    Went in and try to get a chili bowl and a cinnamon crunch bagel. Another sandwich ect. Needless to say I was asking questions as to what was all in the food I was ordering . the meat type of meat that was in the sandwich and so on, long story short, I kept getting short answers and smart remarks. Service was horrible. Worst service at a Panera bread I ever encountered. I haven’t really eaten my food so I can’t really stay how well it is.

    Food was tasty but a bit on the cold side. Staff were great, but there were flies all around the bread and desserts.

    As an over the road trucker one of the best paneras in America. I stop here often. , sandwiches and soups are excellent, the only complaint is that when you ask for a plastic cup that you paid for, they look at you strangely as if you didn't pay for it, they should have the receipts to check immediately and not make the customer uncomfortable.
