If you believe that adding sugar enhances the flavor, you’re mistaken—salt is what truly brings out the taste in food. My mother was a professional cook, and she always added salt to breakfast dishes. So, I ended up adding seven packets of salt to my oatmeal, which finally made it enjoyable. I hope Panera Bread considers adding salt to their oatmeal and mixing it in before serving. The oatmeal with strawberries was good after I added the salt. Thank you!

This place has the nicest and most genuine staff. Love it here!Original: Had a beautiful experience thanks to the most kind and helpful cashier named Amila I believe was how to spell her name. I have always enjoyed Panera but it is connecting with such a beautiful soul that really enhanced the experience. So much appreciation for bringing more love and light into my day. Thank you Amila ??? blessings
