It's a Panera so what you'd expect atmosphere wise. BUT what really sets this apart from other locations is the staff that works here. Had a mishap with a order, and one quick phone call and manager Kia had it resolved quickly. Definitely the best Panera in the Rockford region.
Panora Bread brings to mind soup in a bread bowl and a warm sandwich. I stopped by for a lunch after work and it wasn't as impressive as it used to be. You order on a monitor pad, and are served by your name being yelled. Yet they ask for a tip... I haven't quite figured out a tip when there's no service... When my name was yelled my food was ready, they forgot my drink. The sandwich, a Cibatta Cheesesteak, looks like the meat was lost in the roll. Very little steak...
I read that this location was slow but in my case it was quite fast. Please take into account all food is made to order and fresh. The food was delicious. And the atmosphere was calmed. The facilities are nice, beautiful and clean
