Every time I go into this location the staff is always rude and unfriendly. They also don’t honor promotions or rewards.
Went in today to get a bagel that’s part of their free bagel in December. I was waiting at least 10 mins before someone even acknowledged or took my order. When I finally was acknowledged the girl was rude and snippy. I won’t be coming back to this location again due to poor service.

Panera Bread promotes "more of everything," but one customer's experience showed less cinnamon topping on a cinnamon crunch bagel and a reduced amount of icing on a cinnamon bun. However, the same customer appreciated the cleanliness of the restroom and the friendliness of the staff. Another customer had a positive experience with the staff's politeness. Yet, another customer finds the food fresh but not special, and the prices high. Some customers mentioned experiencing rude service, which they find unacceptable for a place serving soup and sandwiches. The restaurant shares a building with Tacos el Norte, and it features typical Panera menu items, including sandwiches, soups, egg dishes, and pastries. Many visitors praise the fast, attentive, and friendly staff, noting that food is always ready quickly, hot, and fresh. The seating is well placed, and online ordering along with kiosks make it easy to order, with some customers enjoying free items through the club membership. The location is considered picturesque, with outdoor dining available when open, although it was blocked off at the time of some visits. Overall, customers appreciate the tasty, healthy options and the pleasant atmosphere, emphasizing good service and cleanliness.
