    My go to coffee spot. I love that you can see every ingredient in every item on the app. This makes life a lot easier if you have food allergies and want to grab a bite

    Normally so reliable--imagine my disappointment when I was sold a stale, day-old cinnamon crisp bagel. You can do better

    I didn’t actually patronize this Panera on 9/25. I was there to diffuse a client who was having a mental breakdown and ended up inside this restaurant. But the client was in good hands with the Manager, Jo Smith. You would have thought Jo was a trained specialist. He truly helped calm things down and went above and beyond for someone who wasn’t even a customer. I imagine Jo is a great Manager to work for and I will be going back to this Panera in the future. Thanks so much!
