Panera Bread — Restaurant in Ohio

I’ve been a customer for years but I just realized that they don’t wash the lettuce and the vegetables that are being used. I ordered a salad and with the dressing on top I haven’t realized yet, but as soon as I got to bottom of the plate, I tasted dirt. Literally DIRT. I went to manger to make them aware of this, and she started arguing with me that nobody else complained about it, that it is true that the lettuce have not being washed since it’s “pre-washed” from the factory, which I believe it’s been done by a machine, and it would be understandable if, done it in huge quantities, some dirt can still be present in the bags they deliver. Anyway, I wasn’t asking for a refund or anything, but it’s the rudeness of the lady behind that cashier, that was awful. I’ve been eating dirt for lunch, and not even an apology, just arguing that nobody has ever complained about it. Honestly, I prefer the one in boardman. The staff was really kind and helpful with all of my questions. Never going back to the Canfield location! Terrible...

We love everything about Panera! The bagels of course! But the other breakfast menu items are yummy too. The steel cut oatmeal, the breakfast soufflé and other healthy breakfast foods. The lunch menu offers lots of tasty and good for you choices. The new and creative lunch menu additions are so welcome! I like quinoa, kale and avocado and I know Panera will give me menu options with those foods. I always have to have a bowl of their, oh so good soup! And I always take home loaves of Panera bread especially because they don't use bromides and other not good for you chemicals and ingredients in their bakery items. Sooo much to like about Panera: their giving and charity work, no tipping because they pay a living wage, and every location, I've been to has a welcoming fireplace with comfy fireside seating. Another big plus is that they never try to rush your stay; that means friends and family can leisurely enjoy good food and a social visit....

I was in the mood for a breakfast sandwich & coffee the other morning. Driving through Boardman, Ohio I spotted a Panera Bread. I’ve always had a good experience & meal here, so into the parking lot I went. This Panera had a drive-thru, but I felt like dining in. I went to the counter to place my order when I noticed a few items seemed to have been removed. The hostesses informed me that the menu had changed. I was not super surprised by this, Panera was purchased from the same company that owns “Crispy Cream”. I ordered the Bacon, egg cheese breakfast sandwich & a cappuccino. The sandwich was hot & tasty & the cappuccino was, as always, delicious. All & all, it was a very pleasant visit & dining experience. I will definitely be back to get coffee &...
