Wasn't impressed! Food wasn't that good. Employees never changed they gloves. Saw one scoop up tuna salad and put it in her hand then put it on the bread. Another employee had to change the paper out of the printer the entire time wearing gloves then goes right back to serving food like nothing happened. I was very disgusted. For Mac and cheese and half a cesser salad it took well over 20 mins for my order. It wasn't even that busy to have wait times like that. Won't be back

Ke’arra is the best! I eat lunch there almost everyday and she already knows my pastry choices and how I like my order! I had lost my wallet and she made sure to check on me the visits that came after to see if I ever found it. ( which I did) I loved how she remembered and asked if I was ok and if I had found it! She’s a very sweet young lady!! Who should get a raise!! lol

Worst Panera I’ve ever been to. Placed a “rapid” order an hour prior to pick up. App said my order would be ready at 12:17 pm. They didn’t have my order ready until 12:40 pm. Not one apology or acknowledgement of my wasted time. There were many angry people waiting along side me. I’d like to say this is the first time this has happened, but it’s not. I haven’t been to this location in years because this same thing happened the last time I was there. Hoped this time would be different. Food was subpar as well.
