| - Came here recently pre-soccer game because I wanted to go out for food and didn't want anything too greasy or heavy pre-game. I did the Pick 2 (choose 2 dishes plus a side) with a half chicken Cobb salad with avocado, a half grilled turkey panini and an apple on the side. The panini was kind of a letdown, with the half sandwich feeling pretty underwhelming for the 5 bucks I paid for it. A little small and the mustard based sauce a little too overpowering for me. Still there was plenty of bacon, cheese, and turkey, so it was still passable. The salad however was pretty awesome: LOTS of avocado, bacon chunks, egg, and chicken in the half salad. Next time I might just order this alone. It seemed like a more than reasonable portion and everything was fresh and tasty. I mean with bacon, chicken, and avocado in a nice creamy sauce it's kind of hard to go wrong. And this is coming from a 'give-me-real-food!!' non-salad eating kind of guy.
This location has a pretty friendly/helpful staff and I still appreciate chilling at a table enjoying the free wifi while my food gets prepared and brought to me.
Also, if you're going to Panera often enough the rewards program seems pretty decent. I've gone to Panera Bread 4 times and gotten 2 free items (a smoothie and a brownie) which kind of makes me feel a little better about the slightly higher than average prices.
