Panera Bread

I took my kid there to get Mac n cheese and a smoothie for dinner. We told them it was to go and ended up waiting almost 40 minutes for Mac n cheese...... During this wait there where only about 4 people who recieved their orders and 3 or 4 who got refunds who left. This is the second time with over a 30 minute wait, the first time they had the decency to give me a warning, unlike this time.

I joined the Unlimited Sips club, and this is my home Panera. I love the new location, definitely more bright and clean than the last. And even though it's a smaller bay, it being more open makes it feel less crowded than the old location if that makes sense. I had to give it the 4/5, however, because unfortunately a few times the coffees, (regular) lemonade, or half-n-half has been empty. That being said, I'd still recommend this spot to study with a charge lemonade, chat over lunch, read by the fire with some tea, or just enjoy some good coffee and an amazing bagel.

Panera has recently changed locations so they can have a drive thru. Their menu and daily bread options have dwindled. The new place lacks the cozy intimate setting I'm used to. It's crowded and I am not a fan of listening to the kids iPad next to me as I'm trying to meet a client. This new store doesn't welcome you to stay and chat. I absolutely hate it. I give it 2 stars because the food is still good.
