    Today was a big miss. The Bagel with Chicken and Pesto had a strange flavor. Bagel seemed fresh, but the taste was terrible.

    Another Panera that has been like a home to me—as they say, home is where the heart is! I'm always welcomed with great smiles and quick, friendly service, not to mention the awesome coffee and sweet and savory food! I'm looking forward to becoming part of the team!! Thank you so much, Panera HOT BREAD!!!! 😁

    Panera Bread is always a great choice to dine with friends and family. I buy Panera gift cards as Christmas and Birthday presents.

    Didn't snap any pics but the bread was exceptionally fresh for the bread bowls and the soups were perfect. The chilly weather we had the past few days called for Panera, and we were not disappointed. Also the staff that was bussing the dining area was pleasant and very quick to take care of their areas.
