I’ve eaten at this Panera a few times. The location is always clean, staff are friendly and accommodating. The food is good and they take care to be responsive to people who have food allergies.

Pleasant place to eat with a relaxed atmosphere. It's nice to see that many groups use it as a daily or weekly meeting place.

Rude for no reason. I placed a pickup order as a member which was pointless because they made me re order at the register. No other panera is this annoying l

Panera is my go to for chicken noodle soup when I'm feeling under the weather. There's something about the aroma and warm broth clearing your sinuses, and warming an upset belly! Luckily I had my significant other that could run in for me as this location does not have a drive thru! It was a short wait time. About a quart size with four fresh hot baguettes. Spoons and bowls provided. $26 is a bit steep but it is well worth the comfort and soothing that the soup provides!
