“I ordered pickup for my first time today and the food did not disappoint. It was seasoned very well, and you receive a nice sized portion with great selections to choose from. My only issue is that on the website there are no calories listed for the menu items. I would love to know how much I’m consuming without having to weigh out each section of the meal myself. Otherwise great pickup service and I will be ordering again.“

Kayleigh’s kind personality made the entire dining experience enjoyable, and her professionalism truly stood out. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about her guests. Kayleigh deserves recognition for her hard work and dedication.

The sparkle of the experience truly came from Tiffany, who felt like a fairy godmother of customer service. With her bright smile, kindness, and cheerful energy, she instantly made the place feel special.

As my pizza was crafted, it felt less like an order and more like a magical creation coming to life. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made, but it was Tiffany’s enchanting attitude that made the experience unforgettable. She turned an ordinary visit into something straight out of a Disney dream.

If you’re looking for more than just great pizza—if you want a little magic with your meal—Blaze Pizza is the place to go, especially when Tiffany is there to make your day shine. ✨🍕“

“Neat health food spot offering smoothies, salads, wraps, sandwiches, & smoothie bowls. Perfect for a post workout meal or light refreshing snack. I tried their Tequesta Dragon bowl with a very delicious dragonfruit base for the smoothie portion & tons of fresh berries on top with granola blended in between. The portions were pretty reasonable and the preparation was quick. In and out service is always the best. The staff was very friendly and had some great recommendations.“

The music is fun and relaxing. Great for any night you don’t feel like cooking! 10 out of 10! Don’t skip the baklava or chocolate mousse!

They have a hot food section where everything is fresh. They gave me a sample of the chicken tenders and potato logs. LET ME TELL YOU!!! Hands down the best I have EVER tasted. This place deserves 10 stars!!!“

“We generally don’t eat at Panera because some of the other locations have been less than impressive in the past. On a whim, we decided to give this location a try and it was the BEST decision my fiancé and I have made recently! This Panera location ROCKS! Every member of the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their job. The food is insanely fresh, hot, and delicious, and they NEVER skimp on portions/ingredients! The menu items actually come out looking like they do in the advertisements - and they are loaded full of flavor. I recommend one of the new toasted baguette sandwiches; in particular, the Buffalo chicken is to die for! In addition to phenomenal food and service, the location is adorable and convenient; the outdoor seating is very cozy and inviting - you feel like you are eating in a garden. This is our new favorite casual dining spot to hit up at the UTC mall. Definitely check it out if you are in the area, you will certainly not regret it!“

“Through the recommendation of friends we went to the Sarasota location and we were surprised and delighted with our server Casey!!!! She suggested some summer cocktails What a delight to have a server who is good at their job and knows how to wait on thank you Casey for an amazing experience“

“We eat here two times a week because we live down the way. Great employees and quick line … Only thing lacking is the salt on their fries - please put more salt on your fries! I’d like to say this one more time for good measure, please put more salt on your fries. See you in a couple days - hopefully having more salt on our fries.“

“One of the best Panera Bread locations I’ve ever visited! The café was extremely clean, well organized, and everything looked very well managed. The employees were professional, friendly, and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.
The food was also excellent, the Chicken Wild Rice Soup and the Fuji Apple salad were both fresh and absolutely delicious.
Great service, great atmosphere, and great food. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Come here quite often and it seems like the crew has changed quite a bit in these past months; it's a Panera bread nothing special but they have definitely changed things up in this specific location quite a bit where things are much better now.“
