    This is the 2nd time in a month I have been to this Panera with bad results. Today, the food was noticeably poorly made. Salad was almost half lettuce stock including end, soup had giant chunks of leaves in it and tasted flavorless. For $17, I can go to a lot of different places for better food. A week ago, I was the only car in the drive thru, ordered a bagel and it took 7 minutes. I am done with this Panera for a while.

    I stopped at this Panera and ordered pastries and a half-dozen bagels. When I picked up my order, the pastries were in a box, but the bagels were just thrown on top of the box with no separate bag. That felt careless and unprofessional. For the price Panera charges, I expected a bit more care and basic packaging.

    Panera bread at this location is really solid. Their staff is super nice and if there is any issue they make it right every time. There tea is always fresh, their food is always piping hot. You just really can't ask for more.

    They made fun of my name. And didn’t get my order right.

    The bread is fabulous & sandwiches fresh and good. I will add that the meat is a bit on the light side.
