Panera Bread - Allen County

Food is good but it's too high price for what you get.

Store says open online but locked. Staff inside but no posting of closure.

Ordered the Mediterranean bowl off of Door Dash for this Panera Bread Location. I started eating it and at first it wasn't great but not terrible. Well I went to go take a bite and noticed this little gnat or something in my food. I honestly feel so sick to my stomach. I know things happen and it can be missed but I had to post because I feel so disgusted by this.

It has been a few years since I had been to this Panera, was in town, and had decent memories of the food there. So I went in. The current fare was not quite up to snuff.The good things.... Restaurant was clean, staff and service excellent, nice, relaxing vibe.Now for the not so good.....the food firstly. I had 5 items this evening, and one item was up to Panera quality, 3 were mediocre, and 1 which happened to be my favorite menu item at Panera was borderline inedible and should not have been served. The other surprise was the crazy high price for the area. Over $20 for a Pick Two with a bowl of soup instead of a cup, a soft drink and a half price crossaint. NOTE: I did leave a meager $1 tip because the clerk was very good, would have left more if the price had not been out of line for smaller town Midwest.If I could give decimals, I would have given it a 3.5 because of the good help and clean, nice atmosphere. But it is borderline if I ever come back here and give them another chance due to the food quality/high price ratio.

As always, it's a great place to meet and while it is a little more expensive, the food is certainly worth it. Highly recommend the breakfast food!
