Strawberry poppyseed salad is fantastic! Green power smoothie is great too. However, the parking is a catastrophe during holidays...

Standard Panera food, nice staff and relatively plentiful and clean seating. Wi-fi works well. The bathrooms tend to be messy though.

This panera is a nice joint to grab a bite with friends or study at. I've done both here. They have a good number of outlets and lots of coffee to fuel the students. Their food options are pricey and for that reason I'll eat elsewhere. Sometimes parking may be a pain.

I like the new Asian broth bowls. The soba noodle with edamame is a great new option for vegetarians.

I love Panera. It's like my go to place when I'm not impressed with the more local choices. Staying in the Hilton it was ideal for brunch/dinner. I admit I overdid it a little but... The tomato soup!!! I'll always keep coming back. The YP2 is epic and fills you right up!

We waited forever for oatmeal. The rest of the food was sitting on the counter while several others were around our food. It was sad to watch many others that came in significantly after us. When we got our food the other food was cold. Very disappointing.

Pros: Short lines, friendly staff, large dining area Cons: lots of dirty tables This is a standard issue Panera Bread in terms of menu and food quality.

Panera has pretty good food! They specialize in fresh baked goods including bagels, breads, pastries, and other sweet breads. Panera also has great soups, salads, and sandwiches. The upside: QUALITY - I feel like Panera is a step above other fast food restaurants in terms of food quality. The ingredients aren't frozen and full of preservatives. I love the fuji apple chicken salad and french onion soup! EFFICIENCY - another impressive thing about Panera is the efficiency with which they handle customers. I've seen lines of customers extending nearly out the door during peak hours, yet the wait time remains relatively short. The downside: PRICE - Panera is twice as expensive as other fast food places. PARKING - the parking is a nightmare. I can't stress this enough - you literally cant find a parking spot during lunch hours. Several other businesses located in the same shopping plaza are vacant and I strongly suspect that's due to the lack of parking. Overall, I like Panera! It fills a niche that exists somewhere between fast-food and sit-down dining by providing freshly made soups, salads, and sandwiches made to order at fast pace. Your experience will be best if you dine before or after the noon rush.

I like Panera. Their food is good and it's a decent place to sit and get some work done. My only issue with this chain is that their prices are kinda high. Think Starbucks of the sandwich world. However, it is a decent place to go to eat while you do work or to meet up with a group of people for lunch. The workers here were always friendly and helpful. It can get busy during the lunch rush. During that time it can be very difficult to find a spot in the crappy parking lot that they share with all the other businesses there. You will likely have to loop around several times before you catch someone leaving and can take their spot. During lunch it can also be tough to find a table, especially if you are meeting up with a group of people.

We stopped at this Panera on our way to Purdue University. We went there for breakfast! Normally we stop at Panera Breads for lunch. I have favorites items that I love at Panera. So, breakfast at Panera was new to us. I ordered the Spinach artichoke souffle, and split a bear claw sweet roll with my son. Both were great! They also always have very fresh and tasty coffee. I definitely recommend Panera bread for breakfast stops, now! We'll be back. One drawback, however, might be the temptation of ordering more food than you need, just because it looks and tastes so good!

A lovely place to drop in for some heart-warming cafe food on a cold winter evening or just to sit outside and enjoy a sunny summer afternoon. If the sandwiches, soup or coffee aren't enough, buy a fresh baguette or croissant to savor at home. I had the steak & white cheddar cheese on a baguette with a cup of coffee (unlimited refills for the dine-in version). The sandwich was fair (the baguette was crusty, just the way I like it) and the horseradish sauce balanced the cheddar and the steak well. Regardless, it was a bit one-note after a while and could have used a side-salad to sparkle the dish (I was offered a side of bread, apple or chops). The service was excellent, and the ambiance, welcoming. I would certainly dine here again.

Panera is one of the best places to grab a good sandwich and some soup. This store is on par with any other Panera I have been so there is not much more to say about it. Good food, decent price and service.

I have never had a bad experience at this Panera. The service is always friendly and the food is always fresh. My favorites are the chicken salad sandwich, the unsweet iced tea, and their mac and cheese. Okay. My favorite is the mac and cheese. I just put the rest of that stuff there because my reviews are probably getting a little repetitive lately with all of my mentions of "mac and cheese." Really, everything is good at Panera, but when you put "Vermont white cheddar macaroni and cheese" in front of me, you can't expect me to focus on anything else. I'm not a big fan of their chai, but that's more a personal preference, I think. Beware that the parking guy out front is pretty on top of giving people tickets (I think we need to find him a hobby).

This place has all I need of a cafe. Good coffee, fresh pastries, a wide sandwich selection, free wireless and a helpful staff that doesnt mind if you stay there all day.

Panera is consistently good, no matter which location I go to, so there's not too much to say about this one in particular. It is usually fairly full, but never so full that you can't find a seat. Even during the busy lunch hour, your food comes up very quickly. The staff is friendly, and the food is delicious. I prefer to dine at local restaurants over national chains, but there are no local places that have sandwiches that are as good as Panera, so I end up eating at Panera about once a week!

Great food but definitely teeters on the over-priced end of the spectrum when compared to their portion size. Also- be sure to get a MyPanera card but keep in mind that any visits before you register your card don't count so register your card online ASAP. And when you do register your card, you get a free dessert on your next visit.
