    Try their value menu for a reasonably priced lunch. Other options can be on the costly end for a typical fast casual restaurant. Their food quality has always been really good.

    I dont really come here that often but the experience with the cashier made me think twice. The food was good as normal but when you receive an attitude from cashier, who btw was supposed to ring your order correctly and ask the appropriate questions to avoid overcharging me, there was no accuracy or accountability from her. It left a sour taste in my mouth about who Panera bread is putting at the forefront to represent the best in customer satisfaction.
