The food wait times were longer than expected, though the staff were kind when our group interacted with them. The more serious issue was cleanliness. The cafe, including the restroom, was filthy and appeared not to have been cleaned in some time. We arrived at 7 a.m., so this was not the result of a busy day. There were crumbs, trash, dust, and visible grime on the seats, walls, and food counters. This is a serious concern for a food establishment and reflects very poor management.

Honestly this has to be one of the worst Panera locations. Food is NEVER ready close to the promised time and the restaurant is always understaffed. Bathrooms are not clean and neither is the dining area. Get these poor employees the help they need otherwise avoid this location. I’m not sure why we keep coming here hoping it will be better.

Idk what happened, but this location has made a wonderful turn around in the last few months regarding their customer service and order accuracy. My family has been going through an extraordinarily difficult time and this Panera has been a lifesaver when it comes to getting non-greasy, somewhat healthy food in a hurry. I wish I got her name, but the young lady who works at the drive thru in the afternoon is the absolute sweetest. She is always polite to my dog and I. I’m so grateful for her kindness, especially with what my family has been through this year. Thank you guys so much for working so hard. I know that Panera isn’t an easy place to work for. Your efforts, accuracy, and kindness mean a lot.

We ordered a Cranberry orange slice. There wasn't any out front and it took them forever to bring some out. We got to our table and realized why. It was overcooked! Just below being burnt. The outside was hard as a rock.
We didn't say anything because we were on our way to am appointments at main campus of clever clinic. I'm not a happy camper!
