Panera doesn't really do anything for me so I never go.  Their bagels do look good but I've never had one.

I love their bagels.  On Tuesday's they have a special and that it when I buy them. Love the sesame and cinamon crunch, I then fill in the remainder of the order with cinammon raisin and plain.  Wrap individually and then put in a lock/lock and put in freezer.  We then take them out when we want them.  The 13 bagels usually last us four weeks.  

I also love their souffles for breakfast, spinach artichoke my favorite.

I haven't been to "mine".   The parking lot is so packed, you can't even get close to the place....

It's been awhile, but I always loved their sandwiches and baked goods.

Nice place to stop . Have 3 in my  area and they are all run well . Food orders are consistent . Love the Autumn squash soup and the  October Pink Ribbon  bagels with cherries & vanilla . Have tried many of their sandwiches , salads and flat breads.

Just wish they would make their Nappa  almond chicken salad with  yogurt instead of mayo . They  stopped making the cranberry walnut bread which was one of my favorites .

used to really like panera, but it seems that their sandwiches have gotten "skinnier" and their soups are not as tasty as they used to be. i used to buy their soups by the quart, but havent for quite a while. our favorite was their french onion soup. the sandwiches now have way too much thick bread and not enough inside.

the ones around here though are quite busy. i do still like their fresh breads sliced for takeout......especially the asiago cheese bread.

@Desertdi   DD called ahead so she just had to pick the order up.

6 months ago she was in that town and was going to go through the drive thru to get a salad and some soup for me.  I got a call, "how bad do you want that soup? The drive thru line is wrapped around the building."  I said not that bad, don't wait.

I love to order from Panera, especially when they have coupons or a discount code. Their food for the portion size is not always a great value. 

I love the convenience of their curbside pickup. Super easy.

I'm not a fan of sweet bagels, but do usually add a plain sliced bagel to every order. Just to have in the freezer to make a sandwich, pizza bagel, or for breakfast. One thing I order every time is their value duet of Greek Salad with Tomato soup and don't want the baguette so I always opt for the apple. Perfect lunch for the next day. The flatbread pizza are a nice change. Especially since they dropped the price a little. The new chicken noodle is an improvement to the old, but still not as good as homemade. (What is?)  The brownie is dense and I find half of one is enough for after dinner dessert.

I was given a $25.00 gift card to them last April but I have never been to Panera.  Menu looks fine but nothing really jumps out at me to go inside or curbside.
