Panera Bread's Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice soup is very good. They make it only a few times a week Tues, Thurs, & Sat. The food quality has gone down over the years. The pick 2 is good combo if you don't know what you want. My usual is the tuna san. & chicken noodle soup. The salads are a hit or miss. The pastries and breads are good. And the toffee cookie always satisfies when they have them.
We don't usually eat in Panera but they run a clean restaurant, play mellow jazz music, they have free wifi, and the bathrooms are also clean.
Panera's can get very busy for lunch & on the weekends. The restaurant will seat a lot of people and they also have outside tables too.
