The young lady at the counter deserves five stars for her friendliness and efficiency. I ordered a bowl of swirl soup and a bowl of chicken noodle soup, which cost me $17.50. While the soups were decent, they lacked sufficient protein. Overall, I believe the portions are small and the prices are quite high for what you get. I won't be returning.

We paid $5.98 for bagels that should have been discarded and never been served to paying customers! Shame on you Panera!

However, there aren’t many gluten-free options on the menu. They serve a variety of sandwiches, soups, salads, and pastries in addition to their bread selection. There are plenty of parking spaces, and the location is easy to find. The large windows allow a lot of natural light. The coffee is excellent, but the new coffee dispensers are frustrating—they tend to spill everywhere and are not user-friendly, especially for those who are vegan. Overall, it was a positive experience, and we will definitely come back.
