It’s Panera, so you get exactly what you’re there for. Love their mac and cheese and baguette with butter. My favorite treat is the pecan pastry. They are pretty quick about getting your order unless it’s lunch time on a weekday.

This place was phenomenal. I can't give enough of review for Brandon. He caught a bee for a group, was very attentive, and super friendly.

I had everything bagels with cream cheese and butter, and green tea. It hit the spot. My friend had soup and salad. The service was friendly and fast. We enjoyed our booth seating two. It was private and yet open enough to enjoy the restaurant’s atmosphere. I loved the Bible quote from John posted in the front. The only reason why I gave the atmosphere only four stars is that some tables were stacked with dirty dishes. I cleared the table across from us.
