No comment on service because there was zero human contact. You order through a kiosk, then someone just yells your number & you go and grab your food from the counter. A worker came out and looked at us and then quickly ran back. lmao Place was nice. Food was good. I have no complaints.

The workers were really nice, even offered me a complementary pastry sample. But the Americano I ordered tasted like warm urine. I spat it out my car window and dumped it in the parking lot. Panera needs to get their act together.

In all honesty, this location is slow service. Also, I asked for extra dressing for my whole salad and they only give me one per usual. I’m pretty sure they give 2 dressings for a whole and 1 for half. It happens almost every time I go. My salad is dry😒 How does 1 small cup of dressing cover a whole salad?

This is the worst place to eat.. the people are extremely hateful and rude. You can't even buy tomatoes or lettuce for your sandwiches. When you do get your order is usually not what you ordered and have to take it back.. this place is ridiculous. Worst place I've ever ate ...

I’ve been here a couple times and there’s new staff every single time. I understand that everyone needs to learn and it’ll take them time, I have no issues with this. I had just been here a week before this visit and had a gift card that had roughly $25 remaining, and the cashier did not know how to check or use the balance. I asked if there was someone who could assist and she just said they left for the day. It wasn’t a big deal, I paid and carried on. For whatever reason, my food took over 30 minutes to be ready. I sat there and watched about 5-6 people who just walked in, ordered, sat next to me and got their food.. I mean, my order wasn’t difficult or anything. Pretty disappointed overall. Once I received the food, it was fine, nothing out of the ordinary.
