    Drive thru is slow. Parking is not great. Bread baguette seems not too fresh. Inside there was no whole milk for the coffee. Overall ok experience just avoid the drive thru and be patient to find parking. In customer service and especially in food service, friendly workers and fuller drinks should be an expected standard. I did not experience much warmth.

    Luke needs to chill. Rude as hell once I showed my vet Id. He / she ?? literally threw my pastry across the counter towards me after I asked for the free pastry (Veterans Day freebies for vets). Chatted with team leader ( not about he / she ) as i filled my drink. She was sweet. Worked there over 20 years.

    Salads, soups and sandwiches made to order. Thank you for making "fresh" a priority! I enjoy the sips clup rewards and come about daily for a drink. The sips club rewards has saved me hundreds of dollars. If you live close by, this sips clubs rewards is great to partake in as it's good at any Panera location! I've used it from Indiana to Florida! A free drink every 2 hours? It's worth the $$! I just wish hot chai tea was included in the sips club as I have to make it every morning being i am not much of a coffee drinker. Here's a hint, if you order an iced drink and prefer lite ice, please be certain to go through drive thru or oder inside. The app doesn't allow anyone to special order lite ice drinks on the menu...

    I got drive thru at this location. I always love Paneras food, no matter which location. The food tasted good and I am glad we stopped.
