    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.

    Let's start off this by saying the staff is amazing!! They are so friendly and willing to help you…read morewith your needs. The food is out of this world. Best pizza in town and their Italian pastries are to die for!

    Tried this deli for the first time…read more PARKING - while on a busy Main Street they have some parking spots available so you should be in good shape OUTSIDE - they have these tinted windows so from the outside you can't see the inside. 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.

    The cheese pizza is delicious. One of the best I've had.

    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.

    I ordered from a small menu on the counter for 2 Porketa sandwiches with "Gravy". The owner asked…read moreif I wanted cheese and I said no. I was going next door and advised him I'd be back in about 10 minutes. He was ok with that. I picked up the sandwiches and paid "cash" for the sandwiches and went home to eat them. To my surprise there was "NO" gravy on them. I called to express my disappointment and he yelled at me and said, "I Asked you if you wanted cheese; which I had said no to. He yelled if I put anymore gravy in it probably would be I'm assuming to messy. I advised him there was NO gravy and the pork was so dry you could choke on it. If he was a fair business man he should have offered for me to come back and add gravy, instead he was yelling defensively. That set me off. I will include a photo for all to judge what you think and where the "Gravy" was!! I've lived in this town 49 years and have been there 3 times. Very defensive! I will NEVER go there again! What ever happened to common courtesy?....

    DELICIOUS .... a HIDDEN gem!…read more Walking in, this place is very warm and inviting. Walls are filled with local art for sale, and lots of plants! Came here after stumbling on this place searching "vegan coffee shop", wow did they deliver! The staff is super friendly, and had great recommendations! There had to be at least 5 vegan options, options that were not just tofu! For those not vegan, like myself, plenty of yummy options with a flare. Get two of the vegan peanut butter brownie, it's well worth it! Found pricing to be fair, look forward to trying the coffee next time.

    The inside feels cozy and there's plenty of seating- we chose the corner booth. The service is…read moregreat; the employees were very accommodating, helpful, and friendly. We received our food and drinks quickly. We ordered two iced strawberry matcha lattes. Unfortunately, they were pretty terrible and borderline undrinkable. I don't doubt that their coffee is good, but this was disappointing. The color was not great, it had no actual matcha flavor, and not nearly sweetened enough (even with the strawberry syrup). It pretty much tasted like chalky water with strawberry seeds. I ordered the turkey bacon, egg, Gouda cheese with spinach on a multigrain roll. I enjoyed it, and both the turkey and eggs were cooked well. I feel like there wasn't enough cheese, but maybe that's just me. However, the sandwich was kind of dry and I had to ask for ketchup so I could just have some moisture. My partner ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich. The chicken didn't have much flavor, but the sauce was good.
