| - The Cheddar Broccoli Soup was fine, but nothing special for nearly $6. The French Baguette that came with the soup was hard as a rock, small and cut my gums. The Roasted Turkey & Avocado BLT Sandwich was way overpriced, also smaller than expected and didn't have much of the ingredients in it. Hardly any avocado, tiny amount of roasted turkey, little to no mayo, wimpy lettuce piece, one micro-sized pre-made piece of bacon, decent amount of tomatoes and bread that definitely did not pass for actual sourdough. Overall...pretty tasteless and inadequate for around $9. The flavor was not very dynamic. I make much better sandwiches at home and they don't run me $9. The 1 oz. bag of their own brand Kettle-Cooked Potato Chips was not too bad, but for the large sandwich price, you would think it would include some sort of potato salad or pasta side. And the Pecan Roll was pretty good to finish things off, although still overpriced at $3. Almost $20 for one person to eat there and that didn't even include a drink. Just not worth the trip for me or my daughter, who also was not impressed in the least.
On the flip side, the decor was pleasant and the employees there were very nice and friendly. They were the best part of my experience. But since I didn't come there mainly to interact with them, the food will not bring me back again and I would NOT recommend Panera Bread to anyone. It definitely had the chance to be much better than it was...such a letdown.
