Panera Bread

Panera has its niche, and I didn't think I'm their target demographic. While the food is high quality for what is essentially fast food, it is bland and pricednhigh. For example $14 and change for a sandwich vs it's neighbors an Outback Steakhouse with a half.dozen lunch selections.under $14 and includes wait service or a modern trendy Tex Mex called El Sarape which similarly offers a wait service and higher quality for a lower average lunch cost.

Looks nothing like the description. Where the cheese and avocado. Just a bit of canned chicken and bread. Save your money.

First, I love the menu and food. However this location constantly let's me down via the drive-thru. Do you put your second rate employees at the drive through? My orders never come correctly. Some little mistakes, others big ones. What IS consistent is the lack of attention to orders in the drive through at the west Olympia location. Sadly, just can't waste my money and lunch break here anymore. And management does not care.

Food is aways good but way over-priced. 16 bucks for 1/2 tuna salad and a drink. Staff was professional but not friendly.

Great portions, and the sweet lady at the front counter is such a joy, and super helpful when trying to figure out portion sizes.
