Panera Bread - Gainesville

I absolutely love Panera Bread! The fresh ingredients are amazing, and their pastries are fantastic. The bear claw is my favorite!

Chaley reminded me of my experiences at Panera. As I admired the cookies, she confidently assured me that I would be completely satisfied. She even jokingly said that if I didn’t like it, I could spit the cookie on her uniform. However, I was extremely pleased with the gorgeous Frost cookie that Chaley had made herself in her backyard. It felt like the essence of Panera cookies flowed through Chaley Hawkins.

When I arrived, Chaley surprised me by treating me to one of everything on the menu, all out of her own pocket! It was such a generous gesture. To top it off, she even gave me a kiss on the lips. I can't thank you enough, Chaley! Panera has definitely won me over!

What else can I give, just a star for a restaurant that made my wife and my order wrong? My wife ordered a scrambled egg/sausage on Ciabbata; she got it all over Bagley. I ordered all bagel w/cream cheese and got NO cream cheese! We were in town for a wedding and started a 5 hour drive to Tallahassee. NOT THE OUR TRIP. By the way, my wife is a MyPanera member.

Never had such poor experience at a Panera. Their food is not good and they just throw your sandwiches together very skimpy on your meat). I have chicken salad and the chicken salad looked like it was just mayo thinly spread. ?
