The Chipotle Chicken Avo Melt, Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad Sandwich, Almond Pastry, and Cherry Pastry are so, so good. My family loves when I order Panera!
If I could afford it, we'd eat Panera every day. And I wouldn't have to cook. The food's always fresh, packaged perfectly and absolutely delicious.

Soups were good, but there was not much potato in the potato soup. Sadly, $10 for a 6oz "bowl" of soup is NOT worth it. The French Dip was bland and the au jus was extremely sweet and not good. Not sure we will order again.

The food was good with a couple of exceptions. It was kind of a late order, but the Soup/Mac and Salad left a bit to be desired. The Greek Salad had a couple of pieces of rusty lettuce in it, which is quite unappetizing & there were NO noodles in the Chicken Noodle Soup. It looked like I got the dregs from the bottom of the pot. The chicken was mostly tiny shreds that settled to the bottom. The Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice Soup & Broccoli Cheddar Soup were good, although all of the soups had too much salt in them. I need to limit my sodium. People can add salt to their food, but I can't take any out.
The Oatmeal Raisin with Berries Cookie & Candy Cookie were very good. Surprisingly, the Chocolate Chipper Cookie was just ok.
The Fruit Cups had a nice variety & quantity of fruit & I like that they cleaned the pineapple very well (no pieces of hard skin still in it) & that all of the fruit was sliced into small pieces, instead of huge chunks.

I ordered the Shrimply Baja Salad. The description says it has crisp romaine and lists the other items. Instead, I received a bowl of mixed greens. They were not a listed ingredient. I hate mixed greens and never order a salad with them! Also, when getting delivery, the dressing always comes in a separate little cup. I wanted to taste the "zesty, smoky lemon vinaigrette" before pouring it over the entire salad. Unfortunately, they had already put it on there. I didn't like it, so between the mixed greens and the dressing, it was terrible, and I wound up throwing it out.
I also ordered the Ranch Parm BLT Salad without the mixed greens. Well, of course, they were in there, anyway. For the first the I am very disappointed in Panera.

The food, as always, was very good. I tried the new Pepperoni Mozzarella Melt and was pleased, although they could add more than one thin layer of pepperoni. The Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup and Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice Soup were excellent. I hadn't ordered from here in a while and was extremely disappointed to see that they stopped including the bread with the soups. The bread has been included for as long as I can remember (over 15 years). Now, if I want it, I have to pay extra. The cost has gone up and the options have gone down. The only choices were a fruit cup, chips, and something else I don't remember. None of those options go with Soup. They could at least include crackers.
