Still astounded that even with bringing it up, this store can't brew coffee properly. When you have to check if you are pouring coffee or tea because the coffee is lighter, there is a problem. Hate to stop going, but this store is the reason I can no longer do Panera because I can no longer justifying paying for coffee sprinkled water.
Update - iced coffee is still lighter than tea and either not brewed with enough grounds, or not brewed long enough. Owner comment did not address issue.

BASICALLY A ONE STOP SHOP HOMELESS SHELTER. I typically eat at this location for lunch/dinner as of today 8/28 between 12pm to 2pm I was eating and waiting for friends so we could enjoy our meals together so I had grabbed a booth table, three homeless people came in and decided to sit at a 2 person booth across from me and one of the three without hesitation or asking if the seat was saved decided to sit a my table and was talking with there group even though there was completely open 4 person booths for them to use. that I'm most positive that they didn't even buy anything but they did large Panera cup that they most likely saved from a previous visit so it looked like they purchased something which is disgusting, and the worst part about this homeless group is that they bought and brought in a pizza from nextdoor and decided to sit and eat it, and since I had taken back the seat at the booth I was at they just decided to take up 2 different tables around me while eating the outside product and as I'm writing this there is actively a homeless person aimlessly walking around the restaurant but at least he bought something from the restaurant, Even when I don't eat at this location I still pass by on a daily basis and constantly see homeless just hanging around this location. staff are very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly and the rating would've been higher if it wasn't for the consistent homeless presence here and I wouldn't say that this is a place for families or children to be eating at. And Realistically a I don't think 30 min trespass policy wouldn't work at all here and having security for daytime most likely just going to lead having more negative reviews for this location unfortunately...
