This is one of the places I come regularly to study for exams and finals. There are plenty of seating and Free Wifi. However, the wifi can be super slow during rush hours to the point where it's not usable. There's also a 30 minutes wifi limit during rush hours just like any other Panera. Also, there are not many power outlets for charging your laptops and electronic devices. I guess they don't want people to camp there and take up all the seats. The food and coffee here are always of good quality. I ordered a Whole Strawberry Poppyseed & Chicken Salad last time I was here. The salad was HUGE! It was almost as big as my head, and I have a pretty big head. Both the fruits and the meat were fresh in the salad. It came with a nonfat salad dressing, but it still tasted better good! I would say the Whole sized salads can be shared by two people. Overall, I was pretty satisfied with this location. Pros: Good place to meet up with large group Good place to study Good food and coffee + Giant portions Friendly staff Cons: Slow Wifi Lack of power outlets Loud during lunch and dinner hours

I would assume that there is no way to rate a place by zero stars. After going through the drive-through and having the person who hands you your coffee spill it all over you burning your legs and destroying your outfit I don't know how I could even rate this place as even having one star. After having to go back home and apply lidocaine with aloe all over my body from the burning areas I can finally head back to work but in discomfort. Although the food maybe great and the coffee may be better than Starbucks, the service is very much lacking. After speaking with the manager of this location, I was not offered a replacement coffee but was offered a complimentary lunch despite having to drive 8 miles home to shower, get cleaned up, apply burn medication to my legs, and then drive 13 miles back to work arriving late. Now I have to pay to have my clothes dry cleaned. Doesn't sound like a very fair compensation over employee fault.

We frequent this panera regularly. With the fresh coffee and awesome breakfast sandwiches, you can't go wrong. If anything is ever wrong the order- they fix it immediately and with a smile of their faces! The staff really is friendly and patient. The kitchen staff do a wonderful job as well.

Being a Vegetarian of 15 years I live for places like Panera! Their bakery pasteries are always a hit with my family and the soups and salads are fresh and yummers. I love this location a little more than other locations A) because the employees are so pleasant and polite. And B) because they have a drive thru!! Also panera has hands down the BEST iced green tea on this planet! You can thank me later.
This Panera is located close to my house, so whenever I'm in the mood for a filling sandwich on some yummy bread or a nice warm soup and lemonade I come here. I've never had a bad meal here and the service has always been great. The associates are nice and smiling and they are helpful with suggestions. Sign up for the Panera rewards so you can receive coupons and info on new products and special events. Try their cinnamon crunch bagel with cream cheese. The perfect amount of sweet and cheesy goodness. The combination reminds me of quesitos. Yum. Frankly, if you're looking for a decent lunch in the area, this is a good place to stop by.

Ok I had the cobblestone muffin and it was just ok. It seemed to be a day old or just dry. I had to heat it in the microwave wich was under the counter by the coffee, very bad spot. Not to happy this trip.

Had lunch here prior to seeing a client. I saw that they had Thai salad which looked pretty interesting. This location had a drive through as well!! It was raining so I didn't want to bother getting out of my car. The drive through was perfect for me lol. So I got the Thai salad and it was surprisingly very good. A lot of different taste combinations made it a very enjoyable meal. The bread that came with the meal was very hard. I also had the Chai tea latte. That was very good. I enjoyed that very much.

There customer service is awful. Also don't go there expecting them to have what you want, all they have is excuses. They run out of bagels by 9:00. I love Panera Bread but drive out of your way to go to a different location this way you aren't disappointed multiple times.

Nice place! It's super close to my house & I love the convenience of their drive thru! They have amazing bagels, especially the cinnamon crunch bagel, & their soups are divine. I recommend the broccoli cheddar soup! & if you're in a hurry, go through the drive thru!

Panera is my go-to. I stopped into this one while driving all the way up past Jacksonville for a work related road trip. I have to say in comparison to say, DD or Subways - it never makes a difference because they are all the same - Panera is the exact same way - EXCEPT - the employees look like they want to see you. I love having those moments to sit down. Sandwiches are yum, soups hot and fresh, and if you indulge in a red velvet cookie, god bless your soul - its so worth it. I like Panera, they are always fresh, seemingly healthy, but the service and ambiance is open and shiny, relaxed and calm, and clean. So far, in all my travels I haven't been able to point out one bad one. This one though, the staff was really extra nice!

Great place. Fast and amazing service. I always go to this Panera and I've only had one bad experience which wasn't all that bad but I had to wait a very long time for my order and I was the only car there but they offered me a free dessert. The food is bomb! Anything you get will taste amazing and I love how u can choose from chips, apple or bread that come with the meal.

Went here for lunch today and they were super speedy. Only had to wait a few minutes for our food and it was delicious! You can't go wrong with their broccoli cheddar soup!! Bathrooms were clean and someone was there to grab our plates right away. Panera never disappoints!

Ahhh, comfort food. Panera knows just how to make my day with a fabulous PB&J. While it isn't hard to slather some peanut butter on a piece of bread and top it with some jelly, I love that there is always a Panera nearby when I need to relive my childhood. I wish there were more jelly options, but I love that I can choose white or whole grain bread and receive my sandwich in minutes. The salads aren't always as fresh as I'd like, but this is fast food -- I don't expect locally grown greens. The soup menu features an array of low-fat choices, including a nice chicken noodle that once again says comfort food. Panera offers lots of healthy options, but if your sweet tooth is calling, there is surely a scrumptious cinnamon roll or chocolate cookie just waiting to answer. Panera is the perfect place to find feel-good fast food that won't blow your waistline...unless you are like me and can't resist that pile of pastries that only someone with the willpower of a superhero could ignore.

I almost swore off Panera Bread completely after several terrible trips to the Panera in the Town Center. I had become accustomed to unfriendly staff, long wait times, and incorrect orders. I decided to give the store in Arlington a try today and was extremely pleased! The cashier was extremely friendly and our food came out mere minutes after ordering. The food runner even had a pleasant attitude! I will definitely make this my primary Panera from here on out :)

This is a good Panera location. Love the cream of chicken with wild rice soup. It's definitely my favorite item that they sell. My husband loves their red velvet cookies. We also like the bread bowls on a cold day. Haven't been able to find a salad or sandwich that I'm crazy about though.

While I enjoy going to Panera as a whole, don't bother going to this one. Multiple times I've been there and they haven't had what I was looking for. You're better off going to the location at the St John Town's Center. I won't ever be returning to this one because it's just a waste of my time.

Panera on Atlantic blvd is a great location to write at, enjoy coffee, and bask in atmosphere. The service is pretty good, but some of the cashiers appear to be in a bad mood. The bagels are fresh, and the salads are portioned wonderfully. The pastry case has something for everyone!

I am a big fan of Panera Bread. Almost always you can get a dependably fresh and delicious sandwich or salad. Soups are awesome too. The broth bowl that has lentil with chicken is my favorite. I hear that the noodle bowl is not as good though. My favorite breakfast choice is the soufflé with spinach and artichoke. Bagels are great too and as far as beverages, the green tea is delicious but I am not a fan of any of their coffee choices. Mare sure you get the Panera rewards card if you visit here, they actually have really great rewards quite frequently.
