After waiting about 5-7 minutes, one of the customers left without ordering because no one attended to her. It took around 10 minutes for my order to be processed, as I was informed that the cashier was in the restroom and the manager was on the phone. In total, it took me 20 minutes to finally leave the restaurant. Seriously?

Parking is easy to find at any location. Although their prices have stayed consistent, the portion sizes have gotten smaller. Despite this, the food quality remains excellent. I really like the "pick-2" option, which lets me combine favorites like a salad with a sandwich or soup with a salad. The menu changes with the seasons, particularly the soups, which can be both a plus and a downside—if you love a certain soup, you might have to wait until it comes back next season. Overall, I highly recommend Panera Bread.

If it hadn’t been late and we weren’t so hungry, we would have taken it back to the restaurant to return it.
