Unfortunately, after taking a biteof my sandwich, I found hair in the bagel….. like it was baked inside of the dough….

I absolutely love this Panera! No matter how busy or slow it is, the staff is consistently kind and welcoming. The manager, in particular, always has a smile on their face and is ready to help with anything. Whether I’m stopping in for a full meal or just a quick coffee, I always leave in a better mood. There are plenty of Paneras in the area, but this one is hands-down the best!

I come here pretty frequently and either get mobile pick up or order in store. Every time I’ve gotten food from here it’s been quick, correct and yummy. Whenever I order any of the sandwiches, they make it exactly like I ask for. The employees who work here are also quite nice! Never had any issues here, 10/10!!
