    Soda fountain was out of Diet Pepsi. Orders were not announced loud enough when ready so you didn't know when your order was up. But great place to meet with friends for long conversations

    I would like to compliment Stephanie in catering. She goes above and beyond to make sure catering orders are made with care. If you need catering? Please call and ask for her.

    I placed an order for delivery via the Panera app with fulfillment by DoorDash. It was originally supposed to be delivered between 5:27 and 5:47, but the order kept getting pushed back later and later, until 6:25. I called the store and they said the order was waiting for a driver. I called DoorDash, and they told me there was a driver but the store hadn't marked the order as ready. I tried to call the store back. No one answered, so I had to call Panera customer service to get a refund. This is the second time this has happened at this location. The first time I asked for my order to be cancelled and a refund issued, but the store manager didn't do that correctly and I had to open a case with Panera. Don't order delivery from this location unless you want to have a similar frustrating experience.

    Last Thursday evening, I visited the store to order a few pastries for the next day. The woman at the counter was very helpful and patient while taking my order. However, when she needed a supervisor to approve an override, the supervisor was surprisingly rude. She told me that if I wanted to place an order again, I should use the app or call by phone. If that’s the case, why even keep the counter open for orders?
