I've never been here before and I just came from a wack coffee shop across the street, so I gave this place a try. It was slow and nobody other than couple of customers were there.
I ordered their "sesame chicken salad" and half of their "B.L.T. chicken sandwich"
I have to mention that neither was that good because the "chicken" meat that was on both the salad and sandwich were too cold. Nothing was special.

They literally let white people cut in front of Black people, and ignore black customers.
They simply have prejudice going on at this location. There was five people behind the counter, Literally ignoring the customers, and not letting them pick up their order. The most entitled and evil spirited Panera workers you’ll ever find, it’s like they hate being alive. It’s disgusting how they treat people at this location. My friends and family have reported this location, and none of us will be back. Disgusting, ignorant, and prejudice behavior.

Panera Bread offers fresh sandwiches, salads, and baked goods with excellent customer service. Staff are friendly and attentive, making sure you get exactly what you want. The dining area is clean, bright, and comfortable for both eating in and working. I love their seasonal menu items and healthy options. Panera is consistent, convenient, and a top choice for casual dining.
