    Typical panera food, ok. But this place is gross. It's run down and beat up. The ceiling is greasy Brown. Doesn't look like it's had a good cleaning in a long time.

    Very fast food type experience. Avoid eating here if you don't like to eat plastics. Even the soup spoon was plastic and it was for hot liquid!! 🤢 This Panera was probably fine compared to other locations but I was really put off by all the unhealthy plastics. My salad came in a plastic clamshell and the dressing came in a plastic container. The utensils were all plastic. I had to mix up my salad myself with dressing in the plastic container by shaking it around in the plastic. The soup was in a bowl so why wasn't the salad? Thought I remembered that their food used to be on plates. I just don't want all these plastics in my body. The price was really low which was nice but I was really wanting more of an upscale experience from this visit.

    What a dismal experience. Two employees on staff on a Saturday morning with zero manning the front counter to take orders. An iced coffee, iced tea, and a breakfast sandwich were $14 and the drinks were all a DIY variety, not even mixed by member of staff. Iced coffee was so bad we poured it and left. Walked around the plaza to Bold Cup Coffee where we were able to find a decent iced coffee. Congrats Panera, you’ve become the Blockbuster of the 21st century.

    The best Panera I’ve been to in a LONG time! Employees were happy and fast. Bread was WARM!! crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It’s rare to find a Panera with good bread, but this one had it.
