    Good food. My go-to for grilled cheese and tomato soup. Expensive.

    Shout out to Panera (not just this store)! Your quality of food, service and atmosphere has been very consistent in my (and my family's) experience... I particularly appreciate the variety of coffee condiments available (at no extra cost)and the free WiFi 😇 Today, at this location, Emma was particularly helpful and kind. It was not necessarily what she did (doing her job as expected), but it was really the Way she did it that prompted me to write this review/ comment. Have a blessed day! ☮️

    I've never waited less than 10 minutes in the drive through. Even if I mobile order ahead of time it's never ready. Today I waited 20 minutes for a croissant in the drive through. There were three cars ahead of me. This is a consistent problem.

    I had a pick-up 2 minutes past closing time & I was given the order with a smile. That's rare to find. Thank you
