Dubai chocolate cookie
Michelle C.

Ordered the new Dubai chocolate cookie. Not how it was pictured at all. So much smaller in size for $3.19. Also hard as a rock and super dry. Definitely was over baked. Wasn't edible. Not worth it!

The bagels thrown in a bag, flavor's are all mixed up.

What in the homeless camp is this delivery of bagels? I ordered a dozen and a half bagels for an event in the morning. This included plain, blueberry, cinnamon crunch that they apparently were out of, everything and asiago. Somehow I got substituted flat multigrain bagels (which we're conveniently on the very bottom where you couldn't see them), which are not even really a bagel. What on earth. They threw every bagel at the bottom of a giant bag, no box/bag, no separation between flavors. So having a blueberry bagel sitting on top of an everything bagel makes sense right. Gross. This is the first and last time I will ever order from Panera. Why not package something better? Is a box really that much of a problem? You can't serve anything to anyone out of a brown paper bag of mixed flavors. Watch out, they are sneaky and will tape your bag shut, so you don't notice right away your food is just thrown into the bag. Also I just realized, I asked for the cinnamon crunch bagels to not be substituted with a cinnamon raisin, they put one in anyway. I didn't notice until it was cut open this morning because it looks a lot like the blueberry bagel. I mean, what if someone was allergic to that bagel? Also the people eating these bagels didn't want raisins.

Wrong bread and 1/4 sandwich, not half

Update (Wednesday 08/20: Panera Bread Customer Care addressed my dinner order issue I reported via the app. They were quick to respond the next day, and I appreciate their concern. I'm happy with the solution and still recommend them. Sunday 08/17 I've never had a problem with Panera, until now. This is my first complaint with them. I live close by, and went for a pick up. I ordered the same picked two order, I've had many times. The sandwich had the wrong bread, and it was half of a half sandwich. Both the steak and the soup were cold, and I was there 4 minutes before it was done. Plus the soup tasted funny. The pictures show how ridiculous and incorrect this sandwich was made. I paid $14.35 which included tip. Completely not worth what I paid for. This Panera location was really a disappointment.

You pick two

I loved coming here because the seating options were so comfortable. We found the best seat outside under some pretty trees on top of the deck. There was so much table space that we were able to set out all of our materials and sketch in our sketchbooks. The food came out quickly and it was the perfect pairing. I ordered the chili which was delicious and half of a chipotle chicken avocado sandwich. The avocado was perfectly tender and smooth. They gave me an extra side of chipotle sauce which elevated the taste. I also ordered a pomegranate, hibiscus tea and it was the perfect sugar free option.

Nice Panera location in a cute shopping mall (The Avenue Viera) in Melbourne. There's a lot of nice outdoor seating where we were able to enjoy my Bear Claw....I love Panera's Bear Claw. Always moist and sweet...with the right amount of glaze on top. I ordered inside, not using the app, so I made sure I gave my phone number to the lady to get my reward points. This location is convenient to many other stores, great for strolling before or after.

I can't get enough of their sourdough bread. Pick a loaf up whenever I am near one. Big loaf for $10.

Always a good experience. The main issue is that they are always so busy that they run out of what we want.

16 people in line and only one person on the register. Floors are dirty and no one seems to be cleaning. Come in panera. You can do better.

The Soup Shop

The Soup Shop

The Soup Shop was very clean with art on the walls. The menu is pretty varied and the offer more…read morethan just soup. You can bike your own salad or have a little sammie to go with your soup. My favorite part is you can do flights. I ordered three soup and two slider flight. Soups: tomato basil and lobster bisque. Both were good alone but they mixed well too. The bisque was one of the better ones I've had. I could actually taste the basil in the tomato basil. Sliders: chicken salad and pimento cheese. Both were good, but alone without soup they're just ok. The best part of the sliders is they come on Hawaiian rolls. I would definitely go again since I love soup.

**INITIAL REVIEW** I…read morelike to consider myself, at times, a connoisieur of soups. I love them all, and I don't even mean just the ones most people know of, but ones that are often passed over simply because they are not known. Good example: the savory cold soups that are meant to be cold, not just a hot soup you serve cold because you're lazy to wait a minute for it to warm up in a microwave. I will even go as far as to say that I love chili with beans... and without. Doesn't matter. It is a chucky soup. I like creamy soup. I like chunky soup. I like chunky and creamy soup. I like soup... and kudos to anyone who got the classic Eddie Murphy stand-up comedy joke right there. Anyways, The Soup Shop in, what I will call the part of Melbourne between Suntree and Melbourne Major (where Historic Downtown Melbourne) is located, right near the Eastern Florida State College Melbourne campus, is the original location (that I know of). I have been a couple of times, and every single time, it has been great. As a matter of fact, the Soup Shop answers that question I've asked which is, "What if there was a restauant that served an array of soups I can choose from?" Questioned answered and with flying colors, too. Pertaining to its ambiance, the Soup Shop doesn't exactly stand out compared to some of the decor these new restaurants seem to push as part of their experience. Instead, their decor is simplistic, but they so happen to really promote and push one particular artist as her paintings are all over the walls of the restaurant. As for the soup, I decided to get the flight, which is a sample (flight) size of three soups of your choice. Certain soups do have a specialty upcharge, specifically the bisques, and some can't be made in such because of how they are prepared, specifically the ramen. Despite that, there are a wide array of soup choices to choose from. You now, chunky soup, creamy soup, chunky and creamy soup. And to be serious for a moment, they also have soups that cater to special dietary needs. I saw a whole cooler full of ready-to-warm-up soups for bariatrics. As for the prices, they are not bad all. I think the soup flight was about $12, which is not bad at all for three soups a little bigger than a cup but smaller than a bowl. They also serve other food items such as sandwiches and desserts. My suggestion: the grilled cheese. Definitely pair it with the tomato soup. Ultimately, I am going to give the OG Soup Shop four out of five stars. They were outstanding the two times I went, but I need to try more of their food to see if they are consistent... because most people know that my fifth star is awarded after reviews (unless I've been to a business more than let's say five times) and they are consistent. I truly think The OG Soup Shop will be consistent, but you never know.

Soup Shop - West Melbourne - Chicken buffalo sandwich

Soup Shop - West Melbourne

**INITIAL REVIEW **…read more The Soup Shop located in central Melbourne, which I will say is the area between Eau Gallie and Suntree, is one of my all-time favorite restaurants in the mid-Melbourne area, the area between Eau Gallie and Suntree. I mean, it is a restaurant that sells soup, and I mean more than one soup or even more than the common numbers of two to five soups. Think twenty soups or more. Ergo, when I found out that another Soup Shop location would open in West Melbourne, FL, I was excited. Not only would one of my favorite restaurants have another location available, but this one so happens to be closer to me. The question is if this new location would be as good as the OG. Despite not being a 1-to-1 of excellence to the OG, this new location is still excellent. Though an address is provided, the new Soup Shop location is located in the Palm Crossing Shopping Center a.k.a. Publix Shopping Plaza West Melbourne on Palm Bay Rd. (because to be fair, all the best shopping plazas in Florida happen to be Publix shopping plazas). If it helps, the new Apocalypse Coffee Roasters location is also in the same plaza. Upon entering the locale, it is like walking into a cozy nook you'd like to sit in and enjoy a book. Multiple two-person seating is available up front with one on the eastside. I usually sit on the eastside table as it is closest to the fountain dispenser, as all fountan drinks have free refills. As for service, the ladies working there are great, especially the team lead/manager who works on weekdays. I definitely like how she initiates conversation by asking about the t-shirt you are wearing. I was wearing my "EXPLORE" shirt and she asked me what it is I am exploring. Usually, it would be geocaches and/or letterboxes, but at the time, soup flavors! Which brings me to the six flavors of soup I had via the flight. Yes. The Soup Shop serves flights (and that is all the locations from what I know, too). I had the Dragon Stew, chili, chicken gumbo, tomato soup, creamy garlic tomato soup, and she crab bisque. Details of the soups are in the pics, but definitely loved the tomato soups especially with their fantastic grilled cheese sandwich they have on their menu. And on a sidenote: the restroom was unisex and clean. Definitely no drips on the floor or anything like that. Ultimately, I am going to give this Soup Shop - West Melbourne, four out of five stars. All and all, they are excellent, but we'll have to see if they are consistent. If they are consistently excellent, not perfect, just excellent, they'll get their fifth star for consistency.

The PB&J with crunchy PB hit so good. Wife loved her soups. We both loved the sourdough. Shop is…read moreclean and cozy. Staff was welcoming and friendly. We'll be back for sure.
