I always buy their cheese broccoli soup for someone very special to me that has had problems and can’t have solid food right now and it is delicious. She enjoys it and I’ve always enjoyed it. Also, my mother loves their orange scones so I frequent there to pick those up for her! Great place to have a delicious breakfast or a really tasty lunch. I love their pick two.!! Always a friendly face when I visit there and something delicious to eat!!

Tried to purchase bagels and redeem my bday treat today through an online order. They were out of quite a few bagels, which would have been good to know before showing up. They really didn’t have what I needed for the order, and they did offer a refund. However, the manager told me I should have been there 10 minutes earlier (mind you, the order was placed a little before that time), bc someone bought all the bagels I wanted. Before I had much time to reply, she snatched up my bags and walked away. I’ll never come to this one again.

This branch of Panera always goes above & beyond for me! The food is excellent, and customer service not only friendly but helpful too. The displays and store always appear top notch as well. This visit, the online app suggested something the store was currently out of for the day. The manager/Erin kindly called me prior to my pickup time, and we figured out another great option. Upon me walking in for my order, I also witnessed the staff trying to work with a very disgruntled customer. Staff handled the situation very professionally, offering an apology for the mishap and also flexibility of options to better the situation overall. Although the customer clearly wanted to air her grievances loudly and make a scene, this team remained calm and polite. Reminder to be kind and gracious to those that show up. They’re hiring too!!
