We were early for a hair appointment so we went for a coffee and snack 😋. I got some orange 🍊 😋 scones and they were delicious, I wish I didn't get so many but they were delicious 😋. I should have thought to freeze them but sometimes I don't remember to. The coffee was yummy 😋 😍 I will certainly stop there again.

Good service! The young woman who took my order was very friendly and helpful. The bear claw I ordered tasted processed but okay. Every bite, the frosting and almonds fell off. Coffee ☕ tasted okay. Update: June 2025; Ordered online. The Smokehouse BBQ Chicken 🐔 Sandwich 🥪, Bistro, Onion 🧅 Soup 🍲 and Chocolate Chipper Cookie were good 👍. The inside has plenty of seating. Comfortable armchairs. Fireplace and WiFi available. Enroll in the rewards program. It can lead to free 🆓 food. I liked this Panera Bread. If you like Panera, then it's worth a visit.

Not sure what happened to this location. I went here on and off when I first moved to NH a few years ago and they were great. Now? The place is filled with messy tables, bathroom is extremely dirty with toilet paper all over the floors. Food is okay-Hit or miss depending on the day. It makes me question the quality of the food when they can’t manage the atmosphere and cleaniness of the restaurant. Sad to see because I really liked coming here.

I’m not a fan of the new kiosk-heavy process—but honestly, that part can be overcome. What can’t be ignored is the attitude shift. When I asked for a real mug instead of a disposable cup, I got a sideways look from food prep staff like I’d asked for something unreasonable. That’s a shame, because this place used to be packed at 9am. Now it’s noticeably quieter—and it’s not hard to see why. Most of those former regulars are probably over at Pressed Café, where customer service still seems to matter. Credit where it’s due: the avocado toast is solid. I’ll give that 4 stars. But service matters. Culture matters. VC ownership may have optimized the process, but it clearly drained the soul. Do better, Panera.

Double check your orders, picked food up for my house. Get home and get ready to eat, only to find my sandwich was poorly made. I ordered a chicken blt avocado sandwich. I had 2 leafs of lettuce. No bacon and no Avocado. I’m 40 minutes away from this store they tell me to go back to have it remade. This should not have happened to begin with. The receipt is signed that it was checked, clearly it wasn’t.
