| - I've really yet to have a bad experience at Panera Bread. It's a nice place to grab a soup and sandwich for lunch, or a cup of coffee (from a selection of a few varieties) and a baked treat during down hours.
Couple notes I'd like to make, while the majority of staff is your run-of-the-mill students working part-time, the boss seems to be there the majority of the time and is helpful and friendly to more than make up for the nonchalant attitude of the rest of the staff. Second, for a place that puts out the amount of baked goods that Panera does, it would be nice if the place smelled like it...just saying.
As mentioned by other reviewers, if you order hot food, you're handed a buzzer at the order counter, coffee and cold drinks are self-serve and come with free refills. I'm fairly certain that the phenomenal iced tea is made on site; definitely worth a try.
Free wi-fi on site means that there are a lot of your I'll-buy-a-single-coffee-but-stick-around-as-long-as-my-device's-battery-lasts kind of people around, especially with the refill policy, but the seating area is definitely large and divided enough that it's not problematic. While the seating area could be comfier and the music selection could be better, it's a you-get-what-you-pay-for kind of place.
