surprised and so grateful. It’s on the U of A campus in Main Gate Square. If you are in the area, be sure to stop by and check it out for yourself
