    Waiting in drive thru for 10 minutes for 1 “bowl”of soup. More like a glorified cup of soup which cost me $9 and no drink!! Private equity really ruined this business. Used to love coming here and now I feel price gouged. Goodbye Panera bread I’ll be going to Potbelly for now on with soup around $5

    This Panera location has such friendly, kind workers, it is nice and clean, and the food is always amazing. You can always tell they make the food with love and care. They don’t just throw everything together, they take the time to make it look nice, and taste delicious! I also appreciate how they have a microwave that you can use on your own. Especially to warm up a cinnamon roll or chocolate chip cookie. 🍪
