    Love the fresh food here and the ample choices. Prices are high so we don't come here often. This is more a special treat for our family if 5.

    Panera offers their rewards customers a free pastry during the month of birth, that's a better perk than what my wireless carrier supplies. Today I had a breakfast sandwich, Chipotle Chicken Avo on an assiago bagel. The chipotle sauce, peppers and cilantro really hits the taste buds in a yummy 😋 way.

    Hands down the best Panera around. The food is excellent and speedy, the coffee is hot, the tables are clean, the wifi is fast, they're open late, and there's a fireplace in the middle of the restaurant. Amazing.

    Every time we go to this location we have a problem. It’s surprising since they usually aren’t busy. The location is convenient for us but we would rather drive further away than deal with thiis. Something is always wrong with the order and we have to return to correct it.
