Panera is a real mixed bag for me. I often come here for lunch, and have tried most of the menu at least once. The signature sandwiches and paninis are always incredibly good, and when you order a baguette with it you're guaranteed to leave full. Or opt for an apple for a less carbohydrate intense choice. The non-signature items are very good too, and on a gray rainy or snowy day nothing hits the spot like the clam chowder served in a bread bowl. The building is always clean, and exudes an urban sophistication that feels awkward in the middle of this upscale suburban area. The staff have always been overwhelmingly friendly, and the manager acts like you're the star member at a country club. Flattering, but to a penniless youngster to myself it feels a bit off. More power to those that enjoy unduly lavished obsequiousness, though. The real issue is the music they play. In order to really get that nose-in-the-air attitude, Panera pipes brisk classical music through the sound system which not only feels forced but gives me a headache as I eat. And I even like the classical genre! Also, Panera is viciously expensive but the quality of the food makes it an acceptable hit to your wallet. Expect to dish out $7-9 for a casual lunch, though that's getting to be standard these days. There's also an adjoining bakery which I've ordered bagels from a few times, but nothing notable, though the desserts that they prominently display on raised platforms look awfully good. Oh yeah, and expect this place to be flooded with privileged middle and high schoolers and demanding and wealthy locals.

I feel weird reviewing a chain because I rarely do that. However, this Panera gets five stars for several reasons. 1) You can actually park there 2) Even during the lunch "rush," you don't have to wait more than a couple minutes to order 3) If you have lazy ass entitled coworkers who don't want to go get their food, they will actually bring it to you. Ridiculous in my book but it silenced those annoying diva men. I was fully prepared to smother them with a pillow and put their bodies in a plastic bin buried deep in the mountains but Panera saved the day. Who else can say that? Oh, and their mac & cheese is bomb. Thanks for everything, Panera.

ok so I said I would check out other paneras. I was in this area and stopped by for a snack. The service was really great, and they were flexible with the coupons I had. I recommend this location. Pretty busy during lunch hour but I saw a few corporate esque meetings ongoing here.

Pretty good place to eat. Gets busy weekdays for lunch due to the location near DTC. Super busy Saturday mornings with many neighborhood folks meeting each other for coffee and pastries. VERY busy friday afternoons with the middle school kids who pack the place, but I'm happy to see kids hanging at Panera Bread and not on a street corner somewhere. I appreciate that this business doesn't try to keep them away. The staff handles it well and a police officer is always around to keep things in line. Whose kid wants to hang out at Panera Bread anyway? Good for them for hanging out over a bowl of soup rather than causing mischief somewhere. Food is always good, staff is friendly. I love this place - its' a neighborhood hang out!

Panera always reminds me of my college days cause it was one of my go to places in boulder with friends. This location is very spacious and it definitely gets busy during lunch hours! Their broccoli cheddar was what hooked me years ago and it's still my favorite of all time! So if you're not counting calories, get it!!!

Service is always prompt. The place is fairly clean. The chipotle panini paired with either the brocoli cheddar or tomato soup is my go to.

I use this location's rapid pick up feature quite frequently. This feature is great but I do have one complaint - the size of the dressing they put on the side. The last few times I have ordered, the dressing they give on the side doesn't even half way fill up the container. I am basically eating raw kale right now. I don't like to douse my salads in dressing, but the amount they gave wouldn't even dress 1/4 of this salad.

I go here a lot for lunch, I work down the street. Weekdays its super busy at lunch time but the usually have enough staff to keep the line moving. I usually get a bowl of soup or a half sandwich/half soup combo. 90% of the time my food is perfect. Ive had burned baguettes a few times. I don't believe they have wifi, one of the employees blankly looked at me like i was crazy for asking and she said no. If they had wifi they would get that 5th star. But overall i think this place is great for lunch.

Ashley H.
Pretty much the same as the others. nothing bad has happened to me here and nothing super OMG amazing. The staff is pretty nice and the food is consistently decent. good place to grab lunch if you work near by. also the best time to come in my book is the end of the day when they are about to close because they often just hand out free baked goods.

This is a big and pretty busy Panera. I've been here a couple of times and it's been almost packed each time. It's really just your average Panera Bread. I like the sandwiches and salads they have (and the combos of both). The service has always been pretty friendly, no complaints from me.

You know what truly pains me? Giving a bad review to a place I am always happy to go to and really LOVE. Unfortunately I have to do that today. I had the worst experience at Panera on this day. Let me just say, I've worked in the food industry, I am always very polite and understand when people are busy. The service was horrific - from going to remind them they left the baguette off my salad order to him slapping that piece of bread ON THE COUNTER (no plate, nothing) in front of me. Ok, I kinda shook my head a little and let it go. Then looking for the butter - I had to stand there longer, with my toddler running across the store starving, and wait for him to acknowledge me again, when he did he acted like I was inconveniencing him. Asking for a to go box was just as painful. I guess I never thought that I would actually put someone out so badly, I thought I was just asking normal questions. Let's talk about the kids meal. $4 for two slices of super thick bread, with ONE slice of meat on it, one slice of american cheese and a go-gurt. That's it. The picture portrays the sandwich (it looks way worse in person) without the cheese (my son dove right into it). Not a real good healthy value I guess. Anyway, it sucks to have to write this, as it is the last thing I want to do.

I enjoy going here on Saturday's and Sunday's for a quick breakfast mid lunch snack. It is just like all the other Panera's and has decent setting. The employees are always real nice. Love their french onion soup in a bread bowl. Do no go here on Fridays from like 2:00 to 5:00 because the middle school kids from the school down the street hang out here. And I don't mean like 4or 5 kids come here after school but more like 40-50 kids come here after school. And it gets loud. I like their pastry's, bagels and hot chocolate. They have a rewards card which gives you okay rewards like after you have spent 20 bucks a $1.00 of a drink Wooo hooo. So I have that to look forward to.

Holy gosh. Who cleans this place? Nobody, that's who. I walked in to this place for a bread bowl soup with one of my friends and was so turned off by the state the dining room was in. Wow. I could understand if there was a large high-school sports team departing, but it was left unattended to for the duration of my meal. I'm not going to rate this place a one star because of it, as the lady that took my order and the one that made it were super-friendly and also because my soup was dang tasty. Broccoli cheese soup in a bread bowl. Yummers. Their sandwiches leave something to be desired...namely a lower price. I got a basic roast beef sandwich meal and it set me back nine dollars. Maybe the people that live around this location can afford that; I can't. My wallet cried a little as I walked away from the register. I'm not stingy, but for that amount of money I expected a little more than what I got. I'll return, I suppose. I don't have any real reason not to. Onto every carpet a little debris must fall. It's in a pretty, little shopping center with a supermarket. Hah, eat something here before you walk through those grocery aisles so you don't load your cart with unnecessary snack foods.

I visit this place all the time, I heart Panera bread. Here is what I think... FOOD: Although this place is just sandwiches and/or fast food, it is excellent for me after a workout or lunch time during the week. I like the pick two combo, so I can get half of a sandwich and soup. SERVICE: The service has always been great at this location. They are friendly and will answer any questions that you have. However, some of them do forget to as you about your rewards card...so be sure to have it out each time. VENUE: I've never actually eaten in at this venue, but I do get stuff to go...so I have to go inside. It's always clean, but it seems to always be warm. I think that may be the location and all of the windows. OVERALL: Overall, it's close to work...I enjoy the food, so I will be back.

In my mind, I always read the sign as "Pantera Bread" and expect all the employees to have growly voices like Phil Anselmo, or see something like a "Dimebag Special" on the menu. While it's a bit pricey for my usual lunch budget (a decent meal will run you about 9-10 bucks), sometimes I like to splurge and get one of their 1/2 sandwich and salad meals. Their paninis are generally excellent, but my new favorite is the "Mt. Fuji Apple Salad with chicken". Or at least I think that's what it's called. The thing is a meal in its own right, so in this case the 1/2 sandwich is almost too much. Each sandwich or meal comes with your choice of either a baguette or fruit. This location is fairly popular among the DTC lunch crowd; due to its nice interior and free wi-fi access. For this reason, I'd recommend dropping by for a weekday lunch at 1pm at the earliest. It's still pretty busy around 1, but from 11:30 -12:30 the place is packed.

We have made two orders from Panera Bread this week. Both have come with sandwiches that are unlabeled! Did you hear that! They gave us FIFTEEN UNLABELED SANDWICHES for us to sort out. Asinine, I know. The worst part: when we called and spoke with the general manager his answer as to why they do this is "we have always done it this way, it is company policy." He gave the very worst possible answer for any question in business. That answer should be banned from the vocabulary of any business. We will not be ordering from Panera Bread anymore if they are going to be that lazy. I gave them a two because the sandwich is decent (not amazing) but the mental thought process that occurs there is minimal at best.

I found this place while on a business trip driving around looking for coffee and a pastry. I thought the breakfast breads were great. They had some pretty awesome bagels and sweet breads. I went with a cinamon raisin bagel toasted with cream cheese which was great. The coffee was just ok, I hate when coffee is luke warm. The lunch menu looked pretty interesting but didn't have time to return to try it.

I very reluctantly write this review. My husband come here around dinner time mostly and they are ALWAYS out of bread bowls. Today we came at lunch. This location needs to get its act together. The staff is very friendly and helpful however, Bread bowls are one of Panera's most popular items. You would think they would learn and make more. Oh well. This is the last time we will come here because this is the third time this has happened in a row.
