    Place was humming; fairly busy but order was fairly quick. Good mac ,'n cheese. A bit $ high for a small cup. Very clean facility, very courteous & friendly staff. 😋

    Had a cup of coffee with a friend. We didn't eat but atmosphere was pleasant. It wasn't very busy. The service could have been more attentive.

    I had the Autumn Squash Soup and Harvest Medley Chicken Salad. It was so filling and the soup is perfect for the season. I would highly recommend this combo.

    Worst Panera location I’ve been to. No drive thru so I had to go in. Tried the vanilla latte and it was so light, just cream and sugar, no coffee. Tried to get it fixed and that didn’t go well. Communication was weird in this building. Left with no drink and just had my sandwich. The sandwich was made nicely, wrapped well, made with care- but the meat didn't look like it was kept well. Bathrooms were very filthy. 10-5-2025
