Its kindof creepy inside, this is one of those restaurants where staff hides when someone comes in the door, so that you use the tablets instead of walking up to the register. I ordered a coffee and the coffee decanters were cold, and the staff kindly brewed me a new batch.
The coffee bar was populated with a small swarm of flies, and the creamer smelled of chlorine sanitizer. I work in food service and know it is a common error for employees to not leave sanitized dishes to dry leading to leaching from chlorine residue which I believe occurred here. Overall it feels like management is absent, or at the very least absent-minded.

I arrive for breakfast, it says it's open and it's closed. What a disappointment!

I ordered my food online, I got a soup instead of what I payed for. I came back in the rain
I waited at the register for 8 minutes while the very old white male held a conversation with the mixed race cashier, the person I needed to help me of course.
I thought it was funny that they had a hiring sign up.
They should fire everyone and start over.

Over priced for what you get and it's just sub par.

Love all the glass
Great views of the bus lanes and shelter
Manager is always friendly, takes time to say hi
Parking: It is usually busy but always seems to be an open parking spot or two
Wheelchair accessibility: Rest room handicapped toilet area is usually clean.Some inconsiderate customers leave toilet paper on the floor and can't seem to manage to get their used paper towels in the garbage can.

Blueberry Muffin: Panera is not exactly a go to dessert spot for me. In fact, I only really go when they send me coupons for free bakery items, which brings us to this muffin review. I can’t say I’m the biggest muffin connoisseur (they're like a boring cupcake!), but from time to time I get a craving. Now, those of you that follow me closely and actually read my reviews know that I’m not a fan of fruit being mixed with dessert (other than some rare banana and blueberry treats), so it may come as a surprise to you that I rather enjoyed this muffin. With desserts I prefer artificial blueberries, but even though I believe these were not, I still enjoyed it. The numerous blueberries didn’t ruin the pleasantly moist texture of the muffin in any way. The exterior of the muffin was dryer than I prefer, but as I previously mentioned, the interior was soft and moist. My biggest complaint is that Panera uses a streusel topping and personally I find that sugar crystals work better.
Not the best blueberry muffin I've had, but it is one of the best dessert items I've gotten from Panera. Doughboy approved
My top dessert items from Panera:
1. Chocolate Croissant
2. Blueberry Muffin
3. Cinnamon Crunch

I asked if there was orange juice in the bag, they said yes, I felt it and asked if she was sure, she laughed and said yes. Had to make her open the bag and admit there was no orange juice inside to finally give it to me. Weird experience.

I ordered a hot sandwich it was not even warm. Ice cold and did not taste fresh. I returned it and opted to get chicken wild rice soup. I did not get a single piece of chicken.
