Description

**Panera: A Mixed Bag of Experiences**

Nestled along a busy route, Panera offers a delightful mix of experiences for visitors. While some patrons rave about exceptional customer service and attentive staff who go the extra mile, others have faced frustrating encounters, particularly with food preparation and portion sizes. Menu highlights like the charged lemonade and Green Goddess sandwich receive praise for their freshness and flavor. However, the prices and smaller take-out portions may deter budget-conscious diners. Despite these inconsistencies, the restaurant maintains a welcoming atmosphere, making it suitable for families and students alike, with ample parking and accessibility options.

Food and service are great but the seating isn't great. The place really isn't designed in mind of families wanting to come.

I started to fossilize while waiting in the drive through.

I always get the bread bowl with broccoli soup and ordered four to take home. I have a couple of times each year when I'm fishing with family in Missouri. We had a fantastic time together, and it was made even better with Panera Bread.

I’m really disappointed with STL Panera. I love their food, but I'm saddened to see that the price of the Pick 2 option has jumped from $5.75 to over $10, and drinks aren’t included anymore. Parking at the Washington location is quite dangerous; it’s not safe to walk in the lot. On the plus side, wheelchair accessibility is good.

The pricing has gone from a bit high, to absolutely insulting. 2 people getting a normal meal, walking out paying $40. You’re going to look me in the eye, and say that single ladle of soup is nearly $8?Half the time I go, my $14 sandwich is wrong anyway
