    The service was very good. I ordered something wrong on the Tablets and they made a new sandwich and where very understanding and super fast with it. The store was mostly clean and quite empty and the food was as always.

    I use to be such a lover of panera!!! But, this location is horrible!!! Stinks inside and they covered outlets to charge your phone or laptop, so now if your a paying customer, you cannot chill, eat, and be on a device because they covered most of the outlets!! We'll I will not longer be a customer of Panera's, they have gone downhill in a major way!!!

    My experience with this location on 10/04/25: I came here Saturday morning to have a breakfast with my husband. We ordered Avocado toast and Ciabatta egg and avocado sandwich. However, after we picked up our food from kitchen counter and sat to eat, we noticed there was no Avocado on sandwich, so we went back to kitchen counter asking for replacement. They didn't even say "sorry". we picked it up from counter again and looked our new sandwich, guess what .... this time the egg patty was missing... So my husband went to the kitchen counter asking again, the lady put the thin slice of egg into the sandwich and almost threw the plate at my husband without looking or w/o saying "sorry" ... It was the worst experience with restaurants and I regretted that I didn't ask for a manager even the owner that moment. The food quality was really poor, waste of my money... and they treated us really bad like a beggar. We'd never go back there and don't recommend to anyone ... Terrible, terrible ... such a shame for the name ...

    Ordered the French dipper, lemonade, and a cookie. The French dipper was tasteless( The beef was underseasoned and had no flavor, even the bread was bad) The service was inattentive, and they took an extremely long time. I won’t be coming back. My advice- Stay away.
