Panera Bread - Saint Louis Park

We use the app to place orders for collection quite often. The food is consistently good with a decent amount of healthy options. Even if the store is busy, pick-up orders are pretty fast ready.

On December 18, 2020, I ordered from the Modern Caprese Sandwich and chicken noodle soup from the You pick Two (sandwich soup and side choice of chips) options on the menu although the food was very tasty and yummy. It was expensive, especially for the portion and the food not coming with a drink. Overall, I had a great experience at Panera

Visited this location after moving furniture last week on a Thursday night. We were very hungry and it was very busy. The wait was not long, the food was great and what made me want to write this review was the all star who helped us as a cashier: she was incredibly positive and friendly and made us laugh with a good joke. During a lull of counter orders she buzzed around and made sure everyone was taken care of, spreading the best vibes! While waiting for our order we could see that the folks in the kitchen were working hard under stressful conditions. Service workers are real MVPs of this pandemic and we very much appreciated their efforts with the clear challenge of being understaffed.

I truly think this is one of my favorite spots. I ordered the Broccoli Cheddar soup and grilled cheese, and the soup was delicious. However, the sandwich was much cheesier than at other places I've been to, which I absolutely loved. The checkout staff was very friendly and checked in to ensure everything was satisfactory. The kitchen staff was also nice when I picked up my order. Overall, it felt like a very warm and inviting place with great food, although it seemed a bit understaffed.

The cashier was very friendly, the service was quick, and the food was of high quality at a reasonable price. I loved my favorite strawberry poppy salad and the new spicy chicken sandwich! Both were delicious!
