Panera Bread - Park Ridge

It would be nice if there was a sign outside the hospital. We almost left when GPS took us to a hospital. Maybe change description to include that it is inside hospital.

This large location is bigger than any of the free standing locations I've ever been to. You order at a tablet near the entrance or from a human at the counter.On my first visit I got a deli ham sandwich that had all quality ingredients. It was good and the staff wasn't the friendliest but were efficient. The trash cans were full and many tables remain uncleaned. I returned later during another shift and the the two lattes I ordered took 20 minutes.Perhaps, like many places, they are just short staffed.There is a smaller kiosk near the ER that opens early and has COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE. There are a few food items, but most importantly, COFFEE. If you can't tell, I really needed the coffee that morning.The very sweet and helpful lady at the kiosk merits five stars on her own and single handedly lifted the entire experience up to three stars.
