    Table's were unattended, it wasn't that busy when we got there so not sure if they were coming off a rush or not but someone should have been cleaning up IMO.

    Like most other paneras, but they refuse to have cashiers so lines are really slow always.

    While I have had a good experience in the past, I ordered an avocado toast and was given wrong order. I pointed out to cashier. Who called manager Ina. Who made the supposed change. My order was less then what they prepared. And did not give me back the difference of an additional $2.00 and change. And gave me again my toast without the arragula or Tomatoes. Which is what it's shows on menu.
