Panera Bread - Valrico

I went with my big daughter (she is an Air Force Dependent), I am a Vietnam Vet, and we were our choice from a menu especially for military, we paid nothing and got a great meal. When I came home from Vietnam, I quickly found out not to let people know because the news media had stirred up the pot so to speak against the war, well the Lowly GI was caught in the middle, which we at the point, just don't say people. This has just taken life out of me, how could my compatriots leave me,, well, these many years I feel guilty of being treated so, and the little girl waiting for us could not have been more kind. I always liked Panera Bread, but now I'm going out of the way....

Great tasting food always fresh not long wait, something almost like eating Home Cooked ..

Wait for a soufflé and forgot to take a picture of it. They are great, but they have only a limited amount available. The staff is always beautiful here and the location is clean.

First tried PB in Detroit a few years back and loved it. They've gone to this down here every Saturday morning and don't regret it. Breakfast sandwiches are made while you are waiting so very fresh. Have made the 4 cheese souffle and it is very good. Nina in the register is cheerful and remembers our group of guys when someone misses a personal touch. I mentioned fresh coffee... Don't start the day without him!

This is a very spacious Panera bread with lots of seating. You walk into the beautiful pastry counter. The employees while ordering were very kind. I also ordered a latte, love their lattes! The lady making the latte was very kind. The pick up counter was messy and unorganized, it wasn’t that busy in there and they just seemed frazzled. The drink station was clean. Overall nice location and the food was tasty.
