    I got to try their almond croissant during Veterans Day, and it was good. Flaky, buttery, and not overly sweet, just the right balance of almond flavor and crunch. I also really love that the bakery did something special for Veterans Day, it’s thoughtful and shows how much they care about the community. Definitely coming back for another croissant soon! 🥐 Thank you, Panera! 💚

    The food was delicious. Made to order. Staff was very nice. Headed back there tomorrow. The Harvest Medley salad was superb. The floor by pick up was very sticky. Hope that is corrected tomorrow.

    Customer service terrible, I went ahead and ordered and spent four dollars on a large cup, and they had given me a small. I go up to the counter and the food runner was so rude. Then when I got the confirmation number saying my food was ready so when he was packing up some of the food, I started looking to see which one was mine then he stated those are not yours and with a rude attitude!!!
