Panera Bread - Erie

Took a short break here for some dinner on my way to Cleveland. This place was empty on a Friday night. Service was good and helpful. Food was good. Ordered the pick two 1)Chicken Caesar salad and 2)Tuscan chicken sandwich. They were good except the sandwich was a little plain. Overall it was a good rest stop.

Not my best Panera experience. Food was great but I wasn't aware the items I ordered came with a side and was not given a choice. They automatically have us all baguettes. In years of going to Panera I've never not been asked if I want chips, an apple or bread till now. I'll definitely be back, I just know to ask about the side at this location.

I went to Panera this morning and asked for the Bakers Dozen with Cream Cheese. The cashier helping me was very kind and when I asked for plates and napkins (I am in a wedding and didn’t want to stop at another store she provided them to me with a smile on her face. My receipt said her name was Bethany. She was great! Good job! And the bagels are delicious as always. :

It's expensive, yes. But I've never gotten anything that tasted bad here. Now that I have the gotten the bad out of the way: this food is yummy. The rewards program is easy to use (similar to Starbucks but you get rewards more often), the egg whites are fluffy and the chive and onion cream cheese spread is amazing. Edit: I love bread bowls

Very expensive and quality was not that big suppe was cold. it should not cost 18.00 for suppensalat n drink! will not be bback
