Ordered Panera online with free delivery no promo code needed. Was informed the potato chips were sold out when adding the chipotle chicken avocado melt to the cart so decided to upgrade my choice of side to the tomato basil cucumber salad (+$2.19) and also got a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup (for nearly $8 I expected the bowl to be filled to the top) the food was overall good however it left a defeating after-taste that this $30 meal was half missing other than the sandwich. Also, the bag was not sealed with a sticker as is usually done with online orders from my past experiences with Panera so this was a little iffy.

Good location. Fast service. Food quality is standard for a Panera Bread. Coffee is really good. Ordering on the app and pickup at the store is smooth and efficient

The manager (I think) is super nice here! I ordered a self serve coffee and they happened to notice the brew I was getting was about to be replaced with a fresher pot. I just thought it was kind of them to say something and it only took a few extra minutes!

Stopped in for lunch with my wife and daughter...not my favorite place to eat. After looking at the menu I was pleasantly surprised at all the new items. I ended up ordering Chicken & Pepperoni Mozzarella Melt - Stacked Toasted Baguette...really good sandwich. I thought it would be a six inch so I ordered Mac and cheese. The sandwich is more like ten inches and was very filling...but I had to eat the Mac and cheese too because it was so very tasty. I was very happy with my lunch and will definitely go back again! Good job Panera!

Your steak & wake sandwiches are delicious, but you should put a little more meat in them cause the sandwiches are mostly bread. Thank you

Love, love, love this place for breakfast. My boyfriend and I go here sometimes when we want a break from cooking. The portions are a good size and the food always tastes great! They are also very conscious of food allergies, which my boyfriend and I appreciate.

The service at this Panera Bread location is excellent! I've never had any issues at all. The food is always good. It's always very clean, and there is plenty of lighting. It also has a decent number of outlets if you need a charge for a laptop or something similar. Great place to get some work done or meet up with someone!

I come here pretty much every day on lunch break and have to say I am always ALWAYS satisfied. The manager there is the sweetest person you will ever meet so props to you! I can see that you work so hard to satisfy your customers and it shows. I think her name is Tiphanie but wow you deserve a promotion more than anything. Thank you Tiphanie for making my experience at panera better and better each day!
