The bread was outstanding, and the panini was excellent. I dined in for lunch, and the price per person was between $10 and $20. Overall, I would rate the food a 5, the service a 4, and the atmosphere a 4. I highly recommend trying the French baguette, Bistro French onion soup, and the sourdough bread bowl.

This Panera is above average. The breakfast is excellent, and I highly recommend joining the Sip Club. Overall, I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all at 5 out of 5.

Don 't go here if you 're in school I guess. parked my car, started walking in, made it halfway to the door, and got screamed at by a lady claiming to be a manager. I just wanted some tea after class man. Overall I 'm happy I got my overpriced tea but not so happy I got screamed at by a deranged manager. Just don 't show any signs of going to college If you want to go here I guess. To the manager lady who droves the red SUV: Not cool man, get a grip.

The sandwiches had an overwhelming amount of chipotle sauce, which made them soggy. There wasn't enough meat in them, and the service was quite slow.
