This meal was disappointing at best and inedible at worst. The rice in the Baja Bowl was undercooked to the point that it was inedible. I tried. But it was hard and awful. It was also cold. This is supposed to be a "warm" bowl. The "Green Goddess" dressing was extremely spicy. I have never in my life had a spicy Green Goddess dressing, but it could have been pushed ask . We paid extra for added hummus, and there was about 2Tbs (what my (adult) son & I would consider ~$.60 worth).
My son ordered a large size Mac & Cheese and although edibleiy was a very small portion. He thought it was going to come in a bread bowl, as pictured, but even if that expectation was unrealistic, the portion was barely enough to be a meal.
My son loves chocolate chip cookies and ordered 2 Chocolate Chipper Cookie. They were the one of the only good things about this meal because the Candy Cookie was just OK.
The Mango Smoothie and French Baguettes were also good.
We are NEVER going to order from Panera again. It was a complete waste of money.

This meal was "meh" at best and inedible at worst. My adult son ordered a large mac & cheese. It was mot anything near whT either of us wiuod consider "large," but otherwise it was OK. I ordered the Baja Bowl which was terrible b/c the rice was hard (way undercooked) and thus inedible. As rice makes up the better portionof this meal , I was left hungry. Luckily we had ordered baguettes so I was able to eat them with some cheese I had in the fridge. The mango smoothie was good and tbe cholate chip cookie was fine, but the candy cookie was underwhelming. I've had good experiences dinong in at Panera, but this, and one previous, experience causes me to not recommend getting takeout from them.

The bagels were almost hard. I know it was the end of the day, but there are ways to keep bagels soft. Almost-hard bagels should not be sold. The flavored cream cheese was good.
