    We visited because I had a reward visa card that was in contact with panera bread. The machine didn’t accept my card. Tried a few times, no luck! The gentleman at the cashier didn’t know about the card and the issue. I paid with another card. Later I called and spoke with “store manager” that knew nothing about the card and possible issue. She referred me to the customer support. Later I called the card services and appeared that the problem was with the machine at the store! And store manager was just holding the title and knew nothing about issues at her store. Pros: spacious and clean indoor space, ordering kiosks are very helpful when busy, easy parking, food can be customized

    Sadly, I think this location is becoming diminished in its service to customers. Twice in 2 weeks a simple egg/sausage/cheese sandwich order to go was missing the sausage and when I unwrapped my order it was egg on Ciabatta, no cheese, no sausage. Not going back to this one.
