    They got rid of brewed coffee for lower quality gas station auto-makers. Over-priced for tiny portions.

    Whenever I arrived at Panera I was greeted with the smell of fresh bread and more. The inside environment was very cozy and gave a very fall vibe since were around that season. I ordered grilled cheese and broccoli cheddar soup. The soup was amazing, and the flavor was very potent, although the soup was good the grilled cheese kind of disappointed me. It wasn't very cheesy or grilled. The employees were very kind and surprisingly enthusiastic. Overall, I'm experience at Panera was great!
