Generally good service. Nice for healthier food options. Sit outside when the weather is good. New drive thru is handy!

I would have Panera everyday! I am not a big fan of soup, but love their sandwiches and salads. They with no doubt have the best bagels I’ve ever had.

The food is good and service is usually fast, but whoever took my order this morning at the drive thru(and many other mornings in the past) sounds like she’s mad at me for coming here. Someone should talk to her about her attitude.

Panera is a great lunch place to go to. I normally always get their broccoli cheese soup which is wonderful but this time I tried one of their new broth bowls(actually I got both and shared them). They were ok, but I would not get them again. It didn’t have a lot of flavor but had some ok substance. I would not recommend those but I would say overall they have good healthy food

During the winter of last year, I started having an uncontrollable craving for creamy tomato soups. This has been the place that has always satisfy my cravings. I would like to take the time to thank them for their soups. their wonderfully delicious bread(the reason I can’t keep on my carb free diet), and their online ordering when I’m to lazy to go there so my boyfriend could just pick it up. Panera, you are a great friend, I would say I love you but I think thats going a little far. Thank you for the supply of your creamy delicious(cheap) tomato soup.

It was raining and I had an urge for some soup with some constraints, I didn’t want to get out of my car. Well drive through was the only option(unless your mama is making soup for you in the backseat). I like chicken wild rice soup from Panera so I decided to chase that through drive thru. I was thinking it will take a long time to get my food, and I was willing to accept that fate for the delicious chicken wild rice soup. But Wait !!! I had about 6 cars in front of me and they are moving pretty fast. It maybe took about 2⁄3 minutes before I was able to place my order and another minute before I received it. Wow!!! Cool. Soup is still hot and I am happy. My sandwich was great, I had proper utensils in my my bag with couple of extra napkin(Yes, hear that Subway? few extra napkin). I am definitely going back on their drive thru when it rains again and I want some soup(let mom relax and put her feet up for a change).

I don’t like to admit that I like a chain. I would prefer you all to think I’m some sophisticated university graduate who only orders the finest high quality goods and never drops a crumb on my scarf… I’m totally pulling that off, right? Yeah that’s a crock. I have a love hate relationship with Panera. I love this one and hate all the others I have been to. This particular Panera is nicely laid out and is always clean(sans after a lunch rush when things have gotten backed up). The people who work here are always nice and patient with my indecision. The food always comes out pretty quick and I can always find a good window seat. I have a weird obsession with soup and Panini’s. I could eat it 4 days a week and be happy. Panera serves it’s purpose in this case and I am usually pleased with what I order. Soup and sandwiches aside, most other things I have ordered have been okay except for the new pasta dishes. They have been mediocre at best and I would never order one again. The baked goods have been stellar on the couple occasions I have had them. By couple I literally mean two. I don’t order sweets and I hardly enjoy them if I do. But the bear claw with almond filling is the perfect balance between sweet and breading. It’s wonderful dipped in a hot cup of coffee which is usually my beverage of choice when I go out for café style food. Now, don’t get my wrong, I have had a couple bad experiences here. One with an absent staff who let us order before she told us the kitchen was closed and other times where the food wasn’t up to par. But what makes this place worth it anyway is that I have had much worse experiences at more expensive places with ruder staff. I don’t ever expect ANY place to be a perfect experience every single time I go there because it’s an unrealistic expectation. That being said, this Panera is great for picking up a quick relaxing lunch during your shopping break, especially during the holidays, because like another reviewer said, it’s surrounded by stores. I’m a fan. But only of this one.

Always a good food and drink experience here. The Internet connection is free and fast.(Yes, that does mean you will see a lot of hipsters on laptops there but we cannot blame Panera for that.) The only complaint is the people at the cash registers always seem new and a little confused.(Perhaps distracted by all the hipsters? I dunno.)

Food is fresh. Line moves slow. Sandwiches and sides left out of to go bag.

Great place for coffee, breakfast, lunch or snacks. Good location for shoppers with low blood sugar… many big box stores in area. Parking is easy, thanks to large lots, but beware of fast SUVs trying to get around, going from shop to shop. Nice folks here. Pretty good service. More good experiences than bad.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? I love the free wifi and the atmosphere is nice and calming. My personal favorite is the Ham and Swiss soufflé…the French Toast Bagel is kind of awesome as well. Overall nice place to surf the net, write a few Unilocal reviews and sip on unlimited coffee!

Love the breakfast power sandwich. Low calorie and full of flavor. Really nice people working here and obviously a popular hangout for the local breakfast crowd. Panera Card is a nice deal. Monthly free stuff!

Love the new Panera rewards card, you get an insane amount of free goodies! This location gets really packed during lunch time. However, if you have enough patience to wait, the service is friendly and wi-fi works about 90% of the time, which I guess is a pretty good rate for a public provider.

I really enjoy going here to «work» before work. Free wi-fi and food is good. Reasonable price.

Stopped in here on a Saturday afternoon. The place needed the trash removed and the tables cleaned but there was plenty of seating and we got through the line quickly. They had run out of the turkey for the panini I ordered. That was a new one to me. I had never been to a Panera where they were out of something. Maybe I have just been lucky? I ended up getting two half sandwiches in the Panini menu — YUM! They were very good. I almost always get a turkey bravo — so this was really branching out for me. Glad I did! I will most certainly be back here and I look forward to trying another new sandwich.

When it comes to fast food made healthy no one comes close to Panera Bread. My favorite place to take my daughter and have a lunch date. Nothing is better then knowing that what ever you order it will be made fresh and taste that should be world renowned.
