i LOVE this place, the bakery is great, i love there bread and bagels they offer, along with the cookies, food was a little bit pricy, but worth it, wait time was short, it was busy, but that wait time for being that busy is great, credits to those workers back

I just paid almost 13 dollars for a bowl of chili that was smaller than a Campbell soup can. It was not even really good. Every time I order from here I have been disappointed. I'm never coming back. The second time disappointment was enough to realize that the first time was not a fluke. Poor quantity.

Poorly run Panera business. My last visit to this location and I only buy a croissant and a coffee. Pecan braids taste so dry it seems like they are days old? My issue is there never is any coffee in the containers. Always empty and when you tell them no one cares. 10 minutes to have someone bring out coffee. Terrible service.

Bought a souffle this morning that was undercooked... Tried calling three times to give feedback but no one answered the phone around 7:45am. Guess this is the only way to give feedback. ??‍♂️

It's Me

Update: 11.6.23 Had late lunch yesterday, ordered the usual & was disappointed in the Mediterranean Bowl as it had only the slightest sprinkle of quinoa rather than the scoop I'm used to having. Had no dressing on it, though I ordered lemon vinaigrette. Baguette was too hard to tear off a piece, felt like it would've kept my big dog busy chewing for a while!Saw the new signs by the beverages, essentially warning people to be careful with the high caffeine, "charged' lemonades. They are now behind the counter probably to prevent kids from getting hold of them. Our family talked about this about a month ago when we saw kids refilling these high caffeine drinks repeatedly. Certainly Panera is now aware of the allegations that these charged lemonades resulted in the death of a young woman who had a pre-existing heart condition. Maybe Panera does not want to discontinue it because it's probably a good seller since some people love to be wired, and pulling the drinks after this allegation would probably be construed as an acknowledgment that these lemonades are not healthy and could potentially cause illness or death. "Better safe than sorry" in this situation, and we hope that Panera pulls these beverages for good and in their place substitutes several decaffeinated drinks that pose little threat. There will always be someone saying, "Look at all the sugar in that - so dangerous for diabetics!" but there's plenty of sugar at Panera over by the sweets counter, and certainly at nearly every restaurant as well. Restaurants shouldn't have to police their guests, nor should they knowingly serve anything that could cause harm, so we'd support a decision to lose these "charged" drinks now, to preclude Panera being potentially 'charged' with knowingly continuing to serve anything to guests that could endanger their health. That just seems like common sense to us. We enjoy our local Panera most of the time, and hope that this matter is resolved soon. We feel badly for the family of the woman who died - what a tragedy.Really excellent experience at this location today, with slight exception that salad was made with the wrong dressing. That was corrected quickly when we mentioned it to an employee. Portion size was generous, veggies were fresh, salad dressings always awesome. Indoor & outdoor seating available. Takes were very clean, chairs, too. Several people sipping drinks while using WiFi. There's a dedicated meeting room in the back for a small group to convene , which is nice. We felt that having 3 high caffeine content lemonades took away from the healthy aspect of choosing fresh lemonade...saw kids getting these high caffeine drinks, hate to think of how their (& their family's) evening is going to go now! For folks who live on monster drinks & caffeinated coffee, we get it, but 1-2 is sufficient and we'd have appreciated more decaf options, especially since we were there later in the day. Overall, food was delicious & ready very quickly, atmosphere was very comfortable, employees polite and helpful.

It's good. Great bread, soups are good, sandwiches good but it's expensive. Good location and easy access.

Absolutely horrible. I went here TWICE for the same exact order just for them to screw it up. The first time I ordered an everything bagel with plain cream cheese and they messed it up by giving me onion and chive cheese and I didn't even ask for that. Secondly, I came here again for lunch to try again and instead of giving me an everything bagel, they gave me a sesame bagel. I called them and they said they will prepare me another bagel. Once I got there, they said they were out of stock. I was beyond shocked and irritated because they wasted my time by going out when they could've called and said they were out of stock. This was so unacceptable today.

I ordered the half ham sandwich and the Fuji Apple salad. The salad was great but they didn’t put a fork in the bag, of course I didn’t realize that until I was far down the road. I always tip even though I’m just picking up a bag lunch, I always think I will get better service when I tip, maybe it’s time to rethink that.

Our Panera is about 1.5 miles away; we go there often to get the raisin bagel with cheese, wait time depends on number of orders and the order takers are usually nice to me; their coffee is very good
