I’m only writing this because the manager there is phenomenal. I’ve only been a couple times but he is very attentive and always has gone above and beyond to check and make sure my experiences have been good.Today I wanted to try one of the charged lemonades and didn’t realize it was a separate beverage than their regular ones and when the original employee dismissed me the manager brought me one to try and made it right.I’m not a huge Panera fan but this one is well ran and a good spot for a quick lunch.I wish corporate would bring back their Asian salads

Good food, portions are smaller than I'd prefer for the cost and it takes a fatttt min for the food to come out.

I went here for the first time yesterday and went back today. I'm in LOVE I've tried the southwest chicken melt, bacon turkey bravo, Greek salad and some pastries. Everything has been great so far!

I was served the worst sandwich I have ever had in a restaurant. Including the iced tea it cost 20 dollars. The staff were very nice.

I came into the store and no one helped me. I had called in an order and was there for pick up but it was my first time being in there store. I didn't know where to pick up my order or if someone brought you the order. There were 3 different people working and none of them offered to assist me. I stood front and center in the libby for 5 minutes looking around, waiting for any of them. They all knew I was there. I eventually spotted the puck pick up area that was not facing outward but sideways so it wasn't easy to spot. I reluctantly walked over to identify my order, found it and still walked back to the front counter to make there wasn't anything I needed to do. This young woman and this guy still busy with their own conversation finally acknowledged my presence after I attempted a couple of times to politely get their attention. The response I recieved was mediocre and short. I walked feeling awkward. The soup was great, the bread kind of hard and the service disappointing. I'm trying to chalk it up as a one time experience. I'm hopeful if I visit again, it will be a better experience.

Cinnamon crunch bagel alone is worth a trip. Be careful with the charged lemonade ?. It's not mixed well and you get more caffeine than on label. Dilute it with juice or tea for safety. It's CPR level of caffeine and I am a fast processing caffeine-aholic.

Food is great, but man waiting for your order is behind 15 or 20 takeout orders is crazy. They are so busy they need to add people to take care of sanitation in the dining area.

After a long day of being sick I ordered Panera through DoorDash and unfortunately never received it. Now this is not Panera's fault at all! While this seems to be a really upsetting situation the Panera staff took it into their own hands and made this whole situation turn to a good one. The night Crew on Wednesday November 1st truly made my day better! I'm extremely grateful for how accommodating they were. I recommend this Panera shop to anyone in need of comforting food and a kind greeting from the staff!

This is used to be my favorite place. Me and my girl loved Panera! But lately they’ve been lacking on the avocados and when they aren’t the avocados ARE BLACK!!! we are all now sick.
