★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Loni VS · Jul 2025

We were just at this Panera Bread at 6:30 pm on a Friday evening. There was hardly anyone in the restaurant. I ordered the Italian Steak & Mozzarella Sandwich. This was very good. I was first given the wrong soup. When I got the chicken and rice soup, it was barely warm and just was gross . . . Had a weird slimy texture. I also got their new strawberry basil lemonade. With just strawberries and basil floating on top, the lemonade had no unique taste. Overall my nearly $20 meal was quite disappointing.

I had the strawberry banana smoothie and it was awesome! I asl ordered the chicken bacon ranch sub with the ranch on the side but unfortunately a team member forgot the ranch, which is okay because it happens. But my pick up order was made on time along with speedy service

I had a full Cajun Chicken Avocado and it was delicious. Cant say much more? Service was friendly, quick and a fair price for today's price points.

I really like this branch. Service is quick and friendly. Food is fresh and delicious. Appreciation to the staff and chefs there to handle the crowds and to go orders. I will definitely keep coming back. Picture - medi chicken greens and grains.

Can't really comment on service or atmosphere because I ordered through doordash, but I will not be making that mistake again and will never go in to this Panera location just because of the food I received. My asiago bagel tasted like someone just did its hair in Aquanet hairspray. This is a bagel my dude, not a Miss America pageant. I should not be feeling like I'm sitting behind an old lady in church when I try to bite into my bagel.
