| - Guys, it's a Panera.
Bread isn't baked on-site, so there's no "bakery" smell. Pastries/breads are going to be mediocre.
MENU
I wished there was a Combo Price for the Pick 2. Instead, based on how the menu is set-up, you hafta do math! There's a Pick 2 price for each category (soup, sandwich, salad) and you hafta add the 2 items together. Too much for me, so I think it would be easier if they just provided a blanket price for a combo of different items.
FOOD
I had a 1/2 Cobb Salad - $8, other than having half a hardboiled egg and barely any bacon pieces, it tasted good. The crust of accompanying baguette was hard AF, I had to tear it with my hands like a cavewoman. Knife was not cutting it!
I haven't been to Panera in YEARS, so I cannot say whether or not portion sizes have been dwindling, but that's what my friend said...who goes regularly. Full portion of salad looked HUGE to me though!
SERVICE
There were people coming around to clean up the dirty plates.
Cashier was fine.
ATMOSPHERE
During my morning - mid-afternoon visit, on a weekday, it was fairly loud. They don't play any background music, so all you can hear is people yammering. Best to bring your headphones if loud, background noise isn't your thang.
