Not going to lie, Panera Bread on a whole is not my favorite chain type of restaurants to go to. Their bread is fresh enough and the food is okay, but it is pretty expensive for what it is. If I wanted something with a lot of great flavor and unique qualities, I would probably not go to Panera. Eating local is where its at!
But I do give props when its due. Paneras has a lot more choices than your local deli, because it has lots of soups and pastries too. This Panera's is also really nice because of its convenient location and friendly staff. They are super nice and are pretty quick with the orders. When I have a sick person to take care of and need something quick, this is not a bad option. Chicken noodle soup is good enough to get through a cold. And if the soup isn't enough to get you through, CVS is right across the street so you can pick up some Nyquil.
