Don't order pick up drive thru at this location as they don't have a separate line for you to pick up your food from. I figured if they offered this that they'd be like Canes or Culvers next door who offer a separate line or prioritize getting you the food, but they don't. They also didn't utilize their drive through spots so I could get my food. It was ready but was sitting there behind those who ordered there and waited until their food was made.

Enjoyed having lunch with my niece, I ordered the French Onion Soup. Although it was very tasty it needed to be hotter. The soup was luke warm, it felt as if it was sitting on the counter for a long time prior to being buzzed with the buzzer. But Panera does make a great soup.

Messed up my delivery, not a big deal. Told me a would get a refund. Had to call corporate and they told me the refund was never issued. Not sure who's running this place but they struggle to do basic tasks

I visit this place once a week on my way to work for a breakfast sandwich and a coffee.
I don’t know what’s changed over the past month or two, but the last four times I’ve stopped, my experience has been pretty dismal.
On my last visit, I was given a cold breakfast sandwich, the visit before that, I was given a different coffee than what I ordered, the visit before that, I was given a cold coffee (didn’t order a cold coffee), and the visit before that, I ordered a large coffee and was given a small coffee, they did remake it, but I had to park and go in.
I think it’s time to find a new morning coffee spot.
