In general, I preferred when there were Paradise Bakeries in the Phoenix area, but Panera is still okay (the one thing I actually DO like better are there soups). My main complaint is that the rewards program isn't nearly as good as it was as PB (again, this is general and not just this location). Also, the pastries (which is the main thing I get here) aren't as good IMO.
Honestly, my main complaint with this location versus others is that I just find the service to be slower. Granted, this DOES seem to be a pretty busy location. I still stop in from time to time, but not as much as I used to.
