Normally like this place, but lately there is never any coffee, hot or cold, when the guy working tonight (Saturday night) is there. We came in at 7pm tonight and there was no coffee at all.

As always the Panera employees are polite, quick to answer questions and very patient! I absolutely love eating at Panera and this location is one of the nicest locations that I enjoy going to whenever I have a chance. The food is always great and they will give you fresh bread when you ask about getting oven fresh bread 😊 their soups are hearty and their creamy soups are very delicious and well… creamy! Their sandwiches and deserts are also very delicious and the drinks are awesomely refreshing! 10/10 will continue to eat here again!

Just got hung up on by someone claiming to be a manager because I dared to get upset when she told me that I made the order wrong for all the sandwiches that we got that were wrong even though I'm the one who placed the order over the phone . then insisted I wasn't giving her the name on the order ( told her 3 times) so she wasn't going to take an attitude from me. How do you order two completely different separate sandwiches and have both of them made wrong the same way ? Then tell the person who calls you that you ordered it wrong or that it comes that way ? Yeah I will admit after the second time she told me it was my fault that the order was correct I gave attitude . But I've worked in customer service for almost 20 years and I've done a lot to try to fix wrong food orders but I've never once shifted that blame on to the customer . This is my third time going to this location and it will be my last every order I've ever gotten from them has been wrong in one way or another and the attitude that I've gotten when I point out that the orders been wrong has been crazy. I was a waitress for 15 years I overtip and I never take my frustration out on the server I get how it all works but this was crazy

The food was bad. I haven’t been to Panera in a while and was utterly disappointed. I got the chipotle chicken avo melt. It used to be soooo good. This time around chicken wasn’t smoked as advertised. Sandwich barely had avocado on it, and there was NO cheese on the sandwich.
Service was fast. Place is clean and perhaps (the manager?) lady dressed in black was attentive and bussed our table.
