What Shaina Treutel dislikes about Panera Bread:

Had a breakfast sandwich and I've never had breakfast in Panera. It was made fresh and it was really delicious. I also had a blueberry muffin and that was also fresh and delicious. It was warm and so soft. My wife had a sandwich like mine, minus the sausage. She had a bagel instead of a muffin. All in all delicious food. Something had to wait, but it was fresh and well done.
