Description

While this restaurant boasts fresh pastries and excellent coffee, experiences can vary significantly. Many patrons have encountered issues with incorrect or cold orders, dampening their enthusiasm. However, the friendly staff often compensates for these inconsistencies, with some dishes like the smokehouse barbecue chicken sandwich and onion soup garnering praise. While the management's demeanor may not be as welcoming, the fast service and the restaurant's commitment to cleanliness and fresh ingredients shine through. For those seeking a healthier alternative to fast food, it remains a popular, albeit occasionally flawed, choice.

I was there during lunch, although there was a line, it went fast. my order was taken easy and the waiting time for my order was negligible. if I can't make my own mac and cheese home, panera's white Cheddar-Mac is my way too, even if it comes from a huge bag and sits in a warmer. food: 5/5

Brian the manager is awesome. I worked for him for three days back in 2014 and had to quit due to personal family reasons. This store is very nice. When I worked at the mall I would get a bagel at least 5 days a week and cofee and lunch and even dinner sometimes

The onion soup was delicious, but the steak sandwich was a bit disappointing as the steak was cold and overcooked. It was my first time trying it, so I didn't know what to expect. However, my husband's smokehouse grilled chicken sandwich was delicious, as was his soup. We will definitely order that next time we visit.

I visited this restaurant for lunch. Despite the long line, it moved quickly. I placed my order easily and didn't have to wait long for it to be ready. If I can't replicate Panera's white cheddar mac and cheese at home, I don't mind that it comes from a large bag and is kept warm.

Enjoyed mine but a person in my party had raw chicken in their Chipotle chicken breakfast wrap.
