Panera Bread - Aiken

Thai salad was excellent...............................................

I come here often in the morning. Staff are very friendly and inviting. I also use the Panera app to order rapid pickups at the service counter, and the food is always ready when I come by (abt 5 minute drive). Their food is fresh, so I keep coming back.

The food is delicious, but the portion sizes for the price could be larger; there’s even no drink included with the meal. The Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich had the best portion size—it was huge, almost like two sandwiches—and it was absolutely amazing!

The frozen strawberry lemonade didn't quite taste like traditional lemonade; it felt more like blended strawberries. However, it was still delicious. The broccoli and cheddar soup is fantastic, and the turkey sandwich was pretty good.

You can't beat the taste and quality of the food here, although the prices are definitely higher than some competitors. My favorites are the soufflés, but unfortunately, they were sold out this morning. However, the over-easy sandwich was an excellent alternative. I wish there were discounts or a rewards program for frequent customers. I have DashPass, so a rewards system would make the prices a bit easier to digest. (Pun intended!) :D
