Panera Bread is a convenient and centrally located restaurant with its own free parking lot. The staff are super friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere is lively with plenty of seating. While the food can be hit or miss, the restaurant is generally fast and fresh. Vegetarian options are customizable, and dietary restrictions can be accommodated. The restaurant offers a rewards program with perks like unlimited free drinks for members.
This Panera Bread location is often visited by students, and it is very conveniently located near the college. The food is always fresh and delicious, with the bread being a standout. Customers particularly enjoy the beef hot sandwich and the ability to customize salad ingredients. The service is quick despite the high volume of orders, and the tuna salad cold sandwich is a good option for those who don't prefer meat.
The restaurant has clean tables and outlets for customers to work, and it was not too busy during a weekend lunch. However, one customer's order did not come out as requested, with the modified sandwich missing the requested lettuce and the wrong side being provided. While the customer would dine in again to check their order, they would hesitate to use the pickup or delivery service from this location.
