What User likes about Panera Bread:
So yummy and fast pick up service for a dine in mobile order. Everything was perfect. Love the wild rice soup, the chicken noodle soup, the spicy chicken ciabatta dipper, and the chicken bacon ranch sandwich. My kids were so happy with dinner. They eat wholesome, homemade style food that is good for them. So cozy. Love the restaurant atmosphere. Service: Dine in View all feedback.

What User doesn't like about Panera Bread:
Tried going to the drive thru and the employee kept saying “May I help you on repeat”. We could hear other employees laughing in the background. These employees should be reprimanded. We left. I almost went in to talk to the manager but didn’t want to risk getting food after complaining. We won’t be returning to this Panera. Super unwelcoming and disrespectful View all feedback.

Typical Panera. Great soup, friendly staff. I ate there around 1:30pm it wasn't packed and I had my choice of booths. Wish the music was a bit softer. Service:...

If you like quality food on the go or to eat inside with a nice atmosphere this is the place to go.
