Walked in-0 reaction, employees just stand and talk among themselves, my take out order was ready but not even on the screen or on the shelf for pick up, took 5 minutes for one of them to finally inquire what I am there for and give me my order, that was hidden and ready long time ago

The manager at this Panera is ON. I have been to many Panera’a and this is the most motivated hands on manager I have ever seen. Have seen him take over all facets of the business, front counter, chef, line, tables. This place is clean, calm and quick food. The only suggestion is fix the tuna please. I know you can do better. Thank you

Matthew Garcia is my favorite employee at this establishment. One time, I went on a date here and she didn't actually finish her food but Matthew made my food and it was absolutely delicious. Service was quick, and costs were really good even though I paid for 2 meals. Would bring a date here again as long as she finishes her food and Matthew makes the food 😂

we always love this place for a very long time, but recently my orders haven’t been correct, wrong food item, or missing item. today i used the mobile app and ordered for pickup but my whole order was incorrect so i was a little dissatisfied and disappointed on the service and food. My order number: 6051715954506835. I asked for no pecan but there was extra pecans on my salad. It also came with sauce for the salad but there was no salad sauce. i hope to have a better experience with panera bread.
