Panera Bread Reviews
Could I give less than one star? Avoid this place at all costs if you value your time. They have always been very slow, but the final straw was waiting *40* minutes for "Rapid" pick up. People scheduled to pick up after me got their food first, though it was pretty random - walk-in orders we laughably slow as well. I finally just walked out. I will never return, possibly to any Panera.
This location constantly fails to get their Rapid Pick Up orders correct. Normal walk-in service is acceptable, but Online Ordering/Rapid Pick Up is a mess - quality control is poor. Shame on me for giving them the benefit of the doubt several times. Just walk in and enjoy lunch there - you'll get what you actually ordered.

Panera Bread Cafe offers a cheerful experience with friendly and professional staff, high-quality foods and drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant's thoughtful design and cozy setting make it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal or treat. The new cinnamon roll recipe pairs well with coffee, and orders are made with care, even if there are small issues. Customers appreciate the convenience of ordering through the mobile app or kiosks, as well as the quick, helpful, and friendly service. The location is situated among other major shopping centers and has plenty of free parking. While the dining area could feel a bit uninviting at times, it remains a comfortable place to meet up or have a quick bite. The outdoor seating area, covered and equipped with a fireplace for winter, adds to the appeal. Customers often choose to enjoy a soup, sandwich, or coffee with a pastry on the go, and many note that it’s a quiet place to work or relax. Staff members like Edwin, Judi, and Roberto are praised for their attentiveness and friendly service. Overall, despite some suggestions for improvements in ambiance and lighting, the food and service at this Panera Bread location continue to meet expectations.
