I've been to this Panera Bread too many times to count. When I was younger, I always ordered the broccoli and cheddar soup, but as I've grown older, I've expanded my palette.
I recently ordered half a frontera chicken panini and a cup of black bean soup (pick 2) with a French baguette and a peach blueberry smoothie with almond milk.
All of this totaled around $13, which was pricy for lunch but worth it. The black bean soup, despite being only 90 calories, was fulfilling and flavorful. The frontera chicken panini changed my perspective of paninis forever. The bread was crispy and had the perfect crunch. The melted mozzarella with the shredded chicken was absolutely delicious.
The French baguette never fails, and the smoothie was not bad. (Strawberry Banana is better.) The service was nice and very polite, and I didn't wait more than ten minutes for my food.
Overall, I've become a recent Panera Bread fan.
