Panera Plainview — Best in Class

April 2, 2024

We ventured out to the only Panera on Long Island that has a drive thru. Unfortunately, we did not use the drive thru, we only ate in the restaurant. Most of the Panera’s we have tried are in strip malls which lack any character at all. This Panera was a stand alone building with outdoor […]
