Got there around 8:45 pm They were not really too busy inside of the store. All I ordered was a you pick to. I waited until 9:15 for my To go order to be ready. As I was waiting in the line buy the pick up for the food. The store manager was telling me there I should not wait over hear and to wait somewhere else. Like really what a grouchy old bat. He was going over everyone’s order with a pen and holding the dinner service up all night. The store need a new manager. This guy was disrespectful and I will never ever spend 1 dollar at panera again.

Completely clueless. If you a quick cup of coffee and a premade pastry you may do ok but all to often the self serve coffee station is out of the coffee flavor you want, or its cold or the milk/cream bottles are empty and you’ll have to wait for them to refill them. Its ok for what it is. The recent push with discounts to use the newly added kiosks to do your own ordering(skipping the $ 15 an hour employees) is annoying.

I absolutely love this panera bread! I love the spinach, mushroom, sofrito it melts in your mouth. Also, the power sandwich is great too! Usually pair those with either an iced skim latte or the infused green tea. :D I go to panera for breakfast more than I should. It is expensive but it’s good quality food so I don’t mind. :) Staff wise: The cashier is always courteous but I’ve never seen her smile. The guy that makes the food is super nice, I forgot to say no tomato in my order so he actually remade it for me without tomato. Usually when I go into this panera there are no crowds which is AWESOME!

When it comes to fast food there is only a few places I’m truly happy eating. Panera Bread is one of those places. The Mediterranean sandwich is my favorite & the turkey chili is to die for. Plus they make some great oatmeal radon cookies. I also love how up to date with technology they are. There app rocks, they have kiosks and everyone that works there are always nice to deal with. Just an amazing experience every time.

This place will not wow you in any way. It’s standard items includes soups, salads, sandwiches, and flat bread wraps. I usually order the half and half that includes a salad and sandwich. I would recommend the Fuji salad and Thai chicken wrap. I do agree that some people say the food is overpriced but its supposed to healthier. Most items healthier are always overpriced right? They also offer pastries to finish your meal with self serve fountain drinks station. Try the green iced tea, it pretty decent. The last time we went here they ran of dinner rolls and didn’t even tell us. The french bread is hard or stale if you want to call it that way. If you dine in they will serve you actual bowls and plates. You just have to clean it yourself by placing them in the provided dish racks. Overall, a decent to grab a quick meal.

Overpriced for soup, salad and sandwiches. The portions are small too. However, I do like their cream of broccoli coup and chicken Cobb salad. You can order your own option at the screens stands or place your order at the over the counter. They have soda fountains so your drinks are refillable. They have microwaves if you want to warm up your food at higher temps. The place is busy during weekends. It seems to be a very popular place for high schoolers. The sitting area needs cleaning. During the few times visiting this place, I noticed no one comes to clean the tables and chairs after customers. Also, the tables or chairs are always moved. This location can definitely use some updates on the furniture and fixtures. The place is located at a strip mall with plenty of parking spaces.

I hate going here. My 7 year old daughter likes going here. She only gets PB&J. While I am left to choose which bland tasteless food I want. Everything is mediocre. Only thing that is decent WAS the Big Kid Grilled Cheese. Which is not on the menu anymore. I wanted to try something new. So I ordered one of the pasta bowls. The pasta was so mushy it resembled Chef Boyardee and didn’t taste much better.

I haven’t ever been here before. So I’m waiting in line before 11 for breakfast. We get to the register at exactly 11:01 and the girl says we can’t serve you breakfast. Well I just spent ten minutes waiting in line for breakfast. Nope nothing they can do. So I opted not to get anything. It’s kind of ridiculous.

I came here with my friend and we had a great lunch here. My soup in bread bowl was just flawless. Sandwichhes and a sald were also good. I have tried a spoon of my friends tomato soup and it was also delish, a bit spicy though. All in a word, food was great. The service was very fast. Our order was ready in a matter of minutesn and the person who was ggetting our order was very nice to us. It was a great experience to have a lunch at this spot.

OK I have been long time delayed at trying a Panera bread. I finally came in here with a couple of girlfriends for an after shopping snack. I ordered some sort of Turkey sandwich(half) and was completely happy. The food was very tasty. The service was fairly pleasant. They even gave me a cup for water without making a face. My friends and I agree that we will be back to this place for gfair prices and good food.

Good quality food, the broccoli cheddar soup is thick but really good, even better in the bread bowl. Free WiFi and lots of drink options, good place to go if your a student. They have a large menu to choose from and occasionally changes seasonally. Great spot to just hang out and relax, if you’re lucky enough you’ll get to sit on the comfortable recliners or booths.

Standard Panera bread with ample parking. I have no idea why employees yell customers names so loud when their food is ready though– it disturbs me while I am eating.

Love their bread and find the staff and management very accommodating. Yes it is a chain and this is a busy location which says a lot. Other chains in this strip mall have failed while this place thrives.

I just had an awesome experience here. I mean Panera is Panera-great stuff, however this Panera is exceptionally accommodating. I came in later on a Sunday(today) for 2 salads one being the shrimp Mediterranean. I put the order in and after a bit(and paying) I was notified they ran out of shrimp and they asked if I wanted chicken or steak. I told them nicely I came for that salad; such a bummer. The young man making it went to the back and requested they cook up some more shrimp fresh. I was very grateful and appreciate a quality worker– Kudos brother — 5 stars for consistency in quality food and now workers :)

This place was rocking Saturday night. Staff were friendly and got orders out timely. Nice and clean facility. They make pre-prepared food look so good. Not my first choice for a group since mostly round tables don’t go well when placed together but we made the most of it.

Nice place to grab a soup and a sandwich or coffee and a dessert. Nothing real spectacular about the sandwiches or the soups, but a nice option when you are looking for something different than the usual fast food fare. Good coffee, wifi and a fireplace too!
