Whenever I indulge in a cheat day from my gluten-free diet, this is the only dish I crave—it’s that delicious! I've never had any issues with our orders. However, I do think they need to pay more attention to cleanliness; the tables could use more frequent wiping, and the bathroom always seems in need of cleaning when I'm there. Other than that, it’s a lovely spot for a quick lunch!

There was no coffee or iced coffee available, tables were dirty with used dishes left behind, trash was scattered both inside and outside, and there were no napkins. Service was slow, and despite three attempts to enter my loyalty number, I didn’t receive any points—someone else must have. It really felt like no one cared about this location or its customers. It’s a shame because a well-managed Panera is a welcoming and enjoyable place.

Typically, there’s only one person at the front, so if you want to avoid a long wait, you can use the kiosks they have set up for ordering.

As usual, not disappointed. I thought there could have been a little more of the chicken salad, but I was surprisingly happy. The selection of tea has grown, I had to try. First the teas then the teas mixed with lemonade. All were excellent! Customer service was great, the food was prepared faster than expected. Five stars on the way! Not my usual location, but I'm sure I'm returning.
