Panera Bread — Restaurant in Effingham

I recently visited Panera and had an overall pleasant experience. The combination of a cozy ambiance, friendly staff, and delicious food made it a satisfying visit. Here's my detailed review:

First and foremost, the atmosphere at Panera was warm and inviting. The restaurant had a relaxed vibe, with comfortable seating arrangements and plenty of natural light streaming in. It provided a pleasant environment to enjoy a meal or catch up with friends. Moving on to the most crucial aspect—the food. Panera's menu offers a wide range of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. During my visit, I opted for their signature sandwich, the Bacon Turkey Bravo. The sandwich was prepared to perfection, with fresh ingredients that blended harmoniously. The combination of smoked turkey, crispy bacon, tomato, lettuce, and the tangy special sauce created a mouthwatering flavor profile. The bread was soft and freshly baked, adding a delightful texture to the sandwich. I also enjoyed a side of their creamy tomato soup, which was rich and satisfying.

The cookie was soft and chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness and an abundance of chocolate chips. I really enjoyed Mango...

I love Panera Bread. There are many salad, sandwiches, soup, drink and bread options. They have a wide selection of bakery items too. Most menu meals can be customized as well.

Breakfast options include yogurt, fruit cups, and oatmeal. Lunch or dinner options include a variety of soups, salads, and sandwiches. Mac and cheese is also available for the kids. Souffles are exclusively available in the morning hours, although all other items are available throughout the day. Delivery and a rewards program are offered by Panera too, along with order online and pick up options. Great for a quick...

Breakfast: First time eating steel cut oats w/ a cinnamon sugar crunch* & strawberries. Made w/water. Good- 3 stars due to the uncertainty if the ingredients are all "clean" or have added preservatives like a corn starch to thicken. Yup The Cinnamon crunch should be Cinnamon and sugar mixed but No they add yucky "modified corn starch & soybean oil* I have made at home w/milk, Cinnamon & honey & is not thick. Many fast food restaurants have a central distributor where all foods arrive prepackaged = unhealthy additives in the USA however, banned in Europe and they unwrapped to reheat to serve. They have a full functional kitchen but lacks the homemade grilling or baking from scratch. Not difficult to make oatmeal on...
