      Panera is my go-to during the fall season because of their autumn squash soup! I find every meal at Panera is consistent and filling. I tend to eat at this location with my coworkers a lot since their menu has something for everyone. This location is nice and big but still has a cozy vibe.

      You can order at the register or on a touch pad. The staff was friendly and efficient. My meal came out super fast! This time around I ordered their you pick two deal with the Fuji apple salad and the autumn squash soup with a baguette. I'm a sucker for their baguette. It's always so pillowy soft with a nice crispy exterior. Per usual, my meal was delicious!

      This location delivers exactly what i expect from a panera. Ive ordered both pick-up and dine-in. Food quality has been consistent and love that each food item's nutritional values are available to be viewed. Staff always greet me and the place is clean.

      Panera is always quite disappointing to me. I ordered a baguette online and when I opened it at home, I had to realize that it had pre-cut marks on it. Very disappointing and not inviting for my dinner plans. Also, I am asking myself whether these marks are used as serving size in restaurants - they were all of different sizes... Drinks are ok. Bathroom was clean. My online order of a fountain drink and a baguette took forever and they might have forgotten about it as I had to ask after waiting for 20mins.

      Reviewing this location for a Door Dash Order and I got the Mac & Cheese Bread bowl and a brownie.

      It's all right, though I just prefer the soups

      I have the sip club which is the only positive thing i can say about panera. Ordered the value bundle with half of the chicken sandwich and a soup. Photo of the generously size sandwich included. Requested utensils with the order in the app. I received a fork for my bowl of soup.

      One of the restaurants that will provide best customer service. I absolutely love their broccoli chowder soup, however during autumn, I have to have the Vegetarian Autumn Squash Soup. This time I got a Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt, but realized my sandwich had no avocado, I mentioned it to them and they made a new hot sandwich as I've had it before, they also included a bag of chips with it. It is a bummer that they have been out of fresh fruit for a while. The restaurant is located in a shopping center which provides many parking spots. Inside is spacious and perfect for large groups and family gatherings as they provide a rectangular table that can seat 10-12 people and other tables that can be moved around to create a larger table.

      Food quality has deteriorated significantly. Bowls used to be full. This one was half empty and not well balanced. Significantly different from the photo. Delivered product with 25% of arugula.

      Mediterranean bowl, portion controlled. Can see different sized ice cream shaped scoops of hummus, yogurt, tahini. Weight controlled portions of Quinoa, arugula. Weight control is fine but the final product was not well balanced. Final product half bowl full which meant it was missing large volume of arugula. Had to eat mouthfuls of pure hummus and tahini to finish the meal. Not a pleasant experience for the price.

      15$ for warm salad which was essentially filler with hummus, yogurt, tahini to make profit. Cost of goods around 3$. no meat. Limited portion size of arugula and quinoa for profit maximization.

      Obscene. Should have known to avoid. Learned lesson the hard way again. Waiting for car to charge. Now I know why I am the only one eating. Everybody else waits in their car.

      All about profit and stock price. Can see how they have a 300$ stock price.

      IMHO
      I've always liked Panera Bread. This visit I had to take away a star rating.

      I ordered the U pic 2 special; My choice of a 1/2 tuna sandwich and a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup. If you look at the picture I posted, you can barely see any tuna in the sandwich. I was disappointed in the small amount of tuna but the sandwich was still tasty. The Broccoli cheddar soup was good but not hot, only lukewarm.

      My friend's sandwich was missing arugula, so she brought it back. They made the correct sandwich and gave her a chocolate chip cookie treat for her trouble.

      Service was friendly and helpful as always. Thank you Daisy! Will I go back? Of course.

      My family loves some Panera! Our typical choice after church on Sundays is here! Staff is always welcoming & gives great service and quality food! We had a small mistake in our order once and they replaced it with no issues! It's usually busy but enough room to still have a relaxing meal. They were under construction last time we came so dine in wasn't an option, but we cant wait to be back when they are complete!
