I did not expect Panera bread out of all places to absolutely kill a steak sandwich. Tear jerkingly good flavor which only magnified the disappointment I had with the 2025 economy portions.
The soup was good too but the quantity just ain't it. Lots of bread to make up for the empty space in my stomach though.

As always, Panera Bread's flavors are delicious. The bread bowls, broccoli cheddar soup and cranberry walnut sandwich in a Sandwich and Soup/Mac is so good, but everything is super expensive for really small portions. Debating on whether the Tropical Green Smoothie was worth it as you pay $7+ for something that would be an XS/Small size anywhere else. The packaging is horrible as well, each item is wrapped in plastic paper and nothing else. I guess you supposedly "get what you pay for", but Panera is on the edge of if it's worth the cost versus quality.

good quality but portion sizes are inexcusably small for price.
when compared to a subway footlong, they're just under a quarter of the size while costing more.
the soup is a better value.

It has become one of my favorites! Just love that Sandwich and Salad combo. Perfect amount of food. Both are always so tasty and fresh! Yum!

The pumpkin/squash soup was off the chain. Absolutely DELICIOUS!!! The half turkey avocado BLT was also delectable. I should have ordered a whole sandwich. Next time, for sure. And believe me, there will be a next time. Way to go, Panera.
