    I had a pick up order for a value duet meal. Comes with half of a turkey and cheddar and a cup of chicken and wild rice soup. I love that soup! However, I got home, opened up the bag, and it's chicken noodle freakin' soup! NOPE! You had one job!! Called the store and the manager is "out". Ha!

    I love this place because they have a drive-through and the staff is always super friendly. They are also really fast with their orders so I don't have to be sitting there waiting for too long.

    Bernise had the most wonderful customer service skills and was such a breath of fresh air to talk to! The cafe is welcoming and the interior was clean, and we liked the variety of seating available. Our food at this location was the best Panera we’ve had so far, made with care and tasted fresh even late into the night. I could not recommend this Panera on 38th Ave. enough!
