Panera Bread is a welcoming spot that offers exceptional customer service and a great atmosphere. The staff, including the manager and employees like Madison, are friendly, respectful, and kind, making every visitor feel at home. They go above and beyond, as seen when Madison noticed a customer's disappointment and quickly made an iced chai instead of a hot one. The food is consistently great, with a rotating menu offering delicious options, including the popular chicken and wild rice soup for those with special needs. Whether meeting with clients or just looking for a quick bite, Panera Bread is a great choice. Reviewers also appreciate the warm southern kindness shown by the staff, who are always ready to assist with order changes. While there may be occasional mix-ups, such as a wrong sandwich or missing items, the overall experience remains positive, highlighting the delicious food and excellent service. With its great atmosphere and attentive team, this Panera Bread location stands out as a favorite for many visitors.
