Passing through Marion OH, needed Internet and hot coffee early Sunday morning, Panera delivered.
Excellent service by an older lady, great conversation, felt welcome.
Older facility, you can feel it's age and deteriorating, but clean and good atmosphere, cozy vibes.
Food was passable, I had an Asiago bagle with walnut cream cheese and hazelnut coffee black with honey 🍯 I love that Panera continues to provides honey.
In general Panera has gone down in quality, the beagle was tiny and it didn't feel fresh.
This chain feels like a dying breed, empty, no body here, few staff, not much variety in choices, felt like a cutting cost limited operation.
I remember Panera used to be my favorite spot, vibrant and alive, always a line of people and the portions were huge, giant beagles etc.
Panera once was the new kid on the block, the spot to be early morning with your headphones 🎧 💻 ☕
Long gone days.
