Amber: Panera Bread located at 900 Lyon Road in Ewing Township is a great place to spend your time with many ways to order and hang out, free Wi-Fi and outlets for students and all alike to do work. Although some would say it’s pretty pricey for what you get. Kasey Hammer came with me today to find out if this campus Town property is worth the effort.
Amber: Tell me what you got today Kasey.
Kasey: broccoli cheddar soup and a turkey avocado BLT
Amber: how are you liking it?
Kasey: it’s good they have good broccoli cheddar soup
Amber: I also did the pick two and I got their classic chicken sandwich and their mac and cheese and I got a side of um a baguette. and since I signed up for the rewards program I had a free pastry so I got a pumpkin cookie which I’m excited to eat
Amber: do you recommend Panera Bread to other students on campus
Kasey: yes I think it’s good they have Outlets when we want to do your homework and you can get whatever you want and get free refills on your drinks. It’s a good place to hang out
Amber: I for one think Panera is very, very expensive um do you agree with that?
Kasey: yes my meal was 17 dollars. [Laughter] yeah
Amber: I don’t know what these little crackers are on my sandwich but I guess I’ll see if I like them
Amber: Do you have any criticisms of Panera Bread?
Kasey: I actually wish they had more hot foods that weren’t soup like hot sandwiches but now they’re getting better with that because they added the chicken sandwiches, but I’ve never had that so I don’t know if that’s good
[Music] Amber: I really like mine it was really good [Music]
Amber: Do you think that Panera is healthy?
Kasey: I think it depends I think if you got like a soup and salad that it could be but every meal gets chips so probably not.
Amber: can you rate Panera Bread out of 10 for me?
Kasey: uh it’s like restaurants I don’t know like four, but out of fast food like at eight
[Music] Amber: all done clean up after yourself [Music] Panera is definitely worth it if you have the money… or a gift card. Thanks for watching!
