Average at best. Counter service was great and accurate. Not very clean, however, it could have been the time of evening.

I like Panera, but the service at this one is bad. 30+ minutes to get 2 bagels sliced and toasted. "Busy" was the excuse. They just need some efficiency.

This location is always missing items when I order delivery. Does no one check to make sure everything is ready to go? I wait almost an hour just to have things missing. Same with online pickup at the drive through. I am curious if the place is even managed at all.
