I truly enjoy panera but there drive through times are ridiculous at the Bloomington location. I have the sips drink rewards so I go through the drive through often and it always takes forever to even get up to the speaker because they take 20 mins to give people their food. I understand wanting fresh food but there has to be a way to make the experience better. Ex. Actually using the drive through parking spots.

Food and atmosphere are as expected. When will they finally fix their bread slicing machine? It's been months.

Absolutely blew my mind eating here. Super friendly. I went through the drive through and the person who took my order was so over the top nice to the point where I wanted to leave a tip. The food was absolutely delicious. 10/10. First time eating here. My favorite spot in Btown
