    They were out of all bread except for white bread, which was pretty disappointing. I got the turkey club sandwich and all the other ingredients were very good. The avocado was creamy and the bacon was crispy. Clean bathrooms and plenty of indoor seating.

    Service is going downhill. Can’t get simple food orders correct. Hats are supposed to be worn on the line while serving food. Witnessed first hand employees laughing in the managers face after having to remind them of company policies. Clean it up Panera!

    Delicious food. Friendly staff. Nice relaxing atmosphere. This is one of the places I used to come to when I worked at the Target store in front of them. I will miss the comfortable ambiance they had. Sincerely, Krissy.

    Food is great for the price. Panera is an amazing fast food chain. This location just does not have the employees. I warn against going during a lunch rush you will wait 30 or more minutes for your food. Service is still great though, very nice cashiers. there is often only one of them so you will have to wait in a line for a bit during a rush

    There's a guy that he treats you like your stupid which he told me where to get my stuff and shoved a cup in my face after I had asked for the cup and there is a lady that was nearby that looked at me like I don't belong here. I come to this location a lot and everytime I'm here they change the location of where to get my baked goods sometimes it's by the bathroom and other times it's by the front door

    They slice and toast a few pieces of bread. I take that with my beverage then sit and enjoy. No tax on to-go food.

    Got a Baja Bowl that was maybe a third cup quinoa/rice, a sprinkle of toppings. Bowl was barely half full. Not worth the money.

    Wow...filthy floors and a $15 sandwich has cold fatty bacon, almost no mayo. The turkey part was good though. Was imagining at least freshly cooked bacon...

    This Panera is friendly and clean. Special mention of dining room worker Julie Ann who made me feel very welcome.

    Ok place for me. Wish they had some plant-based/vegan options. Even the salads are not all plant-based - mandatory chicken with everything. Surprising these days as most places offer vegan or plant-based options on the menu.

    Half way through homework, and we have a delicious Chipper cookie 🍪. Right size for a treat. The staff is very helpful and friendly. W shared a pizza and salad. Food was the right temperature and packed well. Good food for a fair price.

    The worst run Panera yet. We went to get take out. Ordered 3 flatbreads. We had to wait for way too long considering there was nobody ahead of us & the place was 1/2 empty. Folks behind us left.. The kitchen staff (all male Latinos) were busy but they couldn't help us. I saw the manager/owner walk through the back. She saw us waiting there. She didn't realize that I saw her see us. She ignored us. She either runs this Panera & the one in Northgate or she's upgraded to Rowland because the 1st time I had the misfortune of ordering from her was at Northgate; super unpleasant. Anyway, when we got the attention of the young man that was working, yes, just one kid straight out of high school, we know him, he apologized: "I'm a one man show." Eventually he came to us. Good kid, good worker. He even helped us save some $$. At all this the owner woman sits down at a table. She sees us. Nothing, not even a smile. And the other thing about Panera, what's with the sides? Chips, baguette or apple? If you order flatbreads you don't want chips or bread. Most of us can buy our own apples. The flatbreads are consistently good but this time they were slightly undercooked. They forgot to call our name when they were ready. The young man apologized. At all this the owner just sat there, doing nothing to help us.
