| - I like this Panera Bread. I like it better than the lo action on Happy Valley mainly because the parking situation is better. And when I say it's "better", what I mean is that you don't need a can opener in order to get into your car. If you've read my previous reviews, you'll know I'm a fan of ample parking and large parking stalls. Door dings in the mighty city of Phoenix run rampant and I do what I can to alleviate them. [end rant]
This particular location has plenty of ample parking. The location is clean as is the restroom. My only minor gripe is that for some reason whenever I eat inside of a Panera Bread, the empty tables have not been wiped down. They're clear, but not clean. I really don't like having to set my plate down on a pile of crumbs from the previous person who was sitting where I am. eeeew. Not a huge deal, but still kinda gross. Last I checked, my paycheck ain't signed by Panera Bread. I shouldn't have to do the job. Just my two pennies.
Otherwise, the turkey, bacon, avocado BLT is pretty much my go-to sandwich when I eat here. The crispy bacon combined with the fresh, creamy avocado in conjunction with the fresh turkey make it my favorite. The best part of the sandwich is the fresh turkey. It isn't sandwich meat turkey. It's not paper thin Carl Buddig lunch meat. It's actual chunks of fresh white turkey meat. All of that in addition to a couple of fat slabs of ripe tomato and some fresh green lettuce! Healthy and delicious!
My meal with a fountain soda was $13. Approximately two and a half times the cost of a 6" tuna at Subway. Obviously, the meal at Panera Bread is a step up. It's more like a café with awesome food. You can kick back with your laptop, enjoy your sandwich, sip your iced tea & write your Yelp review 'til your hearts content. So to re-cap... super clean location, plenty of parking and room to stretch out with your dinner and do some work, if need be. Or just enjoy your dinner and slack off on the Internet like I did. Either way, Panera Bread is a great place with good, healthy food options in a relaxed atmosphere!
