Panera Bread - West Des Moines

If it were 30% cheaper, I would never go. but as it stands, it's just a bit too expensive for me. if they eat a inherit to a great fortune absolutely here it is really good, but otherwise they save it for when their parents buy

Great service! Great food!!! Recommend for all patient and respectful people! Enjoy!!!

I have gone to this Panera a lot it 's close to where I work, so it 's convenient. Perhaps it 's the post Covid worker shortage, but there is a significant percentage of employees here that simply aren 't confident (trained to listen! with their jobs. The newest, greenest, SLOWEST team members seem to be assigned to the register. Ringing up an order no problem. If, however, the order includes a pastry item (apparently within the domain of the register area thing go off the rails. It literally turns in to a slow motion movie. They must leave the register and wonder (aimlessly, with confusion into the world of food . It took me 15 mins to get a cinnamon roll! And I was second in line. OMG! Or, another time, I said I was ordering to dine in with a dumbfounded, slow, and confused look, she proceeded to nope around figuring how to box up the item which she did. I reminded her that it was for dine in, she then tried to remove it from the box I gave up and told her I 'll take it as is. Jesus! If this place weren 't close by, I 'd bail. I WILL bail I just convinced myself. Thanks Yelp!

One of my fav coffee stops. I prefer their Hazlenut, with half half and 2 or 3 sugars, depending which size I get. And yeah, I go inside and mix it myself. (hey, I'm like that. ALWAYS clean restroom facilities, and I hope Mgmt takes note and mentions this to the cleaning crew.Good job Panera!btw... I took this pic in the pking lot. (not driving My taste for coffee is matched by my taste in music.
