    I had an amazing experience today thanks to a young man named God’s Will. His energy was on point from the moment I walked in. He was kind, attentive, and genuinely eager to help. You could tell he takes pride in treating people right. Courteous, patient, and respectful. Employees like him make the whole place feel welcoming. Panera needs more people with his attitude and professionalism. Great job, young king — you made my day better.

    Who puts cheese on sourdough and calls it grillled cheese? At $10 a sandwich, this was blatant laziness. Watch your online/delivery orders from this location. I’m extremely disappointed- they didn’t even add the white cheddar I paid extra for.

    Thee slowest location everrrrrr. Ordered online at 557pm. Ready time 642pm. It’s 7pm and I’m still waiting. Cup of soup, half salad and grilled cheese. That’s all. Smh. At 707pm they couldn’t tell me how much longer it would be. Requested a refund.
