Panera Bread — Restaurant in Fenton

Oh, Panera! Saint Louis Bread Co.

Both names, you think of yummy food!

This is a healthier choice compared to fast food, but not healthy in general.

I have strayed from my usual broccoli cheddar soup bread bowl, and every single time it's tasted great!

Sandwiches? Gotta love them! Not everyone is a fan of the macaroni and cheese sandwich, and honestly I was mildly disappointed to find out the little slices of white stuff was "Parmesan crisps" and not chicken. Regardless, tasted good!

Soups? I've only had Broccoli cheddar soup, but I've heard some of the soups are watery and some are good! Refer to other people's reviews for soup. I highly recommend broccoli cheddar soup. It's way more delicious than you'd think.

Bakery? I've had all sorts from this! A delicious treat to go along any food is a must. They even have deals for reduced price ones! I was a huge fan of the brownies back when they looked different, but I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to the powdered sugar on the new ones, so I can't fault them on that. It's a good brownie!! And the powdered sugar was powdered sugar. Cookies are always good! Muffies are AMAZING.

Sour dough is really good, and the chips. The baguette that comes with soups by default is not a sour dough baguette, it's french! They just don't usually say french when talking about it :)

Price is obviously going to be more expensive than a meal from McDonald's, but in my opinion it's worth it. I always feel sick after fast food from surrounding establishments, but usually never feel bad after food from here. I have some sensitivity with milk, so occasionally the Mac and cheese will set my stomach off (though it's delicious and I get it over and over knowing I'll regret it lol)

Get it! The line is long during the rush hours, like lunch and dinner, but...

Two nights in a row I have visited St Louis Bread Company at this location in Fenton, Missouri. Prior, I had not visited since before COVID.

The Sausage and Pepperoni Flatbread was so good that I was almost drooling as I craved for another one. To my disappointment, they had run out of the cheese needed for this selection.

After reviewing the menu, I ordered a Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt. Wow! It was so palatable and delicious! The chicken was shredded. Every bite was sensational! I'm having a Pavlov's Reaction just writing this! I do enjoy delicious food. Kettle Chips came with the sandwich, though I believe there may be another option.

The Agave Lemonade was worthy of a refill (free). Definitely not a typical favored lemonade.

Dessert was a Vanilla Cinnamon Roll. Heated for a few seconds made this pastry absolutely delightful.

When my name was called that my order was ready. I found this moment to be a bit ackward for me and slightly embarrassing.

As I was dining solo, I chose not to leave my purse, full beverage, and pastry unattended at a table. At this point as I stood at the counter, I was already holding all of the above. I asked for a tray, but there were none. Clumsily, I stacked the Cinnamon roll on top of my beverage and clutched the plate of food tightly to my chest as I walked to a table.

Other than my awkward moment, the dining experience was great. The beverage cup will not be filled until after I get my plate or I probably should just forgo the mouthwatering, scrumptious, frosted...

When you wait 5-6 minutes at the counter as two employees talk....then when you ask politely if anyone is working on this side, you are told, "I'm off the clock". The same person I overheard refusing to fill creamers for her boss. "I'm off in a couple of minutes. I'm leaving." That's a 60 something's response to her boss asking her nicely to refill creamers. I worked at the bread co in Winchester, MO for 2 years and if I had done either one of those things I'd be written up if not fired. I then watched her lean on the counter while I guess waiting for her ride and she was in such a hurry to leave she stopped working before her shift was over? lol then she proceeds to leave with a big bag of goods that I'm sure she got with her discount. Get rid of people who only work for you so they can have benefits! The woman had no social skills or manners about herself, no sense of urgency, no self-awareness, and she needs to go work somewhere else where she isn't interacting with people. I had been coming in consistently to work on my laptop and after that I will not be. I felt like an idiot standing there and then having her say that to me and then continue to ignore me. It was embarrassing.

Also, another lady there and I discussed this as she overheard both. We also both realized that neither one of us saw anyone in the dining room doing anything. Not one table wipe down, nothing. I was there for...
