Panera Bread - Albuquerque

My granddaughter recently had oral surgery, but still had a craving for Panera's famous Broccoli Cheddar soup in a bread bowl. We decided to go through the drive-thru, where there was a small mix-up with our order, but it was resolved promptly. We received the correct broccoli and cheddar soup in a bread bowl, not Mac and cheese in a bread bowl. The food was delicious and remained hot on the way home.

This was my first time trying out Panera and I was pleasantly surprised. It was conveniently located near my hotel, so I decided to try it out. I ordered a classic grilled cheese sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent and the restaurant wasn't too crowded, making for a pleasant dining experience.

Upon entering the restaurant, we were welcomed by the friendly staff who were quick to answer any questions we had. They provided great recommendations and even offered us samples. I absolutely love the tomato soup and coffee cake here. The seating area was spotless and inviting. I will definitely be coming back.

I like this one, unlimited sippers here.. make way. For real though fresh coffee they always got the half and half on deck. That’s what I’m here for this is basically a non alcoholic bar in my eyes. Self service for the most part just let the cashier know I’m redeeming my unlimited sip reward and bang bang.

Panera bread was quite a surprise for me. Only been here a couple of times and on thing is evident...... there menu is diverse and darn good. The staff was very patient with me since I am new to this new kind of dining with all these healthy kind of alternative foods. Coffee is great, food is great, staff is excellent!
