Panera Bread

By far the most pleasant and freshest Panera in the 239. I find myself coming to a lot of different Panera Breads very frequently because of Sip Club perks and the need for a great environment with Wifi to study at, however, though this location in particular is one of the further locations away from my home, I continue to come back to this one, and with reason. Out of all of the locations I have gone to, this location by far has the freshest food, and is the only Panera Bread that I have seen that actually toasts and warms up their bread sides before giving them to customers. The employees are on another level as well-- Mark is always super friendly and carries a warm welcoming smile, Drew is always very polite and super nice, and I have noticed keeps very busy in keeping the place tidy. Though seeing Angel mostly in the back, I can tell that he brings a positive working environment for his employees, which, in return, very much reflects on the customers' experience when visiting this location. Many of my lengthy study sessions have resulted in me staying in here almost right up to close, and not once have I felt pressured or asked to leave, no matter how close they were to closing (very much unlike the Panera Bread at Tarpon Bay, where I get dirty looks if I come in for a mobile pickup order 20 minutes before closing). The music choice at this Panera Bread is great as well. I will continue going to this Panera Bread and will keep choosing them over the plentiful of closer locations to my home.

Panera Bread consistently delivers a refreshingly delightful experience. The freshness of their food and coffee is unmatched, providing a consistently satisfying taste with every visit. However, what truly sets them apart is their exceptional staff; their friendly demeanor and attentive service elevate the dining experience to a whole new level.

Panera is always really good! A large variety of options so you will probably find something that you like here. The bagels here are delicious, my personal favorite is the Asiago because the cheese tastes so good on it when it is toasted. They also have great sandwiches like the Tuna, the Chicken with avocado, and the toasted steak which are all amazing. And the soups here are perfect, the broccoli cheddar is our personal favorite, and it gets even better with the baguette they give you as a side or even the Large Asiago bread that they make which you can purchase from their bakery. They also have plenty of desert and drink options if you like to have sweets. Panera is a good, if slightly expensive option if you are in the area😁

I live nearby so I come here rather often and I generally like my experience here! Some small complaints like them being out of coffee or if they have it it's sometimes cold but it doesn't happen all the time so I can let it slide However I can see that everybody is giving it their all here (especially the kitchen they move fast!) and they're very friendly. Very nice place! Also its free Wi-Fi it's amazing to have.

Anthony and Amanda are extremely helpful and gracious employees! I called to put in a catering order for the next morning and the catering expert had already left, but they were both really patient and friendly. I ordered 36 bagels and 30 pieces of pastries and they walked through every, single option with me. I really appreciate their kindness and consideration!
