I accidently dropped my wallet in the restaurant. A patron reportedly turned it in to the manager. They found my business card inside and called me. I came and picked it up, and my $500 cash was still in it. I fully expected to pay the "idiot tax" (wallet returned without cash), but was relieved to find that everyone who handled my wallet was honest. Thank you!

Joel greeted me with the biggest smile, so polite, unfortunately they were out of bread bowls but that happens. My order was perfect, the place was clean, they all work together as a team. Super impressed with this location!

A whole lot of Panera breads water down their soda, this location does not. Thank you to the manager/owner of this location for not cheeping out on your sip cup customers 🙏
