    This place has always been great and today did not disappoint. I went through the drive thru and ordered and was greeted with a good morning, I didn't feel rushed and he repeated everything at the end. Same thing at the window, a good morning, he took his time and handed each item one at a time, and said "thank you Mark". The food was perfect, as well as the coffee. Perfect! Customer service at its best. Nice job Alex!

    My visit at Panera was very pleasant. I obviously have used them for takeout on their mobile app. Their mobile app is very easy to use and you can get your food faster by doing it this way. It's right on route 20 in Sturbridge so it's a highly active area with a lot of traffic going into the restaurant. They have an easy and accessible drive-thru. The parking lot is shared with other buildings so it can be a little difficult finding a convenient spot. The inside stays very clean and the staff is very nice. The food tasted great and fresh, probably one of the best Italian sandwiches I've ever had. It was a little on the oily side on the ciabatta bread other than that though I had a great experience visiting Panera in Sturbridge.

    "My grandma she can make a soup With a little a this 'n that…read moreBut with grandma cookin no need to worry! Just a little a this 'n that" (Pete Seeger) My final review of 2022 will describe the worst customer service we encountered all year. We had an errand to run in Sturbridge and figured we'd include a lunch stop in town. The Yelp app brought us to Soup to Nuts. #1) I love soup and #2) it's located inside the Sturbridge Marketplace, so we figured we'd do some shopping and browsing too. When we approached Soup to Nuts we saw a sign that said they opened at 11:00. The front door had another sign that said they opened at 12:00. Since the door was locked, and it was about 11:30, we figured we'd check out the Sturbridge Flea Market and come back. At 12:02 their front door was unlocked, and the sign announcing the 12:00 opening was gone. As we entered the restaurant, we were "greeted" by four words spoken (or more accurately snarled) in a very gruff and rude manner - "we're not open yet". Tone of voice matters, and I will look you straight in the eye and put my hand on a stack of bibles and tell you his tone was beligerant and angry (to the point of aggressive). It was beyond rude. It was shocking. So we turned around, left and never came back. Happy New Year ya filthy animal.

    This was our second visit to this establishment, I came back specifically for the corn chowder…read morebecause it's so good. I will say that on our first visit we thought the owner was initially a bit gruff as others had mentioned but we quickly realized that's not the case and he is an incredibly gracious host. We've had both the corn chowder and sandwiches here and they are delicious! Keep in mind with some reviews that people are the problem and not the establishment.

    Love stopping in here for a quick lunch while working on campus (GBCC). They offer 6-10 different…read morehomemade soups each day, with gluten free, veggie, and vegan options. You also get a piece of bread with each soup ordered, and they come individually wrapped at the end of the bar for you to choose as you're cashing out. Every single soup I've had from here is amazingly seasoned and SO SO SO tasty. The price is right, the service is always excellent, and they really move people along at this busy locale so you don't have to wait for a long time. Overall, it is a seamlessly quick experience that yields excellent yummy results!

    Came here after a visit to the bank. I always wondered what this place was but it was always…read moreclosed when I passed by it before. I thought they would have a bunch of soups but they only had three soups, chicken noodle soup, spicy and mild beef chili soup, and a vegetable soup. I was hoping they had a corn chowder or tomato bisque soup but they only had the 3 choices. I definitely wasn't feeling the Chili soup so I had to decide between the chicken noodle or vegetable. I went with the safer choice of the chicken noodle soup. The soup was very full of fresh ingredients and tasty. I got the large soup which came with a choice of two pieces of bread or 4 packs of oyster crackers. I went with the crackers and I needed it to add to soup to make me full. I bought the largest soup which was 32 oz and it put me back $15+ which was a lot more expensive then I expected but I think the price point is needed for them to survive as the place wasn't extremely busy even though it was lunch time. Service was good too and guy at the counter explained what they had and didn't have. They also do protein bowls as well which I decided not to do. Overall, the soup was good, price was little high, and I was little disappointed they didn't have what I was hoping for but overall pretty good.
