- IPIlya PerryNov 3, 20255.0Good customer service by manager. She showed me how to redeem my birthday reward and talked about the Panera rewards card.
- IGIris GSep 14, 20255.0Fast service and really delicious food. Staff were all very kind. Would recommend this place.
- DLDonna LandazuriAug 13, 20254.0We love Panera and think there should be more up Rt. 5. Today’s visit gets a 2 for atmosphere because Manager Victoria berated an employee where we could hear her. The other employees were embarrassed and I felt awful for them. It seemed Victoria had a valid complaint about how something had been washed, but her manner of teaching staff needs to be private and delivered in a way that inspires them instead of shaming.
- CRCaleb RealAug 6, 20255.0Free pickle
- GLgeorge langJun 23, 20255.0I wish they had another one of these in southern Marin. The food is really good good balance meals. The prices are right you can drop in for a bowl of soup or go nuts with handmade sandwiches. There’s lots of desserts very easy to access very quick service.
