been going here for years. food always good. unfortunately, this time the broccoli/cheese soup was way too watery. never had b4 so i'm not sure if it's supposed to be this way. the other complaint is, NO COOKIE! can't understand that one at all. we both had sandwich/soup combo and was given a choice of apple/bagette/chips. really? baguette with soup? the server said eve since panera took them over. i tell you, that's one thing we always remembered about paradise bakery..."let's go there, cookie with your meal'. it was a treat. well no more...really bad, bad marketing. sometimes little things like that stick in customers minds. an example, in NYC at the doubletree they have a free can of cookies. whenever we were in NY, we'd stayed there just because if the prices were comparable.
in any case, no pleased whatsoever and it appears the take over hasn't done any favors for paradise bakery.
