The Italian sandwich was good and fresh.
I didn't really care for the chips but the sandwich was amazing

This is a great panera. It is pretty easy to find parking and also it isn’t very busy so you have the luxury of sitting wherever you want, the food quality is very good and the food is very good also.

The manager is rude and belligerent. Started yelling at the customers that he was closing the store and paced the floor like maniac at 8:59pm. Slammed the doors at his quiet customers. We are all looking at each other like what’s wrong with him. I’ll just assume he’s off his meds.

The place was not very clean and the basil in my strawberry basil lemonade fresca was dead.

This was my first and last visit at a Panera location. I ordered a smokehouse chicken sandwich and placed my order at the kiosk.
When I first entered I heard an unenthusiastic "welcome in" from a team member, but it was still nice to be acknowledged.
After I ordered, I asked a lady, that may have been a manager, where do I get my drink cup since I ordered at the kiosk. She pointed to the other side of the restaurant and said "down there" She gave me a look like I was some kind of idiot and made feel like one. I still didn't know where she was talking about until I was called to get my food.
The sandwich was extremely bland and the chicken, at first bite, was lukewarm. When I got to the middle, it was ice cold, like straight from the refrigerator cold. It was a Sunday around 1, so I thought it would be busy, but it was dead and now I see why. The restaurant was very nice and clean. I'll give them that.

If you want to increase sales and do good business, you have to make people feel welcomed, not make them feel like an unwelcome idiot. Guests don't go to places just for that place, they mostly go for the people that they build a connection with, people they enjoy seeing, people that make them feel welcomed and appreciated for coming there. That was definitely not the case at Panera

They have a very yummy menu. It seems there is something for every taste. I personally love their Tomato Soup.

One of the few locations left open. Outside looks a bit outdated. But hey, I’m here for the food. Ordered a bacon chicken ranch sandwich and a salad. Salad was solid, lots of ingredients, and the dressing was on point. Sandwich? Tasted good but skimped on the chicken. Too much bread. Didn’t look like the picture. Step it up, Panera!

Mediocre Panera, I find it expensive for the quality and amount of food they give you.

People are so nice here! Especially David, who offered to help us multiple times. The food was good, but the service was definitely a reason to go back to this Panera!

Andrew is fantastic! He greeted us and helped accomodate my indecisiveness to order. I enjoyed a Baguette chicken cordon bleu melt with gorgonzola.Great place to get a quick healthy bite.Very clean establishment with excellent customer service!

Pros:Enjoy using the Sip Club rewards, although now that they moved the charged lemonades behind the counter, it's a bit more of a hassleFood is decent for the most part, though overpriced. Value Duets are usually the way to go, at least for me.Ambience is good, quiet enough to come work, music isn't blaring like at most SbuxCons:Wifi is horribly spotty here, making this a very unreliable place to come work. So many times I've come to work and it's taken over an hour to get online. I'll started coming here to grab my drink, then take it to the Sbux down the street to work.Bakery items are super overpriced and the stuff behind the glass is definitely sus. I've walked by a couple times and seen ants & flies around the food.
