    Went there today , got 2 bread bowls and a half grilled cheese and tomato soup. Got home to find they had forgotten the tomato soup… called in and they were super nice, since it wasn’t too far I drove back and not only did they give us a bowl of tomato soup instead of a cup as originally ordered, they refunded the money as well !!! Outstanding service, and super friendly staff !!! This is the type of service that creates repeat customers! Oh and their broccoli and cheddar bread bowl is amazing too!!!

    Ordered food to be picked up at 5:30. I got here at 5:40 and the food wasn’t even started. Took another 10-15 minutes to get. Poorly run establishment.

    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!
