This
review
is
based
on
my
most
recent
visit
to
Panera
Bread
which
happens
to
be
my
first
in
almost
three
years.
We
were
quickly
greeted
as
we
entered
which
is
always
nice.
I
find
the
menu
pretty
easy
to
read
which
helps
because
there
are
a
lot
of
options.
I
have
always
been
fond
of
the
pick
2
which
I'm
glad
was
still
present.
I
always
know
I'm
going
to
be
selecting
some
kind
of
soup
and
get
it
in
that
delicious
sourdough
bread
bowl.
This
visit
I
went
with
the
Mexican
corn
chowder.
I
also
chose
mac
n
cheese.
My
girlfriend
ordered
the
broccoli
cheddar
soup
in
the
edible
bowl
and
a
sandwich.
We
ordered
for
dine
in
and
were
given
a
little
buzzer
which
would
let
us
know
when
the
food
was
served.
Maybe
10
minutes
later
the
buzzer
went
off
and
I
went
to
collect
the
food.
The
most
interesting
thing
was
that
our
food
was
packaged
up
for
take
away
rather
than
for
dine
in
which
I
thought
was
bizarre.
Everything
was
individually
wrapped
and
sealed
up.
At
our
booth
we
had
to
open
everything
and
basically
serve
it
ourselves.
My
girlfriend
went
up
to
them
and
asked
them
for
plates
and
cutlery
as
that
is
what
we
were
used
to
being
served
on.
She
was
informed
that
at
this
time
they
don't
do
that
and
will
be
starting
that
soon.
Strange.
With
that
small
issue
aside
everything
was
great.
The
bread
is
so
fresh
and
tasty.
The
soups
were
great.
The
sandwich
had
a
great
flavour.
Mac
n
cheese
was
perhaps
the
best
I
have
had
at
a
fast
food
restaurant
in
a
very
long
time.
Overall
a
pretty
solid
experience
with
a
small
blemish
being
that
we
were
expecting
to
be
served
on
plates
and
given
proper
cutlery.
Maybe
the
next
time.
