I had ordered thru the app and it said it was ready. I asked the staff and I waited another 5 minutes.

This Panera location is kind of small. It shares a building with a dental office in the far corner of the parking lot of the mall. It's been clean when I've visited, but can get crowded at lunchtime, due to the limited size. There are some tables outside, but due to the proximity to the freeway on ramp, it's loud out there. In general, I've been pleased with this location and often use the Panera app to order and pickup in the drive thru.
