    I’ve visited this Panera a few times and it’s always busy at lunch. You need to order online before you arrive to avoid sitting and waiting too long. The atmosphere is bustling and isn’t all that welcoming. The food is good - as you’d expect at Panera. Last time I went I had to wait an extra 5 mins for my food (longer than the app said it would take). Not a big deal, but this place doesn’t really meet my expectations.

    Normally love Panera bread but this location is trash. Multiple orders messed up while I was waiting, my order came out one item at a time and each had to be asked about individually, to-go fruit cup (already small normally) was less than half full.
