    Worst Panera bread location ever, they always run out of something , every week when I order they don’t have the baguete or the soup, this location should close down soon, I come here because it’s closer to my coworkers house, stuff don’t care about the order if it’s late or not

    I frequent Panera frequently as my church provides bagels weekly from here and I am slightly addicted to their egg white avocado breakfast andwich. I cant say enough about their customer service. Everyone without exception, is pleasant, acommodating and hard working. The managers exude warmth and friendliness.

    I generally like Panera Bread. The food is much better quality and tasty than other fast food. However, depending on the location, service can be lacking. I used to like the Panera on the Berlin Turnpike in Connecticut but I recently been to the one at Hartford Hospital and it was not a comfortable atmosohere/seating. I wonder if they made it that way purposely to keep people moving. It's definitely not a place where I would want to linger.
