- JPJoanne PhilpottFeb 13, 20265.0If your looking for an easy breakfast, brunch or lunch this is a good place to try. Their breads and bagels are excellent. They offer a good selection to choose from with a half soup, salad or sandwich option available.
- BWBrad WilsonFeb 8, 20265.0When 3 of 5 coffee urns ran out, employees replaced 2 of them immediately and the 3rd one in a few minutes.
- JBJackie BasileFeb 2, 20263.0I ordered a breakfast Garden Avo & Egg white sandwich and I got half of it .
- TBtracy blackJan 25, 20261.0We keep trying to see if the food gets better, but it gets worse. We spent $74.00 on food that two of the salads had frozen chicken and two of the chicken sandwiches also had frozen chicken. The soup was lukewarm. The only thing that half way decent was the smoothie. Save your money and seek a better restaurant. We won’t be back
- CLCatherine LJan 21, 20265.0Hardest Working Managers Ever! Corporate Office should reward their efforts. Very busy place; but Panera quality & experience maintained. Great opportunity for corporate to recognize and maybe use this location for future - regarding focus on lots of customers at peak time and aging population if local area (interstate traffic stop for lunch/dinner as well as planned community if Lakewood Ranch close by, and Sarasota community at large patronizing this area for stores and services. Again / thank you outstanding Managers, Ymani & Dinesh.
