    The food was good and recommendations from Linda were great but dang it; It's just prohibitively expensive to go back there. Imagine $20 each weekday. That's $100 a week and $400 to $500 a month just to eat at Panera. #price

    Was just there for a breakfast sandwich and they forgot my sausage patty. I went back to the drive through window and let the lady know they did not add the sausage and insisted that they did. I do not appreciate basically being called a lier and will not be back.

    I came in this morning to pick up breakfast for my office- the bagel package and two drinks. The bagel order was wrong, which is fine, we got it figured out. But then my drink order was also incorrect. When I politely notified the employee behind the counter that I ordered an iced (said twice to the cashier) pumpkin latte and not regular, and he and the cashier loudly accused me of lying, showing me the receipt (conveniently not provided to me). I said I don’t care what it says, I didn’t type that and that’s not what I asked for, and I got laughed at in my face in front of other customers. Who needs enemies when you can pick up your breakfast in the morning and be treated like this? WOW.

    This is one of the best Panera's that my husband and I go to. It's exceptionally clean and the staff is the best. The service is always 100%, the staff is friendly, cheerful and always so helpful. Its such a pleasure to go somewhere where everyone has smiling faces and you feel welcome, even the cooks behind the counter are always smiling. I'm so impressed with this location!!! I think the managers name is Bob. He is always hands on, helping everyone and still smiling. I'm sure he is very proud of his staff. They are the best. We only met a few by name Crystal, Loren, and Heather, and are always like busy bees. It's so nice to encounter so much positive vibes instead of negative. All of this shows there is still hope and kindness in this world!!! Kudos to all of the staff at the this location. Thank you for all your smiles 🙂
