    I always get lunch here because I work in one of the shops, and today I had the most delicious sandwich ever. It was the toasted garden caprese sandwich. It had lots of dressing and sauces and what not, and nothing was lacking. It was literally the best sandwich I ever had. Please don’t take that sandwich off your menu. It is my favorite sandwich and it is just the best after a long shift. These people know what they’re doing. Thank you.

    I’ve rediscovered chicken noodle soup - delicious and great with Caesar salad in the value duets options.

    It's been a while since I been to a Panera, and like every where else, prices have really gotten out of hand.
