Panera Bread

I probably come to this Panera 3-4 times a week!  99% of the time, my order is correct!  The couple of times my order has not been what I asked for, the manager has always been very apologetic and polite, which I've really appreciated.  The staff is always friendly and has a smile on their face.  Definitely a place I will continue to frequent!

I don't understand how this Panera location stays in business. If you arrive after 7:30AM you will likely have no choice of bagel. They run out of most varieties very early on in the day.
The only thing they are good at is coming up with new excuses for not having bagels.
Some  I have heard are:
Our bakers worked all night and that's all we could bake
It's been  areal busy day.
Everyday people want different bagels
We had a lot of big orders early today
There is no school
It's  a weekend
We ran out of ingredients
You should have phoned ahead with an order

I have spoken to  the manager on duty several times but see no improvement in the bagel selection

I feel sorry for the people who work here and can't provide what the customers want

I've been eating at Panera Bread since way back when it was still called St. Louis bread company. When I was a kid I loved their PB&J sandwiches, but as I got older I found their "adult" menu to be rather lacking. At the time my mom was obsessed with this place and I got dragged here against my will more times than not. The only reason I tolerated it was because my mom was paying, and because the bakery was AMAZING.

Recently thought everything changed! Panera started carrying these AMAZING pastas in addition to their wonderful soups and baked goods! Best of all, they even added some sandwiches to their menu that I actually want to try! I've had both the tortellini, and the pasta with meat sauce, and both are fantastic! I love getting them with the baked potato soup. On my most recent visit the baguette they gave me was so fresh it was too hot to touch! :) Needless to say that with their new menu changes Panera is not one of my favorite places for both lunch and breakfast and I've been finding my self having Panera cravings!
