    This is one of the best Paneras I have ever been to. The manager, Penny, helped me out so much with an issue I had with my order. She and the caterer who delivered it were so amazingly helpful, considerate, and kind. Shout out to them both for being absolutely fantastic. Thank you!!

    This location is a little farther west than I need to go to have some Panera bread bowl soup but it is my favorite choice. Everything is always FRESH and the cleanliness is top tier. Always welcoming staff and Eric goes the extra steps to even help bring trays out to your table if he sees you need to make 2 trips or anything he’s right there to help out.
