    Great Panera. Even better than the last one I went to. The tomato soup plus the french ciabatta sandwich was the perfect combination.

    This Panera rules. Breakfast sandwiches are the best deal in town. Coffee is great!

    Better than the typical Panera. Modern & clean. Friendly staff. Emily was particularly helpful and obviously had the menu memorized. She even suggested some delicious deviations. Great experience. Will go again.
