Arrived at 9am and only had a choice of 2 kinds of bagels. They were completely sold out. Ordered a bagel and hot tea. The hot water was empty of the tea. Waited 10 minutes and decided to ask to change for coffee. The girl behind the counter says to me I’m not burning myself for you. Why the comment when I just asked can I change for coffee. I needed a new cup cause I put honey in my other cup. She slams the cup down here you go. Very very rude. I will not be coming back here. Too many other places around that will appreciate the business and understand customers give them a job.

My son Uber ordered chicken noodle soup for me as part of his order. Ordered a cup for $8.99. No noodles. Two small pieces of chicken, two carrots, just broth for $8.99. I also had the squash soup which was fine. He had sandwich and chili. Don't know if they were any good

It had been 52 weeks since I had Panera and this location persuaded me to return and try their menu offerings; old and new!
I chose a healthy & heartwarming lunch with a bowl of autumn squash soup, a cranberry-walnut chicken salad sandwich—which consisted of chicken, dried cranberries and walnuts, mixed with creamy dressing and topped with crisp mixed greens and vine-ripened tomatoes (leave it out, please) on sourdough—plus a bag of baked potato chips and a big chocolate chip cookie.
They must have done a refresh and I couldn’t be more pleased to give them another chance. Everything was creamy delicious, the service was superb, and I was satisfied that even ordering in on a newly-retired income didn’t break the bank!
