Panera Bread - Silver Spring

There is a woman who works here, I should get her name, she works the front register the most morning. ..she is an absolute joy. She smiles always and friendly and welcomes people well.

I love Panera Bread's food. It is quite chic (cold in winter), because it sits in the shopping center. Good place for a bite to eat. Love their soups and they have friendly service. We even met Matthew Lesko there (or a look-a-like ... not sure)!

I don't give 5 stars for 2 reasons: first the checkouts spoke and even if we have eye contact, did not approach the register to take my order, I need to ask who it would do to stop the conversation, also noticed that the portions of food were smaller than other Panera Bread restaurants. Everything else was good, food served quickly and delicious, place was clean.

Food is excellent, fresh and delicious. Wish the serving sizes were a note larger for the price, but quality is there. Location is also convenient, and you can eat both outside and inside with a shopping mall view.

I go here quite a lot as its easy and convenient and spacious. Its in a mall so there is no exciting city scape to look at but that's not why I go. Easy breakfast, coffee, plenty of room. Only once was the food bad and that was with a skeleton crew in a snowstorm, we were just happy they were open. If you like a typical Panera then this will meet your needs.
