Panera Bread

This Panera has been outstandingly accepting of me as a transwoman, even on the days when I was too busy to shave. Intensely LGBTQ+ friendly, the queer community need not fear hanging out here. Even without that, as a traveler who has used my coffee subscription to sip around America, this is definitely an above-average location, and I have spent so many hours here unwinding after work when I'm home for the summer. I'm pretty thankful they've put up with me, and I ask you to please tip well when you're here. My favorites are the Lemon Drop Cookie, and the Mediterranean vegetarian sandwich. In the morning, I always order the Bacon Egg & Tomato Wrap, but substitute out the bacon for avocado; the tomato juice mixes with the sauce to be actually really delicious, and it powers me through my morning at work. Their coffees are decent, and not too strong like Starbucks always is; but actually, their hot tea is excellent, and the biggest draw of the subscription plan. Fans of Uncle Iroh, rejoi

Small portions, sad looking food. Look at this sad little bowl of food. They charge ELEVEN DOLLARS for this. I've been happier with a frozen microwave rice bowl from WalMart for $3.99. When i called to complain the manager told me the bowls are "pre-portioned" so there was no way they made a mistake. That excuse actually makes the disappointment worse for me. Go to Chipotle folks.

I like Panera and alway pick Panera over other restaurants. I came here and the line was out the door, there were more people waiting for food, yet even more dining in. I placed my order online so not to wait in line and that took a while, about 20 minutes, to get food. Good thing I was only passing by this location and don’t live near it. I’m sure the employees were doing everything they could to keep up to the high demand.
