I had the best Veggie Mediterranean Sandwich. I watched Grant make it with so much love. It was delicious! I wish all Panera Bread locations made it like this.

The food was good, i had never been here before, but i wanted to leave a review as the cashier i had, Ashley, was an extremely nice and friendly worker. I hope that the business sees this and forwards the compliment to her. The people cooking my food were fast and cooked it well, it was an all around pleasant experience.

Had dinner here a few days ago. It was amazing! The food was nice and warm (which really gave me a cozy vibe since it was frigid outside) and the employees were kind and helpful. The only thing I see that others should look out for are the prices. But other than that it’s a-o-kay!!

Seriously every time we go here they are messing up the soda fountain is horrible tasting the ice machine taste like mold or something else is wrong with it half the time they don’t add sugar to your coffee and the drive through lines are not coordinated properly they should move cars to pickup spaces when they order food for six people and the person behind is just getting coffee!
