    The store is super clean. The employees were very friendly. The food was delicious. The Citaba dippers are my favorite! Everything on the menu is good but the dippers are the best thing on their menu and really deserve a permanent spot on the menu.

    Out of apples? Doesn't even make any sense. Kitchen is slow. Panera appears to vary by region but this is not a great one.
