    Clean space, very nice staff. This is the first time I saw a Panera store manager walk around and check on customers asking around if everything is ok. Great impression.

    Stopped in to try some of their bakery items, specifically the flip flop design cookies. It was 2:30pm and they only had 2 left! These last 2 looked like a child had tried to decorate them. Very sad presentation. They just did not have much product. I did purchase the small bag of orange flavored scones. They were a big let down. Not worth buying. It had been a few years since my last visit to a Panera and this was my last.
