    I am so glad that I am familiar with the normal Panera Bread experience & quality, because if this had been my first experience, it would also have been my last! Employees seem dazed, unaware, unfocused, and uninterested in their guests. No one was at the front counter for several minutes, granted there are the kiosks, but we prefer human interaction, and had a few questions about some new menu items. Dishes were piled up at trash/dish station, while several employees had discussions in the prep/kitchen area about an employee's schedule. I was served cool soup, it wasn't even lukewarm. We had to ask for a code to use the restroom...granted I'm visiting this area, maybe there's an issue with having a public restroom here, but when I have to wait for an employee to acknowledge me so that I can ask "permission" to wash my hands inorder to eat my sandwich, it's pathetic! The food itself was flavorful as is expected from Panera Bread... but if you're in the area, and craving Panera's hot soups on a cold, rainy day... I highly suggest choosing another location!!

    Everything was amazing! From the employees to the food - I have no complaints. The store was very clean and there was plenty of seating. The menu was impressive with the variety of options. I especially love their Mac and cheese. I also tried their seasonal pumpkin cookie and it was so beyond good! I also had to try their Pumpkin Spice Latte and it was perfect. I definitely recommend this restaurant for everybody.

    I got the Mexican salad and it showed several slices of avocado on top. There was one small slice of avocado, but it was so hard I couldn't even bite it so threw it out. The salad itself was completely tasteless. No flavor at all. For a Mexican themed salad you would expect some flavor, but more than half of the salad was rice rather than lettuce as I expected and the dressing was completely tasteless. I ordered it in the Drive-Thru which took an extremely long time to get and then by the time I ate it I wasn't there anymore. If I had eaten it in the restaurant I would have returned it as soon as I tried to bite the avocado. I also got a smoothie which was a full cup of ice with smoothie poured over it.

    My husband and I have only been to this location twice. The service is great and the food is good. However the floors and tables were dirty. And both times homeless have come in, taken a Panera plastic glass out of the trash, wash it in the soda fountain and steal soda. The homeless must be stealing everyday from this location if it has happened the only times we have been there. I understand why this location locks their restrooms. Unfortunately this location really should put trash and soda fountains behind the counter to keep people from stealing.

    I get a bad impression from any business that ignores customers for minutes after entering, despite there only being 1 person eating in the lobby and 0 cars in the drive-through. Greet your customers, dont ignore people when they walk up to hour counter. Don't avoid eye contact while people are waiting to order and every staff member is in the back. Very poor quality service and unwelcoming staff.
