Panera Bread

I'm a huge Panera fan and go there often. I had a bowl of French Onion Soup in a bread bowl this past Sunday and was disappointed. Way smaller than last year. Barely one cup of soup in the small bread bowl. It was noticeably smaller than in years' past, which I guess is the trend, but it is crazy and not worth it. I would have just ordered the soup in a regular bowl with the side of bread to have the right proportion. I won't order it again. My sister had the BBQ chicken salad and loved it. She says it is her go to order at Panera. We sampled the various lemonades and charged lemonades and like the flavors but they are high in calories and unnecessary to have caffeine, so I'm not a fan of those. If someone is reading this at Panera: Keep the flavors, make them sugar free and lose the caffeine. I really enjoy the strawberry-watermelon-mint but won't drink it again because of calories. Likewise mango flavor. Service was good. Parking is easy and plentiful at the Galleria. I go to Panera for work meetings and because it is convenient, but now I know what I will not order, but will continue to enjoy it.

I met here for my bible study and it was very clean. It was a great place to meet with friends and the staff was very attentive and friendly. I made a mistake on my order and the staff member was kind enough to correct it for me. They had a large meeting room if you need to meet with a large group. I would call ahead to book the room if necessary. They also had a great area to sit outside. Each of the tables had umbrellas to shade from the sun. Most of the tables also had a receptacle to charge your phone or plug in your laptop. This is a great place to do your school work if you need to get out of the house. I love Panera and would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone. Thank you.
