Panera Bread - Middletown

Brand new store, clean and staff are all new and will need to be trained a little more on the hospitality skills. The staff are friendly. They always make an effort to provide a good service yet they?re usually late on their preparation. So far nothing to complain about.

Went there yesterday for lunch. Was my second time there so I didn't think I would be disappointed. I Had the Lobster Macaroni and Cheese. IT WAS DELICIOUS! The service was also good!

Nice location, bright, clean, inviting. Pleasant outside seating. Many food and beverage choices. Good place to get together with friends for a meal or dine alone. Good soups. Food is ok, a step above fast food.

The Avacado Chicken Melt was very good. All the flavors really matched and it was just so good. Probably is my new favorite sandwich at panera now. The caesar was also great. It?s a classic that is hard to get wrong and panera did it well. The mac and cheese was also good as always. The flavors always good and i just really enjoyed it. The smoothie was ok. Compared to everything else I would give it a 6/10. What threw me off is the after taste. I understand in most strawberry banana smoothies there is gonna be an after taste. However this one was almost unbearable. But it was still good.

We stopped so that my husband could get his favorite soup and he was not disappointed. I ordered a favorite of mine, a tuna sandwich and was very disappointed. The tuna salad was the consistency of soup and tasteless.
