Panera Bread - Winston Salem

This is my happy place! Food is for eating, and good food is to be enjoyed.

I love so many things about Panera, the most important being their devotion to clean, unprocessed food. But I was blown away by the new store. The floor plan was open with lots of windows and comfy seating for different size parties. I appreciated the self-order kiosks and the helpful staff ready to assist me. I was worried when they closed in the former outdoor seating but they put a cute patio out front instead. And it has a drive-thru!! I’m hoping the new Panera in Clemmons is very similar!!

I have been to several Panera Breads in the area and out of NC. The new renovations and service was great. Like the new look and everyone was very friendly! Coffee was great and bagel with cream cheese was delicious! Met that morning with my daughter to talk.

This was our first time eating at Panera Bread. Of course we picked a busy Saturday to try it out. The cashier was patient and made suggestions. Once we sat down manager stopped by asking us how we were doing and then took any dishes we were done with off the table. We had a great experience and will definitely be back!!

You all know how much I love Panera Bread, but I so wish they would bring back the Sierra Turkey Sandwich...
