    Bacon Turkey brava sandwich
    Patricia R.

    Got there at 1130ish so the line was just two folks ahead of me. Quickly placed my order for the full bacon turkey sandwich with a bag of potato chips and a drink ($12). The sandwich was on a tomato like sweet bread... the top part of the slices were sweet which surprised me. The sliced turkey, bacon and tomato blended together deliciously. It filled me up well. I skipped a dessert and instead drank three cups of the lemonade which is always a treat. Quenched the thirst I didn't realize I had.

    We were traveling for a soccer tournament and the gentleman who waited on us was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was very positive and was trying to help his fellow employees with completing tasks correctly.

    Southwestern chili lime salad (unmixed) and cup of of broccoli cheese soup with a French baguette
    Kelly I.

    5 stars for a great business meeting location and customer service. 3 stars for food. Average of 4 stars because the customer service and meeting location is worth it. Better than Starbucks as a casual business meeting location. Why? Shorter lines, more and better quality food selection, and a seating section that is business friendly (i.e., tucked away from main dining and electric plugs for devices). I showed up at 8:00am for a 1-2 hour meeting that unexpectedly turned into 5 hours. Panera was not particularly busy, and the staff was as kind as anyone could wish. There was no problem with staying. I asked if we need to purchase something else or relocate to another establishment; the staff member said no. She even bused the table and refilled my drink glass for me, not typical services. Breakfast menu is limited. Plenty of fresh bakery choices to carb load. My muffin was good, not great, but moist and fresh. I stayed for lunch after the meeting. I chose from Panera's pick 2 menu: salad and a cup of soup. I had the broccoli, cheddar soup and the Southwestern chili lime salad. I would try the soup again but not the salad. The broccoli, cheese soup tasted of cheese and broccoli but was liberally seasoned with pepper. The amount of pepper placed the soup just on the border between acceptable and too much. Depending on your taste, the soup may be over seasoned. I don't mind a little extra heat or spice. I am unclear if this heavy-handed seasoning is "as the recipe intends" or a one-time accident. If you don't like pepper, I recommend asking before ordering. Looks can be deceiving. The Southwestern chili pepper lime ranch salad, the most expensive salad on the menu currently, was visually unappealing and disappointing as served; the salad appeared primarily comprised of lettuce, cheese, and avocado with limited other ingredients and little dressing. I was pleasantly surprised to discover a plethora of ingredients buried under the lettuce (i.e., chicken, corn, and tomatoes) and even a little too much dressing. I mixed the ingredients and was much happier than with my first bite. While I am accustom to mixing salads, I expect the ingredients on top of the mixed greens not vice versa. I could taste a little tang and heat from the chili pepper, lime dressing. Given the amount of dressing on the salad, the chili lime flavor was very mild. I also found large, mixed green stems in my salad - not pleasant to chew or taste. I dislike salads that are drowned in dressing. This one was not drowned, but it was drowning. The lettuce especially was having trouble "standing up" to the amount of dressing). The liberal dressing application was too close to drowning for my complete enjoyment. The French baguette served with soup was worthy of 5 stars at in a three Michelin star restaurant in a France. A crusty outside enrobes a soft bread center. The inside practically melted in my mouth. Yum! More please.

    Vacuum stored in dining area

    I ordered a toasted bagel and coffee on a Saturday morning when only about four people were in the place. I got a bagel with one corner toasted, I asked for the rest to be toasted. It was explained to me that if they toasted it again that corner would burn. So my options were a toasted bagel with one side burnt. Or an I toasted bagel with one corner toasted. And this seemed completely reasonable to the guy behind the counter. Buy a toaster that works! They were also out of regular coffee. I would give them an extra star for cleanliness, but they seem to store the vacuum in the dining area.

    Every time we order Rapid Pick Up from this place, something is incorrect, made wrong, or missing. Today's mess up included a grilled cheese sandwich which we paid extra for the cheese to be Gouda rather than disgusting American cheese. As you can see in the photo, it was still made with American cheese, and we also have this lovely burnt cheese included. This location doesn't care and a manager is never present: not to talk to paying customers, not to train, coach, or develop their team, and certainly not to make sales and order accuracy a priority. Somebody needs to do everyone a favor to the Apopka community and just close this place down.

    Quick bite to eat. Our cashier was ok. Not 100% knowledgeable of the menu but I think she was new. The manager came over to help so all went well. Food was great.

    Yummy looking pastries, breads and desserts!

If you're looking for healthier food that still has real flavor, this place is definitely worth trying!

I discovered this one-of-a-kind fast casual restaurant through Yelp on a recent visit to the Historic Winter Garden area. Because of the healthier food options and great reviews, my wife and I decided to give it a try since it was just a short distance away from the historic downtown. One other plus we discovered early (because of the sign just inside the doorway): No seed oils are used in their salad dressings, only 100% extra virgin olive oil. My wife chose "Build a Bowl" and added chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted broccoli, and (the very tasty) herb & parmesan mushrooms. I ordered "Build Your Own Salad", and chose the local Italian sausage as my protein, with some crisp greens and sautéed onions, and fresh lemon garlic vinaigrette on the side. We thoroughly enjoyed the flavors and healthy options. We definitely would like to return. This restaurant currently is the first and only one. MISC. The concept was created by the former Miller Ale House President/COO and his family to provide a healthier option for fast casual food. He and some of his family happened to be sitting at some tables when we arrived. Also, although we didn't order these: Sandwiches and Burgers, including Impossible, are available; Soups are made from scratch; Kids Menu; Organic non-alcoholic beverages; Coke/Sprite; and Beer & Wine.

I invited a small group to lunch and celebrated birthdays with a meal for two friends....I bought lunch after signing up for the rewards program. I opted to take the requisite photo of my receipt and have the meal credited to my rewards account. The points were never added. There is no customer service phone number to call for assistance. And the phone number at the corporate office only leads to voicemails. So I sent an email. No reply. It's been 3.5 months. A few days ago I decided to call the store for two reasons (1). to see if they could lead me towards resolving this issue before make my next rewards-motivated purchase, and (2) to see if they would be able to pull together a last minute event for 23 people. When I called, I started by asking about the rewards program issue. A young lady announced that the manager had just left the store 20 minutes earlier. She said he could call me the next day when he returned--somewhere between 12 and 4 pm. I said okay and gave her my name and number. The next day at about 330, I had not heard from the manager Dennis So I called the store and a young man answersed the phone. He didn't identify himself, so I asked if he was Dennis. He asked me to hold on a minute, so I did. An older sounding man answers the phone, also not identifying himself. So I said "hi, are you Dennis?" He replied "if you are selling something, we don't want it". I responded "I'm not selling anything, I'm a customer. I'm trying to reach Dennis". The call was then disconnected. About an hour later I called back, hoping that the call had been inadvertently dropped. Again, the young fee-sounding man answered. I explained that I thought we had bbeen disconnected when I called earlier. He replied "please hold on a moment". I said "okay", feeling that the first call had indeed been disconnected. The call then resumed, with the older sounding gentleman answering "hello". I said "hi". The call was again discontinued and I heard silence. I cant imagine why a business would not want to speak with a person who identifies as a customer. I had a question to ask about their process and an order for food that they sell. While this was at one point my preferred spot for my vegetarian diet, I can honestly say that I would not recommend anyone go there, if their service continues at the level I experienced. Why would anyone call a business that repeatedly hangs up on customers trying to do business with them?

Tons of great options if you're looking to eat some fresh and healthy. I ordered the Wok bowl and although it sounded like my cup of tea, it didn't taste like it. The bowl itself looked delicious, and the rice and chicken were both actually warm to my surprise! The rice itself however was a little hard and the chicken was a bit bland. I wish I would've asked for the sauce on the side or maybe added some sauce to my chicken to give it more flavor as all my sauce ended up on the veggies and really didn't enhance absorb the peanut sauce (which was great). I will say this bowl was packed and honestly offered a good amount of food for the price (~$14 to 15) I would definitely give this place another chance because there were definitely other items that caught my eye. I know the wok bowl definitely has potentially and wouldn't knock this place out after my first experience!

They have only four carb bases and four veggie bases to choose from so it's really hard to be indecisive about what you want. There are pre selected menu options or you can just make your own salad as I chose today. My mix; brown rice, spinach, cucumbers, carrots, pickled onion, and purple cabbage with blacked chicken, thai and jalapeño dressing with wonton crisps. You can also see my drink they have what's basically "Aguas Frescas" options. I got the pomegranate lemon mixed with rishi black tea. But if you don't like tart and sour like me they had two other options on the sweeter side. Perks: Drinks are self serve, you can sample the dressings, and there's no cheat menu options that make you feel guilty for trying to be healthy. Con: The only con is that like any salad place it isn't a load of chicken but it is a still a good amount of protein. If you're looking for cheap protein stick to Chipotle.

    What a wonderful surprise in Downtown Titusville…read more.. I've been hearing about this place for quite a while and finally had an opportunity to try it tonight - it was certainly worth the wait. The place, in it's essence, is basically a pizza joint. But it's no ordinary pizza joint as it's modern, sleek, and has a hip-vibe I have never gotten from any other pizza joint I've been to, to date. You order at the counter right inside the entrance and are warmly greeted and happily guided as it was our first time there. The menu is chock full of the mainstays you expect with a few surprises (for us it was mostly on the dessert side of things.) We ordered the Goat Pizza and each had a different dessert - the pizza was deep-dish (which I loved) and all the desserts we had, from a mint cheesecake, an almond flavored tiramisu-looking cake, to their galaxy cake - we shared and we all loved it. Service was super friendly, super attentive, and it was truly sincere - you just can't fake it. I normally don't talk about bathrooms at places I eat at, and I won't go into it in detail, but it was 'entertaining' to see the pics they had up on the wall in their bathroom. Anyway, a fabulous place - an incredible surprise - and I'm looking forward to our next trip back...
