- MHMary Hammerbacher2 days ago5.0The soups are unsurpassed. I can’t possibly duplicate the recipe and flavor. Their Autumn Squash has been magnificent ! Just wish it was offered year round. My husband says their tomato soup is the closest to what he had in Scotland that he really loved. We get it all the time!
- JMJustice Van MeterNov 11, 20253.0Stood there for awhile before I was noticed, seemed to take awhile for my food.
- MSmichele scottOct 22, 20254.0It was okay, thought they might have had more selection on sandwiches instead of chicken, I like ham and cheese and only offered that as breakfast item.
- TCTrent CarterOct 1, 20255.0Food good as usual and coffee better than most places (cheaper too being a sip club member). I overheard the manager/supervisor RACHEL 9/30/2025 talking to a new employee about how to keep the place clean and customers pleased while at Panera. I cannot state enough how professional and appropriate she was while talking to the new employee!! She was not condescending and explained duties and expectations better than some CEOs of companies I have heard give speeches. If the store owner/franchise representatives read this review, do what you can to grow and keep employees like Rachel around.
- RJRobert JaySep 16, 20255.0Cinnamon Crunch bagels are the best. Awesome coffee and great service 👍
