    On the coffee table they change extra for any kind of syrup. But I find a syrup available always on the coffee tables on other gas stations.

    Food is alwats good but a bit pricey. They made some changes to the food choices which is great but it took much longer than in the past for it to be ready. Overall we like it.

    I love Panera. I really do. But this place is just terrible. It took forever for our food to come out - I'm pretty sure they forgot about us until I went up and said something. And every table in the restaurant was dirty. That's not an exaggeration - ALL of the tables were dirty. It was so gross.
