Panera Bread

"I was at Panera for a quick pickup from ordering online. I had the Margarita Flatbread that I always order and it was really good...as usual. This time I also ordered mac and cheese, and it was very good too. But I ordered something new this time, wild rice soup! OMG, it was SPECTACULAR! I really think it was the best soup I've ever had. I'm going back today for more. Stop in and try it out. You'll be glad you did."

"Downtown location is easy to get in and out of. I love thier Fuji apple salad! The salad dressing is so good. Soup is always hot and tasty. Great place to get a good lunch if you're on a time crunch."

"Today I got a dozen bagels. They were out of half the bagels I ordered. I didn't know what they had available, so I said I would take what they had. Instead of a dozen savory bagels, I got essentially a dozen sweet bagels. That didn't really work for the picnic that the bagels were for making sandwiches on. Not only that, there were two everything bagels in with the cinnamon crunch and chocolate chip, but they weren't separately wrapped. That meant all the bagels tasted like my least favorite flavor: onion/garlic/cinnamonsugar. Yuck. I also ordered the bagels sliced, and only four of them were, which meant making sandwiches on torn apart bagels. I ended up getting 12 bagels instead of the baker's dozen I had paid for, but that was on me for not checking better."

"Spacious and clean. Friendly service. I got the new ‘sausage, scrambled egg and cheese on Asiago bagel’. Absolutely delicious."

"Besides being exceptionally clean, friendly and the food is delicious with very little wait time, we experienced the humanity of The Panera at Downtown Boise on Myrtle. We are in Boise staying with our adult son who needs constant care. He lives in a large apartment complex where there’s a lot of elderly, disabled people who don’t drive, and many who seem lonely. At the end of the day one of the employees asked if we would like any pastries for free. We said, “sure, we’ll give some to the residence at our sons apartment complex!” When she found out these treats could go to people in need, she then came back with 4 large bags of bread, muffins, sweets and bagels! You can see in the picture the employee went all out! The tenants not only seemed thrilled with the kindness of Panera, but some seemed genuinely happy to have someone knock on their door to have a little bit of human interaction! I’m purposely leaving the name out of the employee, but they should get a pat on the back! Thank you Panera on Myrtle! It was a generous donation, which touched quite a few people, many who can’t afford to splurge on an extra treat for themselves!"
