Stopped there at 6:04 am today and ordered a blueberry bagel at the drive through. There was one car ahead of me. When I finally get to the window at 6:20 am, I was informed they just run out of blueberry bagels. How can you open at 6 am and already be out of blueberry bagels at 6:20?

I have been to this Panera Bread location at least 3 times in the past month. I must say every time I have come on the past 3 visits, I have been very pleased with my service and food. A huge shout out and thank you is due to, Antwion. His level of service was unmarried because he was very knowledgeable about the menu, the food, desserts, drinks, deals, etc. More importantly, he knew exactly how to provide a service of patience, suggestions, honesty, and overall just great people skills! Antwion knows how to treat customers well so that they will want to come back to this location. Impressive service, Anwion! Keep it up!

Whoever is hiring these people needs to be fired. Some of the staff work hard and are helpful but most are not. I get quicker and more efficient service going through a Wendy’s drive thru.
Anytime I go through the drive thru, even if it’s just me, I expect to wait at least 5 minutes for a simple order. If there are multiple people in the drive thru, wait times can easily reach 10-15 minutes most times.
The location is in a good spot, and I like the food, but whoever is managing that place needs to be replaced.

This location is the worst now. I got a fruit and yogurt parfait. It barely had granola and they didn't give me any fruit. None! I also got a four cheese souffle It was burned. I know not to go back to this location, if I forget and do I know to check my bag at all times.
