We walked in to no line at all and were immediately acknowledged by the cashier behind the counter, which set a great first impression. We weren’t entirely sure what we wanted, so it took us a moment to decide, but she was patient and ready when we were. We both ordered Pick 2 combos: one with a toasted Frontega Chicken sandwich paired with mac & cheese, and the other a Chicken Bacon Rancher with Bacon Mac & Cheese. The food came out quickly, and while the cook initially forgot to put the second mac and cheese back on the tray, it was noticed and corrected right away without any hassle. The food itself was genuinely delicious. We ended up sharing the sandwiches, and both were excellent, well-seasoned, nicely toasted, and satisfying in flavor. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting,

I went here to catch up with friends and it was a very chill atmosphere. Easy to have a conversation. The food was good and I may be bias because I usually get the same thing but the Mediterranean greens with grains salad is so good. No need to switch it up here when this salad exists Ijs. Regardless good service, good food, and good atmosphere. I would recommend if you just want grab lunch or catch up with friends or read a book while you dine. This is that type of dining experience.

Went to pick up an order for someone the young man behind the pickup area was awesome but the lady running the register was very rude. Yelling from the other side of the store Telling me I know he told you to wait on the coffee it wasn’t ready yet, all I asked if this was so and so’s order after she set the bag in the counter, she said again I know he just told you it wasn’t ready yet you were waiting on coffee. I’ve never personally eaten here I do not know what your coffee tote looks like especially when you put a big bag on the counter sealed up I thought it was in the bag like most places do. She continued to mumble to herself until another lady brought out the coffee I see from the reviews there are several complaints from this store about similar stories. I am the easiest going

I love the energy of Panera Bread. The employees and Managers. The vibe there is Amazing. The food is beyond delicious. If you are looking for a positive vining place for breakfast, lunch, dinneror coffee. Try Panera Bread. You will not be disappointed. Truly an Amazing restaurant. You will be glad you did.

They are letting homeless men sleep on the tables in the back, so people can't sit at that part of the restaurant. For anyone who virtue signals how much they assume this isn't a problem, know these men are taking up seats from paying customers, and blocking most of the room. If you don't see that as a problem, think about it from the perspective of every customer lost because of this, Panera is that much closer to having to lay off one employee. The restaurant is for employees and paying customers, not the homeless. The homeless men sleeping in the restaurant can work at Panera if they need somewhere to stay. The employees of Panera do it, so they can too.
