    I just stopped by for a mango smoothie, but when I arrived there were so many people waiting for their orders. I was a little downhearted but stepped up to order anyway. They took my order and name and I joined the masses. Amazingly the large group of people all got their food in ten minutes, so I got mine much sooner than I thought.

    This particular Panera bread is a disgrace in representing the brand as a whole. Please shut down this establishment to save yourself from further embarrassment.

    Worst service. We missed flight! While workers laughed and joked inside! 2- 3 workers receive orders and saw 3 more inside. So they fully stuffed for proper service, they just don't eant to. The wait time for 1 veg sandwich is min 45 min!!! Huge crowd outside waiting for orders.

    Shocking quality, rude staff and always very slow and late. Avoid at all costs. Could not order a breakfast sandwich at 10am either. Despite showing availability

    This place doesn’t even deserve 1 star. Couldn’t give less. The food served is not even close to any other panera. I ordered a toast with avocado. It wasn’t even toasted properly. Leave seasoning and tomatoes. The tomatoes were on one side so half the sandwich never had seasoning and just got soggy. No taste or anything. Utter waste. Genuine recommendation is to stay hungry but don’t eat here
