Not one of the better Panera locations. Smallish inside, limited outside seating on the side of parking…dirty, not well kept, no service really, loud inside, tacos jumbled on top on each other. All in all not a good experience!

The service is 👎🏼. Did you know the broccoli cheddar soup has fake cheese? Or the salads all are saturated in soybean oil? Check out the ingredients I was disgusted. The people are rude as well. The coffee needs to be better quality for a bakery place. The portions are tiny ! Btw.
