Panera Bread Reviews
Thank you Panera, my dinner was: free Pick 2 meal and a free large drink. 😋 <3 👍
Worst Panera in the history of all Paneras. Do not waste your money or time, this location is completely unable to correctly fulfill the simplest of orders. Really, how hard is a cup of soup? Wrong soup in the carry out order EVERY TIME..but that's the last time. We won't be back. Minus 100 stars if I could.

Panera Bread offers a safe, friendly environment with exceptional customer service. The staff, including the manager and cashier, go above and beyond to ensure a positive experience. The food, ranging from soups to sandwiches, is delicious. This location is in a convenient spot with free parking and outdoor seating. Inside, there is room for around 100 people, with a mix of comfortable and less comfortable chairs. The restaurant is often a neighborhood gathering place, especially for those without a community space nearby. It tends to attract some unhoused people, serving as an unofficial warming center during colder times, which has helped many. The restaurant is generally clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful, even when busy or short-staffed. It is a popular spot for school dismissals, so quiet times might be better to visit. Overall, despite some outdated decor and a cafeteria-like feel, Panera Bread remains a reliable choice for a quick, satisfying meal in a welcoming environment.
