- CPcharlize pena6 days ago1.0Glad Panera was getting known as being a third space, me and my 2 friends (college students) arrived to study and eat after. The place was 30 percent full and we grabbed a booth, after being there for an hour we were approached and asked if we had any intention of ordering, and we would be kicked out by the manager if we did not order in the next few minutes. We were not being loud or taking up space. Most tables had trash on them and other were empty. No need to approach us as if we were being disrespectful, when the trash on near by tables stayed longer then us. Bathrooms were disgusting and service was slow even after we ordered, short staffed and it shows.
- DZDenis ZverevJan 19, 20265.0Probably one of the best Panera Bread restaurant in a whole state. Been here for a year. Great stuff, clean tables and restroom. Big portions of food.
- TCThomas CherianJan 17, 20263.0Coming back to this location after a couple of months as I do not live in the area. A little disappointed with this place. It was a Saturday morning. Was going to spend a couple of hours here while waiting for my wife to finish her training. A lot of items on the menu were sold out. They had no regular egg. The bathroom door locks were broken and bathrooms not clean. The seating area had torn seat covers. The ordering area had no buzzers. Felt like they were running on minimum staff and resources. Might look for another location next time when in the area. Coffee and pastries were great as usual.
- MSMark SJan 4, 20263.0If you’re going to require customers to enter a dine-in table number, what’s the purpose if orders are still yelled out across the restaurant? Either use the table number system or don’t—right now it feels inconsistent and unnecessary.
- LPLeslie PhanDec 30, 20253.0Online pickup orders are no longer on the shelf for easy pickup. They are now behind the counter. You have to wait for a staff to help you. Even at 6:30am on a weekday, staff aren’t even there to assist. You have to track them down yourself. Also, not sure why my bagels are constantly burnt.
