    I’ve been a longtime fan of Panera Bread, but the Norwalk location has been a big disappointment. After a few bad experiences, I’ve decided not to go back. The quality feels like it has completely dropped off a cliff. The bread—once Panera’s signature and most important item—now tastes cheap and bland. When the bread itself loses its quality, the whole experience falls apart. Unfortunately, this location no longer lives up to what Panera used to stand for.

    I actually do like some of the breads and pastries from panera..... They have these little cheese rolls which I really like... Any time I'm in the area I'll go in and buy a few..... Get it toasted and put some butter on it.... It's really yummy..... Some of the salads are good.... But you do have to watch out because there's a lot of salt in this food..... Like the soups are good but oh my God too much salt for me.... But the people who work there are always friendly at least in the locations I've been to....... I do like a good bear claw... With the almonds and they do have them.... Yummy
