    The North Port Networking Gem (The Lady Pirate's Favorite Port!) I can't say enough good things about the Panera Bread in the Cocoplum Village Shops. As a local networking lady pirate, I need a reliable, welcoming 'port' to dock and meet with colleagues—and this is it. The service here is consistently the best part of the visit. The staff is efficient, friendly, and always makes you feel genuinely appreciated, which fosters the perfect, relaxed setting for professional meetups. Beyond the superb atmosphere for networking, the quality never dips. The food is always noticeably fresh, making everything from a quick salad to a warm sandwich a delight. Crucially, for those early morning strategy sessions, the coffee is strong, hot, and reliable. This location is more than just a cafe; it’s an essential community hub. Highly recommended!

    I ordered a Mac and cheese bread bowl and was given a broccoli cheddar bowl. When I said something about it I heard the workers say they were out of bread bowls so instead of telling me that they pour the soup out and put the Mac and cheese over it. The atmosphere there was totally disrespectful we sat there listening to the crew talk down about a past employee with the manager right there joining in.
