    I've been to Paneras all over the country, and this is by far one of the laziest crews I've seen. Three hours before close, they covered the trash can instead of emptying it, forcing customers to deal with it themselves. When I tried to use the empty hot water tank, the staff watched me struggle and did nothing. There’s no microwave to reheat food, and with only about three outlets, it’s nearly impossible to work on a laptop. None of that would matter if the employees showed any care for customers, but they were more focused on gossiping than doing their jobs. If you’re here to eat and get some work done, skip this location and visit one of the nearby Paneras instead.. you can thank me later.

    Every time I go there in the afternoon there is no decaf coffee. Also, they do not put out the almond milk on the coffee bar, you always have to ask them. They also do not have a microwave available. Which in other locations they have all of these available all the time.

    A casual place to have something to eat and drink. The unique experience is that they don’t charge tips. But this is changing as I see the option to add tips when you order at the kiosk.
