I go to this Panera frequently! It's always well kept and the staff here is amazing. They are always so friendly and the manager definitely goes above and beyond to ensure that people are having a good experience. I come here to study and eat and it's my favorite location! They are always so kind with their responses! Totally recommend 10/10!

have such a great experience at Panera every day thanks to a lovely lady Rafi who helped me at the counter. She is so kind, patient, and had the warmest smile. You can tell she genuinely cared about making sure everyone has a good experience. She take the time to answer my questions and made sure my order was just right. It’s rare to come across someone who makes your day a little brighter just by being themselves — but RAFIA absolutely did!
Panera is lucky to have someone like her representing their brand. Thank you for the great service and positive energy!
