    My experience at Panera was very pleasant. I was surprised because it's a fast-food place, but for the season they have the Harvest Medley Salad and the Autumn Squash Soup, which are super delicious. The salad is new on the menu and very complete with nuts, fruit, arugula, and cheese. I love the combination of sweet and savory, and if you like that combination, this salad has itβ€”very complete and delicious. The soup is also very tasty, taking advantage of the autumn season. The place is very nice, clean, with a very nice atmosphere, moderate noise, and good service! This place is a good option; I recommend it!

    Food is ok, typical Panera. But what makes me sad is how dirty the dining room and especially dirty the outdoor sitting area is. It would not take much effort or cost to power-wash the outdoor sitting area, replace dated outdoor furniture or to clean restrooms doors or to wipe windows and entry doors. It is frustrating to see so poorly managed place in this beautiful community. 1 for service because I consider hygiene part of the service. With that said, staff is nice and polite.

    A fast food restaurant with sandwiches, soups, salad, cookies, and coffee. A nice place to hang out with friends with no time limit. There is no table service. Free wifi, if you choose to sit and work on your computer

    Ordered the Chipotle chicken avocado melt which I've had before but this time the chicken tasted strange and bland. It does not taste like real chicken. I started to gag after eating it.
