Panera Bread - Urbandale

Greeted and had order taken quickly. Staff was personable and efficient. Panera takes a few minutes longer for food than the burger chains but is well worth the wait. Food was hot, fresh and packaged smartly to see the difference between two similar breakfast sandwiches. The sandwich with over-easy egg was cooked perfectly. Bakery item was fresh and delicious.

Nice large outdoor seating; store kept clean and organized. They rarely have bagels; sold out. Love the kiosk self service options. Needs a bike rack for the large bike community, and they're right off the Trail. Preferred locale to SB : ...

As much as I love Panera Bread, I'd like to point out that I've felt like the price has really increased significantly. I totally understand that the qualify of food is exceptional. I paid over $40 dollars yesterday for ordering a Upick2 for my wife and and mac and cheese for my daughter and 5 bagels with cream cheese. I feel like I could have used that same money a few years ago to eat that plus more food. Quality should always mean more money but when quality stays in one spot and the price keeps going up, someone's gotta pay the extra money.

I learned about door dash delivery the hard way: This Panera was quick to help me with my missing item when my child was sick. Everyone who i spoke with (especially the manager) was wonderful and they sure did go above and beyond. Thank you!

You can easily get your own coffee here without having to wait for a barista (Starbucks). They should offer eggs on bagels all day. It's a pleasant place to hang out with outdoor seating, but they could use a bike rack.
