    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First time trying Panera’s Creamy Tomato Soup in a sourdough bread bowl — and wow. This was my first time ever trying Panera Bread’s creamy tomato soup, and I decided to go all in with the sourdough bread bowl. Best decision. The soup was rich, smooth, and comforting without being too heavy, and the sourdough added the perfect tangy, cozy balance. Dipping the bread into the soup (and then eating the bowl itself) made the whole experience feel extra comforting and satisfying. It’s definitely one of those meals that feels warm, nostalgic, and perfect for a chill day.

She is incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming to every client she interacts with. Her commitment to service is evident in her constant smile and positive demeanor. She does a great job representing Panera Bread and ensures customers feel valued and well-cared for. Thank you for employing such a dedicated and professional worker. Thank you guys for hiring people they made your customers day👏👏👏

    Whoever the cashier was that was working during lunch on 12/09 needs better customer service skills. She can at least TRY to make an effort to help customers. Awful experience.

    Aleia runs a tight shift at this Panera. Her managerial skills, organization, and attention to cleanliness are outstanding, and she consistently delivers an excellent customer experience. Because of her leadership, this location feels elevated compared to other Panera restaurants.

    $16 for a sandwich has almost nothing in it. Their food quality and quantity is getting worse and worse. We even stop out catering for our events. Last time we spent over $560 and the food wasn’t even enough for 10 people.
