    Went thru drive-thru for coffee and egg sandwich. Fast service. Coffee was pretty good and egg sandwich was tasty and generous size. We got the light and dark roast coffee and my mother really liked the light roast. The dark roast was very good too but I guess I like a really rich tasty dark roast. 2 egg sandwiches and 2 medium coffees cost about $20.00.

    WAY overpriced. $35 for 2 sandwiches, 2 drinks, and 2 SMALL orders of mac and cheese. A lot less meat on the sandwich than when I first went to a Panera in St. Pete Florida about 10 years ago. And not as much flavor. Very disappointing.
