  • It's funny that they have BREAD in the title because bread is hardly what this place makes me think of. Instead I think of it as Panera Sandwich Company. Nothing exciting about the bread. I used to eat here quite a bit. The sandwich quality has gone downhill. The value for the dollar we think is a bit out of proportion. We don't like the "wait your own table" set up. We have never had a good cup of coffee here. The bakery has always been just so-so. Recently they were somewhat disorganized and weren't able to fill some of our order at the time. Their patio is nice with a nice view but rather small. They need to really improve their food all the way around. We can pay the same price at the Great Dane next door for way way better food and we are more than happy to pay 20% tip for a better dining experience. Went here recently to see if anything had changed and ordered the turkey artichoke sandwich. I used to order this one in past years. What a got was a similar sandwich with spinach and turkey. No artichoke. I took it back to the counter and they said the artichoke is in there it is just in the sauce! I should have refused it and ordered something else but I ate it and it was ok. Very skimpy turkey portions in sandwich and mostly bread. Way way overpriced for what I got. This is really pathetic. The interior is pretty clean and pleasant. Many people like it for it's internet and coffee shop atmosphere I think and miss how crumby their actual food and service is. I now lower them to 1 star. update: I stopped going to this place some time ago but returned because a friend insisted (above visit) and I won a 5 dollar gift card so I went there to use it up. When I got there a manager was about to explain to a customer why her receipt was rung up the way it was and she said she didn't care to know. But the manager insisted on explaining the bill to which she reluctantly allowed him to finish. Now when I am ordering at this place I am invariably asked again and again if I am ready to order. Don't they see that I am looking at the menu which is hung behind them? So I won't be ordering until I decide and when I decide I will know to walk up to the register to order. I decided to try the Ham and Turkey Panini because it was a little more expensive and one I had not tried in the past. I think it was 8.25. So with my card I spent three and a quarter. The sandwich came with a bag of chips. It was a pretty large sandwich and the bread was good. The ham was of somewhat ample portions but the turkey was skimpy and the cheese was almost non-existent. What they do is shave the cheese paper thin and put two slices on the sandwich. This is not what I call a good panini. I give it about a 6 as it was fresh and tasted ok. But it was nothing to rave about nor come back for. It should have cost around 5 bucks for its simplicity and skimpiness. Look at it this way. I can buy a frozen dinner for 4 bucks which will have a protein, carb and vegetable and weigh in at about the same weight as the sandwiches I get from Panera. But I have to pay double at this joint. Sadly, Panera didn't used to be like this. They used to have a turkey artichoke sandwich that was loaded with artichoke, turkey and cheese and the bread was delicious. So someone came in and revamped all the food and wrecked the place. Amazingly this has not dampened the number of patrons. What I think is happening here is that Panera has a type of coffeshop feel and people meet there for it's casual atmosphere without paying a lot of attention to the quality of their food. They sit, they talk with friends and eat their food and just have a good time not realizing that they just got ripped off and made to wait on their own table! I gotta hand it to them. They sure pulled off a good scam when they came up with the idea for this place. Now please. No more gift certificates. They are more "insult certificates" than anything. Update: 2017. I had a wonderful meal at the Panera Bread in West Bend not too long ago so I decided to order the same thing from this location to go. Boy was this a mistake. Are no two Panera Breads alike? Mac and Cheese portion was about half of what I got at the West Bend location and my sandwich was skimpy and thus overpriced. What a disappointment.
