Panera Bread - East Mesa

I Chose Pick 2: Creamy tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich at about 7:00 pm tonight at the drive through. The soup was good; however, the sandwich was almost like a warmed up leftover. I have never been so disappointed with Panera. I am usually pretty satisfied with the food at Panera’s! What happened?

Ordered the new Tomato Basil BLT, but alot of it was missing especially the bacon…

I love coming here to do work and get a little cup of tea! The atmosphere is so warm and relaxing (especially in the mornings) the staff are friendly and helpful and the tea is always pleasantly warm.

I got soup in a sandwich I don't know where the rest of the sandwich went but it was pretty much missing a lot of stuff or just wasn't a lot on there. And it look like my 3-year-old son put it together.

I have been a big fan of Panera since day one, but like everything else in life, over the years, Panera has changed. Items became more expensive and for a time, the menu became smaller. It appears now the menu is expanding with more different price points. Interesting concept that I encountered at Panera, buy certain sandwiches soup, you are unable to make any changes, and you can purchase the meal at a lower price point. I don't know if this is temporary, but certainly welcome.One of my issues with value is that some of the baked goods are over-priced.
