    the interior of a restaurant

    We've visited this location a few times on weeknights and Saturday afternoon. I feel the food is consistently prepared well and the orders are accurate. The atmosphere is always clean and organized. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. We're happy to have a Panera in Monroe and look forward to returning many times for the addictive bread bowls!

    Drink station with sticky floor and juice puddle that was left unattended for our entire time, who knows how long before or after.

    Considering that the Trumbull Mall is slowly becoming its own vortex of fights & disorderly conduct, and the Shelton location was more on the unkempt side, the Monroe site is clean & spacious.

One reason it took me so long to try AFFILIATION - I learned that this place is a second location for massiminos in Bridgeport which is a pretty Italian place in its own right ENTRANCE - as you come in you can see the main counter in the back. There are a few tables around if you want to sit and eat/drink coffee. AMBIANCE - it's a very clean and deli looking decor. DRY PRODUCTS - they have a small selection of Italian items from dried pasta to jarred sauces. Typical brands that you see in supermarkets or other Italian stores. There are a few imported from Italy brands but I'm no expert to say yea or nay PIZZA - they have at the counter a pizza station where you can a buy by the slice. They looked pretty good with a lot of variety. COFFEES - they have regular plus they make expresso, macchiatos, lattes etc. I tried the macchiato which was excellent PASTRY- they gave a few at the counter. The breakfast buns and treats. I noticed a crème pastry which I tried. It was OK but in reality the pastry part was super good but the inside crème would have been better if it was like a Boston cream filling SERVICE - definitely 5+ stars. The employees couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Very congenial with small talk. Not the usual cold QSR attitude you get from the fast food chains PRICES - I only got coffee and a pastry that was over $8. I'd say average or a little on the higher side but I didn't look at the menu on the screen too closely although it was a little difficult to see.

    I'm going to be fair here and preface this with the fact that I haven't been back to this place in…read morequite some time. Nothing much has changed... it is still cash or check, which back in 2017 didn't really phase me... but I'm pretty surprised this hasn't changed. I knew the menu prices could never have been what they were nearly 7 years ago but I was surprised even when taking this into account. A chicken parm sandwich plus a peace tea (which really should be somewhere between $0.99 and $1.99) ended up at $18.35. I was totally floored. The $6 sandwich (+ toppings) has nearly tripled in price. $2 per extra topping? I really can't fathom $2 for a little bit of some topping (onions, peppers, whatever). I know things are different but it isn't like I've been under a rock for 7 years. A chicken parm grinder depending on where you go is about $8-$12. I can name 5 delis off the top of my head that can back this up. Let's get to the sandwich itself. It was bad. Way too much breading and soggy. So so soggy. This sandwich had been wrapped up for less than 10 minutes and I nearly pulled out a fork and knife to eat it. I'm so sad. I gave this place 5 stars before. I won't be returning I'm sorry to say. PS: He wasn't the nicest either. I know you don't work for free. But I do have a right to ask about the price.

Whatever you order in store, you pay extra for having your sandwich on one of their choices. For example, my kids ordered a bacon, egg and cheese. An extra $2.50 for a croissant when it's part of their choices. I ordered a large caramel iced coffee, which was tolerable. Again choices on the online menu said caramel, vanilla, hazelnut available. What it should say is $1.00 extra for flavors. The service is very slow. My kids and I waited about 30 mins for 3 sandwiches. A tuna mac was also ordered. The total came to $63. Never again.

For a small bakery, the range of offerings is impressive: everything from French toast and quiche to wraps, bagels, and an array of coffee drinks. I ordered the gluten-free everything bagel with lox and cream cheese. The lox was fresh and flavorful, but the bagel itself was average--I assumed it would be toasted and wish I'd asked. I also missed the usual red onion slices that typically accompany lox and cream cheese. We took an Alexander sandwich to go, hoping that one's a winner. It was yummy, according to the recipient. My daughter ordered a wrap and said it was "a-ok, not remarkable." Her iced coffee was fine, not great. Overall, this bakery feels welcoming and capable. Nothing knocked our socks off, but it's a pleasant spot to sit with a latte and something to eat. I'll definitely stop by again when I'm in town.
