Panera Bread - Saratoga Springs

You can expect the typical Panera experience at this restaurant, with the option to use the drive-through service.

Kiosks are always down which makes getting a simple cup of coffee from the unlimited coffee club annoying. You then have to resort getting on line, which at times can be long, and bother a hard working short staff just to get an empty cup.

Broccoli cheddar soup is really good. Hate that they keep changing their menu. They don't have my favorite sandwich anymore which is sierra turkey. Sooo good really miss it and where is the chocolate duo cookie?. Rarely go here anymore as my favoritesno longer exist.

We ordered our food and were seated in a lovely spot next to the fireplace, which created a wonderful ambiance. I tried the almond sesame chicken salad and it was fantastic - freshly made with just the perfect amount of dressing. We also shared a broccoli cheddar cheese bowl, which was delicious. The experience was overall great, with clean restrooms and excellent staff.

The food was delicious, but the restaurant appeared to be unclean. There were crumbs scattered throughout the floor, seats, and tables, and the men's restroom had a strong odor of urine. However, I did notice a staff member cleaning, so perhaps they were just in the process of tidying up and I happened to arrive at an unfortunate moment.
