    The screen squash soup is divine. The grilled cheese not so much.

    Today was the first and last time I will eat at a Panera Bread! Out ragious prices, what you thought you are paying for food was not even close to the prices I did pay. $26.00 for lunch for two, half of Sandwich and a drink! Never again and the food was not that good!

    me and my mother went here for the first time. we got two sandwiches, mac and cheese, baguette, and 2 coffees. $36 total (not counting tip.) the coffee was good but the sandwiches were bland and not sure why the bread was cut but not the fillings of the sandwich? baguette was good. mac and cheese was okay. but woah that price was not worth it haha. and atmosphere felt weird

    Went in yesterday (10/27) and ordered one orange scone and a loaf of bread. The cashier with gloves on took my money and handed me my change. She then, using the same gloves to make the change, reached in to get my food. I brought it to her attention and she just walked off. No apologies, no nothing. Very disappointed with her handling of the situation. Very poorly managed.
