    Lots of variety, with mix and match options ❤️ Consistent quality. My favorite is the soup in a bread bowl-very hearty and filling. There are also many tempting bakery treats to choose from-bagels, muffins, pastries, cookies, and more! For the health conscious, smoothies and creative salads are available 🙂 Reasonable pricing for what you get.

    Man, did this place go downhill. I've heard they don't bake any breads or baked goods in-house anymore and I'd believe it if confirmed true. Their portions are significantly smaller, their prices are more than significantly higher and it's just not the same company it was ten+ years ago. I don't think I could ever justify patronizing a Panera ever again just based on how much they're charging for such low quality food you can easily make at home.

    They give you a hard time if you're in there for a while/working for periods of time. Never heard of a coffee place with free wifi that does this

    This Panera is a poor one. The manager is always sprawled out at a table near the door like it’s her office and she frequently has loud conversations with employees. On multiple occasions we’ve heard her either berating an employee or talking badly about one employee to another. It’s extremely unprofessional and the staff follow their leader. There are some that are ok and some that are super rude. After multiple visits here, we’re finally fed enough to leave a bad review. When my husband asked for his cup so he could get his drink, the server said no, I have no record of your drink order. He nicely assured her he just placed one. And she snapped back that he was several orders away so “no”. Other customer who overheard the conversation remarked how rude it was. There have been other times the people serving food have been extremely discourteous. We are not the kind of people to leave a poor review but enough is enough.
