    The pricing is somewhat premium, yet the quality of the cuisine and the variety of options are commendable.

    Manager seems like a great guy very welcoming and helpful. Every single time i order a grilled cheese it comes insanely undercooked, cheese not melted, bread either not toasted or completely burnt yet the cheese will still not be cooked. They had THE BEST grilled cheeses for a while but the past 2 years every time i go i feel sick.

    This place frequently runs 10 to 20 min behind the pick up order time. Its annoying but its always busy in there. However, watching a manager checking temps on soup while her entire line team is drowning in orders is aggravating to watch as a customer.

    Paid $9.90 for two large drinks, thinking there would be a fountain and quick service. Waited more than 10 mins to be handed two cups so I could fill my own drink. As I entered the restaurant and waited near the pickup it appeared there was no longer a publicly accessible fountain. I inquired with the person expediting (manager?) about my order after several minutes of waiting and was told "it will be up in a few minutes" and dismissed, just for him to hand me two empty cups a few minutes later. Positively asinine! Panera as a chain was a good stop before COVID, but since then, it's a mess. Every time I give a different one a chance it's something like this. Not interested in giving them any more chances. I'll find somewhere who isn't so expensive and won't waste my time.

    I want to recognize Elijah for the outstanding service he provided when I visited this Panera Bread on September 14. He was the supervisor on duty, and his customer service, professionalism, attentiveness, and leadership were truly exceptional. What stood out most was the standard Elijah held throughout the entire visit. You could tell that he came in with the intention of making sure every customer was taken care of properly. Even when members of the team seemed to be having an off day or when something was missed in terms of attentiveness, urgency, tone, or service, Elijah stepped in immediately. Every time someone dropped the ball, he picked it right back up. He consistently reinforced, through both his words and his actions, the level of service customers should receive. That says a lot about his character and leadership. It is one thing to provide excellent customer service when everything is running smoothly; it is another thing to maintain that standard, lead by example, and help keep the entire operation on track when challenges arise. Elijah did exactly that. Every workplace will have moments that can become learning experiences, but what matters is having people who recognize the standard and are willing to uphold it. Elijah absolutely did that. He gave all-star service, demonstrated real leadership, and made me feel that taking the extra drive to this location was worth it. Elijah deserves recognition for the work he is doing. This location has something special in its management team, and they definitely have something special in him.
