Panera Bread Hits & Misses — My Honest Review 🥯

📍Location: Panera Bread – Hodges, Jax.

@Panera Bread

You Pick 2 – $11.48

• Half Toasted Garden Caprese (on Ciabatta) with Light Caramelized Onions. Garlic aioli drizzle made this SO good — juicy, flavorful, and surprisingly satisfying. Loved the freshness and the crisp bread.

⭐️Rating: 8/10

• Mac & Cheese

Rich and super creamy, but a bit too heavy for me.

⭐️Rating: 7/10

Garden Avocado & Egg White Sandwich – $6.59

• Served on an Asiago Bagel

• Garlic Aioli, Light Tomatoes & Light Everything Bagel Seasoning

This was the ultimate breakfast sandwich. The asiago bagel added the perfect flavor kick. Simple, balanced, and delicious.

⭐️Rating: 8/10

🥤Drinks

• Iced Caramel Latte – $4.99

Sweet, chill, decent — not super special but does the job.

⭐️Rating: 7/10

• Mango Smoothie – $6.29

Honestly, the BEST mango smoothie I’ve ever had. So fresh & tropical!

⭐️Rating: 10/10

🍪 Dessert

• Cherry Pastry – $1.95

Flaky and sweet. Nice little treat with coffee.

⭐️Rating: 7/10

Would I go again? Definitely for that smoothie + caprese combo and my favourite asiago bagel 🥯
