| - First of all, I'd like to start off with the fact that I love Panera Bread. Soups, salads, breads, and pastas are my ultimate comfort food and this location is conveniently less than five minutes away, so it does sadden me quite a bit to be giving them a three-star rating. For that, I will start with the good stuff:
The food is fresh, filling, and of great taste. The ingredients always deliver quality! The atmosphere includes cozy tungsten lighting and several booths amongst the (kind of) crowded tables and chairs; however, I am knocking off points for this location's service. The time of day definitely matters. I've been here enough to know that sometimes there's a bit of a wait for even the simplest of orders. There was even a circumstance in which someone in my party was told they were out of one of his orders and this would have been completely fine if he was told immediately, but he was told after a twenty-minute wait which meant he had to wait even longer. We were forced to eat ahead of him to avoid dining on cold soup. *tear*
Other than that, Panera's a pretty decent spot to have a healthy meal! I would have given them a four-star rating if it weren't for the service... I do love all of their soups and the Iced Green Tea is a must for those who like a refreshingly sweet beverage! The "You Pick 2" is also perfect for numerous combinations!
