Panera Bread - San Jose

Great service, great food, they even reminded me that I came a birthday bag!

The location is perfect, and the staff is very helpful and presents a very positive atmosphere in

I had no waiting food was nice and hot!! In and out there quickly

Pick 2 sandwich and soup combos are great! Love Creamy Tomato Soup. Very delicious. Also Chipotle Chicken Avacado Melt is great. We tried Modren Caprese Sandwich. That was pretty good. There was only one person in the register, but there were 10 people in the line. It took a while to place the order. I hope they will take more labour during working hours. Or rather good place to visit.

Pros Convenient source of good, reasonably priced bagels. Yummy soups, salads, sandwiches. Breakfast sandwiches and souffles are great. Rewards program is a powerful enticement to make a reason to have some bagels. Tuesday bagel Baker's dozen deal (say that three times fast). Online ordering with rapid pickup option. Cons Value. The best things on the menu seem like they are priced just a little higher than they should be. Sometimes rapid pickup isn't. When they are busy, sometimes the order takes longer than the app says it will. This can be managed by just ordering for earlier than you expect to get there. Inventory for online ordering doesn't seem very accurate. Some items may be gone before your order is filled, causing a delay when you pickup. Others may show out of stock, but when you are there, they have a counter full.
