★★★☆☆ 3.0 Sarafina C · Nov 2025

Ordering online was simple and convenient, and my food was ready quickly, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the positives stopped there. The food itself was made sloppily, and the fruit cup was far from top‑notch. They were also out of sweet tea, and with the line nearly out the door and the place packed, I couldn’t get anyone’s attention to ask about it. The atmosphere was loud and chaotic, which made the whole experience less enjoyable. Overall, fast service but disappointing quality and environment.

Unfortunately, after taking a biteof my sandwich, I found hair in the bagel….. like it was baked inside of the dough….

I come here pretty frequently and either get mobile pick up or order in store. Every time I’ve gotten food from here it’s been quick, correct and yummy. Whenever I order any of the sandwiches, they make it exactly like I ask for. The employees who work here are also quite nice! Never had any issues here, 10/10!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Bridgette Mady · Jan 2026

I absolutely love this Panera! No matter how busy or slow it is, the staff is consistently kind and welcoming. The manager, in particular, always has a smile on their face and is ready to help with anything. Whether I’m stopping in for a full meal or just a quick coffee, I always leave in a better mood. There are plenty of Paneras in the area, but this one is hands-down the best!

I ordered Cheddar Broccoli soup and received Cream of chicken wild rice soup. The problem is when I called to inform them they gave me the wrong soup they picked the phone up then hung up on me. I will definitely be there tomorrow to speak to the store manager.
