    The staff working in the kitchen is wonderful. Great food! I’ve been enjoying Panera Bread veggie sandwiches and soup on and off since 2007.

    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
