  Food is great. But just used the drive thru and didn't get my chips and only got half a sandwich instead of the whole. Too pricey to make mistakes like that. $15 for half the sandwich and a cup of soup. Awesome.

  This was my first time at a Panera and I was pleasantly surprised how good the food is. Normally I'm not a fan of chain gourmet but I tagged along for a business lunch and left very satisfied. I'm a vegetarian and amateur vegetarian and vegan cook and my experience finding decent options elsewhere, during my time in Chico, was rough. I had the black bean soup and the Mediterranean veggie sandwhich, both were so flavorful and not bland or heavy in a single flavor, i.e. most "Mediterranean" items at other places are heavy on raw red onion and or vinegar with bland tzatziki. Staff was amazing by the way, we were a very large group and they streamlined us perfectly. Also very attentative to patrons all around. This location was emasculately clean as well. The only reason I didn't give a full 5 star was because I want to see what other options they can come up with for vegetarians. Corn chowder? Veggie gumbo? Hint hint ;-)
