Panera Bread - Town of Vestal

Panera BREAD. Well, not for us. The bread for my son's sandwich? Nope, we don't have it. The chips for his side? Nope, all gone. The baguette for my side? No sir, that's bread, we don't stock bread here.I think 80% of the time I order here, which isn't very often because I can't get my ordered.Whoops, at the window just now, and they ran out of Bacon too. Un-freaking real...

Always enjoyed coming here since it opened. But prices go up there, we go less. The foods are still good but $28 for a large and small mac and cheese, 2 little baguettes, and 2 coffees- ouch. Sadly, we agreed. This was probably our last time eating there.

We took family for dinner at Panera. Seven people, two ordered from the children's menu. The bill was $110+. They were out of stock on so many items. No baguettes. No pizza. No green tea. Many sandwiches were unavailable. We each found some small item to order as by the time we sorted out all the unavailable options it was too late for us to go anywhere else. Will never go again.Dietary restrictions: They were out of almost all options.

Very nice and clean store. There seemed to be a lot of folks milling about behind the counter but only 1 person servicing walk-in customers. A very nice person (clearly working hard) and efficient once she got to me (I just wanted a cup of coffee) but was a bit of a head scratcher for me as I was waiting. All and all, it was good.
