"A great place to have a meal. For faster checkout, use the kiosk area to order. Food is great and tastes good. I do want to point out that not all of the associates wear masks or wear them correctly. You do want to pay attention to that, especially as now positive cases have risen in Newton. My Recommendations: Soups: Broccoli Cheddar, French Onion, Chicken Noodle Salad: Green Goddess (the pickled onions and avocado are a nice add to the mix as it just has a refreshing taste) Drinks: Iced Chai, really any smoothie but I go for mango, Passion Papaya Green Tea Bakery: Bear Claws (goes nice with a mug of warm milk), Lemon Drop Cookie, Brownie, Chocolate Croissant (goes nice with a mug of warm milk), etc. A few things have changed in the menu though which I am not happy about. The broccoli cheddar mac and cheese is okay, but I miss when they used to have tortellini pasta available like they did in the past. Lobster Roll Sandwich is priced fine and it does taste good, but for any lobster dishes at a Panera, you should always be on the lookout for shell pieces as they get their lobster meat from somewhere else."
