    The food and atmosphere are standard Panera you'll find anywhere. The wait time is inexcusably slow. I'm talking about showing up when the order is supposed to be ready, and finding out that they haven't started making it yet, THEN waiting through their standard slow preparation. Last visit, it took 40 minutes from the time I ordered a cup of soup until they served it. (Note that a cup of soup requires no prep. They just ladle it into a container.) This happens every time I go here. (If you're wondering why I return, it's because it's closest to my office, and I just order WAY before I need to eat.) Last time was special, though - one of the cashiers asked if they needed help, and the preppers yelled back "nah, we got it!" Crazy. Don't go here if you have any sort of time pressure.

    I’d say a 4-star is still a “good” experience. On average it’s a good Panera to visit. A bit on the slower side. Might want to avoid the after church rush on a Sunday but cause that can result in an hour wait time for your food but otherwise a good Panera.

    Amazing place to eat and work. One of the staff baked us a fresh pumpkin cinnamon roll + regular cinnamon roll for free because we ordered one and they didn't have it.

    The girl at the window was rude and then it took them 10 - 15 mins to get our food out of the drive thru window. The food wasn’t good. I have better at another location. I will not be going back to this one.

    To the August 26, 2026 shift @6:45. I basically had to make my own sandwich over. I had to take the ingredients from my old sandwich and put it on my new sandwich because I couldn't eat the type of bread they gave me. They didn't have the bread to go with the sandwich I had ordered. Also the cooks was playing around. I just should've went to Jersey Mikes! No one wants to spend money on food and it's not right!
