I LOVE fresh soups so I went to Panera Bread and ordered three different bowls of soup and a cookie for my daughter. Unfortunately I couldn't eat the bread but it smelled amazing. So for my first meal I tried thier broccoli cheese soup. It was really creamy and the broccoli was soft enough for me to eat as well as the carrot slices they put in the soup. I will definitely be ordering this again! So my second meal I had the Tomato Soup wich was also very delicious. It comes with croutons but I wasn't able to try them. I did add a little mild cheddar cheese to the top and perfecto! Last but not least my 3rd meal I has the Summer corn chowder....This was my favorite soup of the three. It was so creamy and flavorful I just really enjoyed it. I will be back for more of that one for sure! Thank you for feeding me great food during a painful situation!

We really value family vibes, and the staff has truly become like family to us after just one visit! The manager is fantastic, and every employee puts in 100% into their work. It's impossible to leave without a smile on your face. The location is also sensory-friendly, featuring soft lighting. During quiet hours, the atmosphere is calm and peaceful, making it a wonderful spot for anyone with mild sensory sensitivities, anxiety, or those who have trouble in noisy environments. We’ve definitely found our new favorite place, our home away from home.

Their salads and hot bowls are delicious, and my favorite dish is the Chicken Teriyaki with Quinoa. I do wish they had a wider variety of gluten-free items available each year. In the fall, I can't get enough of their amazing squash soup—it's a must-try!

After my first visit, I was impressed by the great rapport the manager, Hannah, has with her team. It's a wonderful environment, especially for those with sensory sensitivities, and if you visit outside of peak hours, the experience is even better. The staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed promptly and efficiently. I adore this place and will definitely be back!

I tried the "everything" bagel and if you don't like the taste of the onion, don't buy it because the onion flavor overrides all the others. The Orange Scones are delicious, they look hard, but they are not. The decorated sugar cookies are super soft, not hard. But the taste is not so sweet.
