Came here because I needed a quick lunch, and panera bread on junction provided just that. I ordered the Fuji apple salad and turkey chili, and my pager buzzed before I could fill my coffee. Talk about fast service!
A lot of previous reviews suggest that this location has mastered the quick lunch. Though I'm not used to it, it is always appreciated when I need to eat and go. I had a negative experience the last time because I wanted to take my time and think about what I wanted to order. Disclaimer: Do not do that during lunch hour! I had a great lunch because I knew what I wanted and got it in minutes.
I did what I promised: I came back and tried this location when it wasn't as busy. And I had a pretty good lunch. They didn't mess up any orders this time, and the woman who took my order took her time and didn't try to get rid of me right away. Though these aren't the only requirements I look for in a great lunch, Panera Bread on Junction is fast as everyone promises.
