Panera Bread - Littleton

The new signature takes chicken sandwich. not quite what I thought it was, but it was still very good.

In the past I have enjoyed eating lunch at a Panera’s, especially their salads. I was shocked today at a large salad with chicken a large ice tea costing over $20 dollars plus tip!!! This is not a high end lunch restaurant!!! The chicken was no longer white chicken breast, but dark greasy thigh meat. The shredded cabbage was black where it had gone bad, the kale wilted, the salad dressing almost undetectable And the ice tea watered down. I went home made a sandwich for lunch, since I didn’t eat much of the salad was still very hungry.

The food I had was really good, but their prices have increased expediently!! I had the pick 2 meal (sandwich salad) and a fountain drink. $22.00!! Like I said it was good, but not $22 good. I’ll probably go back again, but be more careful of what I order. I cannot afford a quick lunch if this price.

Just stopped at this location for some coffee and bagels. We asked for toasted bagels with butter and got toasted bagels with frozen butter in little packets. The coffee stand had no milk there and when I asked for it, they told me to use the little half-and-half containers. I could've done the same thing at 7-Eleven for a lot less money!

20 minutes for a bowl of soup is not cool. I would understand if the restaurant was over 1/2 full. Staff eating and 5 people standing around while 2 guys bust there hump down the line. I had a chain store years ago wouldn't allow it. Kiddo love the soup though.
