This is the friendliest Panera I've ever visited... Not that the other stores aren't friendly, but these guys (and ladies) are extremely cordial and I love it here...
I tried the Broccoli Cheddar soup about 3 years ago and until they were out the other day, that is the only soup I had even tried because I love it so... Who knew the Black Bean Soup and French Onion were also out of sight? lol No one told me, but I'm glad I figured it out... The new turkey wheatberry salad was meh, in my opinion, but that is not the fault of this establishment... That's just my odd tastebuds... (I tried with the gorgonzola... Really, I did.)
I've never had a problem with a call in order (which I do a lot when I'm feeling lazy or don't have time to cook) and even if you do have to wait for everything to be prepared, it still doesn't take a long time...
