Panera Bread is a popular fast-casual chain with a huge menu and convenient location. The food is good, and many staff members are friendly and professional, even during busy times. However, some customers have noted that the dining area can be messy and in need of cleaning. While the app is user-friendly and rewards are available, prices can be steep, with a bowl of low-calorie soup costing nearly $10. Some customers have mentioned that the restaurant often runs out of the right sandwich bread, even when there are loaves in the display case. Parking is available for quick pickups. Food quality is decent, with good soups and sandwiches, but some items may be overpriced compared to other restaurants. The buzzer system is not used at this location, opting instead for loud announcements of ready orders. Overall, this location is appreciated for its cleanliness and the fantastic service provided by the team, making it a top choice in the area.
