Stopped in here on our way home from Vermont for a bite to eat. Service here is fast and friendly and I must say this Panera was absolutely spotless. We ordered our pick 2, filled our fountain drinks and grabbed a seat in a booth… shortly after a young woman brought our food rite over to us. Everything tasted delicious and fresh, I’m a big fan of the frontega chicken sandwich and the broccoli cheddar soup! After we finished all of our food I went to go and dispose of my trash and the young lady took my tray from me which I thought was very nice of her. Very pleasant experience here we will definitely be stopping in again! Side note: they have amazing vanilla yogurt with strawberries and granola at the front and it is absolutely to die for. One of my favorite snacks!

Lemon Orzo Soup & Power Kale Ceaser Simply awesome. Very well balanced flavor. Presentation — two thumbs up. I totally recommend!

This is the great new place in Rutland that people talk about? It’s a fast food joint but way more expensive. Plan on paying $ 8 for a grill cheese and waiting in the drive-thru for a good bit. Chicken soup is salty.

Not good for business travelers. So I was staying near Rutland and needed some breakfast and wifi and figured Panera Bread or McDonalds would probably have the most reliable wifi connection in town. I admit I’m not a fan of chain restaurants since what is the point of traveling if you’re going to eat in a place that is exactly the same as hundreds of others. My oatmeal was fine, the employees were nice and the place was quiet and completely empty BUT at Panera Bread, the wifi automatically kicks you off after about half an hour and you can’t log back in, which for me, is reason enough to never return. Next time I’m in town for business, I won’t be doing any business with Panera Bread.

Wow. The warmest staff I’ve ever come across — all of them. On top of that great good. The salad and mozzarella with tomato panini both went down a treat. Worth making an effort to visit, and a no brainer when in need of a pit stop en route between VA and NY!

In my opinion, the sandwiches taste deli fresh — not like from a chain(example — Subways). The new location in Rutland is clean, large, bright, and easy to get in and out of. I always leave satisfied that I’ve eaten healthy. The staff folks are very friendly but consistently have difficulty finding people’s tables when bringing out orders. My last visit I waited over 20 minutes for a turkey sandwich. The waitress couldn’t find my table so gave up and left the sandwich on the take-out counter. I only discovered it when I got impatient and approached the counter to check the status of my order. So… a good meal for a good price. Just don’t be in a hurry!

Typical Panera. Good coffee, bad hot chocolate, the usual breakfast(and dessert) pastries, soups, sandwiches etc all about average. The only place in town open past 6(although I think Clem’s is experimenting with late hours on the weekends actually). Coffee Exchange and Café Terra are better when they’re open, but this works.
