"I've been going to Panera regularly for years."
"From after-school trips with my mom to catching up with old friends while back home from college, Panera is a staple I always come back to."
"My go-to order as a kid was the black bean soup, so I was devastated when it was removed from the menu."
"This fall, Panera brought it back, which got me thinking that the same could happen for more of my old favorites...fingers crossed!"
I have visited Panera regularly for years, from after-school trips with my mom to catching up with friends while home from college. Panera functions as a reliable staple I return to. My childhood go-to was black bean soup, and its removal caused disappointment. The reintroduction of black bean soup this fall revived fond memories and optimism. The return prompts hope that other former favorite menu items might also come back. The experience mixes nostalgia for past routines with anticipation about future menu changes and renewed comfort in familiar offerings.
