    10.03.25 11am Panera Bread's Hazelnut and Light Roast coffees are so good, very fresh and non-bitter. I'm not a regular coffee drinker but Panera's coffees are so tasty that I would order it every time I dined here, with a little bit of their honey (only have pasteurized honey). Service is perfect, very nice employees! Unfortunately the sandwiches and soups are better prepared at the Campbell location vs this N 1st St location. The Ciabatta Italian Meat Sandwich with French Onion Soup; the sandwich was very greasy (tasty but greasy), and the French Onion Soup was NOT French Onion Soup. It was like some watered down powder remixed take on this classic French soup, almost no cheese in the soup, just no. Applebee's made awesome French Onion Soup last time I had it (6+ yrs ago). We'll be revisiting Applebee's for just this soup soon. Their bagged potato chips are super crunchy and perfect with a sandwich. Mom wanted an apple as her side. I eat healthy, I know. You need a code to use the restrooms, which are very clean.
