Excellent eatery! The sandwiches and soups are delicious! Especially the breads and desserts are wonderful! A special shout out to the Baker, Terrell! He should compete on the Food Network! Thank you Sir! Appreciated the Counter Server, Anesah. Friendly and thorough service! This is a regular stop for us! Try it out!

This is probably the best Panera experience I've ever had. Portion sizes were good and good came quickly. Someone walked around with samples of dessert (sticky bun) and another person walked around picking up trash off at your table.

Always a pleasure.. everyone enjoys fresh cooked bread and yummy pastries. I would like to see more things with cranberry in it however, the cranberry orange loaf is very delicious. The staff are always pleasant. It’s just such a cozy place. Nice ambience.

Stood at the counter for 2 minutes to place my order. No one helped me. One employee walked right by me, not making eye contact or asking if I need help. Placed my order at the kiosk. My order came pretty quickly, but I don't like to be ignored. Restaurant was not busy.

I wanted to share my experience because when someone chooses to eat at PANERA it is because of quality control, the fresh ingredients and customer service.. MOST importantly the process of your being prepared, fixed, and the checked for accuracy before being given to you. I ordered a turkey and cheddar whole sandwich on tomato basil bread with the meat and cheese hot, but the tomatoes and red onions on the side… I am not sure if someone was not able to read or just carelessly made me a half sandwich and made it totally wrong.. but yes I was given a half of sandwich and paid for a WHOLE SANDWICH.. there was a team manager there that also displayed a face of total chaos and no order with a lot of college kids not have a clue of what they were making. So yeah… TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
