    This Panera is oddly shaped. The food is always good, but I feel the price is high for the amount of food. Panera is the domain of the chardonnay soccer moms. Not my scene. But when I've met people here, it's quiet and a decent bite.

    Half of DoorDash order was missing. This is the second time this has happened, never again. Called the “manager” and she offered zero solutions and couldn’t have cared less. CHECK ORDERS BEFORE THEY GO OUT.

    This was one of the worst takeout experiences I’ve ever had. The staff at this location is absolutely unprofessional. I had to ask the cashier to repeat every single thing she said twice because she was basically whispering. She put the wrong name on the order. The items were ALL wrong. Unfortunately, it was a takeout, and I did not discover it until I was home 30 minutes later. Calling the location was also completely unhelpful, they could not do anything to fix their error.
