I love this Panera, and I love the rapid pick up option through their app. I ordered my dinner after an evening meeting, drove to this Panera, and the order was complete and waiting on a shelf for me. I cannot recommend this service highly enough. Panera's food is great and quick and avoiding the line and waiting is simply amazing. I am moving closer to Shawnee Mission Pkwy in the next week. This Panera location will be getting lots of business from me in the near future. I also love how your purchases are automatically added to your my panera account through the app.

Panera you are usually so good to me, but today you disappoint. I came here to grab lunch for my work. I wasn't getting food for myself, but since I was here anyway I figured I'd treat myself to a latte. After I ordered for everyone I asked and the cashier told me the latte machine was down. No! I asked about cappuccinos or anything and she said they have no hot drinks only plain coffee. Pass. She said it went down right before lunch so I am still giving them 3 stars, but I now have no latte. Sad.

The food and coffee drinks are great, and the pastries are pretty good. But the reason for my rating is because, i wish they would put more Icing on their pastries and cinnamon rolls. There is barely any icing on the pastries or scones. We always ask for them to put more on them next time. But always disapointed. How much does it cost to make more icing?

8 of us made happy plates! The food is five star. Service and quality at this location are good. It must be the slight sting of sticker shock that holds back to four star vote. More specials perhaps?

after a quick wonderscope visit last week with hungry kids (their snack machine was out of order) we headed over here for a quick afternoon bite. my son wanted a bagel and she asked me if I wanted it sliced the normal way or in the bread slicer. the bread slicer? I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was curious. seriously, I thought it was genius. why had I never been asked that before (or even thought of it). if I had more patience I would slice big bagels like this at home. it allowed both kids (and the adults) to all nosh on the bagel happily, enjoying all of the sweet crunchy stuff on the top of the cinnamon bagel in every bite - no cream cheese needed! for this reason alone, I am definitely now a fan of this Panera location! (plus it's a lot less busy in the late afternoon)

Compared to other Paneras in the KC area, I have to say that this one is the best. I went last week, and the food seemed to be better than at some of the other locations, even though it was the same item. It's also a bigger location, which is nice, because Panera gets crowded around lunchtime, and having to scout out the restaurant like a packed parking lot is less than entertaining. The only problem I had, was the limit of wi-fi time. You are limited to 30 minutes, which I never realized before. I get having a limit, but I specifically ordered extra items so I could sit for awhile and study. I didn't even use the internet to study, just to check my e-mail on my iPod occassionally while I was there. 30 minutes is not a long time to use internet. (I only have an iPod not an iPhone, so I have to have the wi-fi to check e-mail.) That was my only problem, everything else was good.

Well staffed, pretty clean, and a little more space makes this a nice Panera to go to. I have always liked Panera... they test the hell out or their menu before adding items. So new items are usually awesome. This visit gave me the chance to eat an apple pastry while waiting for my car to be repaired nearby. Delicious puff pastry and apples with just a hint of custard and cinnamon. Panera is no Wheatfields, but they are darn good and easy to find if glorious grains are calling your name!

I like this Panera, it's close to the Guy's place so it is a frequent choice for Sunday morning breakfast :-) Service is fast & cheerful, plenty of seating, and the food is always fresh. Coffee-lounge type armchairs in the front, booths & tables in the back. Love the bagels.

I used to love coming to this Panera. It is a couple minutes from my home and it was a great stop for morning coffee. I am from now on changing my routine. The last 3 times I have gone in there have been terrible experiences. Two times in a row, they were out of Hazelnut coffee ( which I am happy to wait for). When they refilled the carafes, the coffee was filled with grounds and tasted like mud. Fine, bad luck and things happen. This last and final stop, I waited 20 minutes to get a cup of coffee. I mean, 20 minutes? I know this seems just like I am impatient but coupled with the terrible previous experiences before have pushed me to no longer frequent this location.

I always enjoy coming here of course. It's one of those places that I actually frequent ALONE in order to have some me time. Don't bother me if you see me here.

Super nice staff. After a looooong lunch meeting that I had to drag my daughter to, she got peckish again and went to get a cookie. The clerk just gave it to her, along with a pastry. No charge or anything!! She said 'it's on the house!' Isn't that crazy?! My kid is pretty cute, I must say, but free food?! That's unheard of! So thanks, Panera! This location has all the standard Panera fare you'd expect. It's bright and cheerful, but the cold drink dispenser area could use some cleaning and organization. And part of the roof was leaking, but that's probably just because it's so hot and humid that it's some liquid condensation. Other than that, no complaints.
