This location is super convenient for me to grab a quick bite after work. I was dining solo before meeting up with a friend, so I brought a book to read while I ate. I wasn't sure how the noise level would be at that time of day, but it ended up being pretty low even though it was a little busy. Lots of people on laptops or reading the newspaper. A lot of the seating was open so I had my pick on tables. When I arrived there was a worker at the counter taking a phone order. A line was forming behind me so thankfully another employee opened the bakery register to take food orders. I ordered a Pick Two with a BBQ Chicken Salad and a Sierra Turkey sandwich - the employee didn't ask what side I would like, and I forgot to mention it, so I received a loaf of bread....with my sandwich. I took it home to enjoy later, no big deal. The salad and sandwich were delicious as always, tasted very fresh. I love the size of the Pick Two salads, they are big! But they should be for the price you pay. My sandwich was small, in comparison to how big they used to be, but it ended up being more than enough food. All of the tables were clean on my visit, and dishes were taken up quickly. The restaurant was tidy, and most of the workers I encountered were friendly.

Okay, I am in all honesty rating Panera's Rapid Pick Up ordering system. This brain child is not yet spoiled by the ill will of our society. It is completely based on the honor system. Yikes! The deal is you order online or on your phone and pay with your card. Your order is filled and will be waiting for you at the entrance of the store. You don't have to wait in any line or check out with anyone. Fabulous. I placed my order from my phone at the stop light. Don't judge, I have until November before it is illegal. I parked my car, glanced at the line of 8 cars waiting in the drive thru and had pity on them because I just opened the door, grabbed my bag and was out before the SUV in line had even advanced one bit. I yelled, "See yah suckas!" Truthfully, I didn't. But I should have because I won. TIP-sign up for the my rewards card by entering your email. They give you TONs of monthly freebies. I am currently enjoying free daily coffee all of July and I just got $5 off of my grab and go order! Love!

Yeah... This is a pretty standard Panera, but I like this location because it is in a central area. I have always had sweet faces greeting me and reminding me of the 99cent treat with my purchase of entree and beverage. The food is always impeccably made and I can safely say everything looks exactly, if not better than the picture on the menu. I have also ordered several items and paid over the phone. I asked if they would deliver the order to my daughter's school (a few blocks away) and they gladly agreed.

Came here knowing they did sweet stuff but didn't know they did sandwiches and soups...Have always eaten their cinnamon crunch bagels (which are amazing) but never any sandwiches or anything until now...Didn't care too much for their sandwiches because there was nothing different from what i make at home, but i did like their broccoli cheese soup. The cashier wasn't nice at all, after she asked if we were ready my fiance told her were new so were trying to figure out the menu she said "oh ok" and didn't offer to help us or give us any kind of knowledge at all...which usually if you see a couple or someone who is new and having a hard time being confused it would make you want to ask them if they have any questions or give them a little low down on how it works but NOPE not her she could of cared less so really i'm rating it 3 stars because the only good thing about panera other then their soup is all their sweets!

I'm not familiar with the Panera Chain but this was fine as far as I'm concerned. The food was good, though from the kudos I've heard, it fell short of what may be par. Overall, for price and venue, it was pretty good!

Parking! is always a problem here! Food is reasonable and fast! I like the idea of them having a lobby person cleaning tables full time!! For to many years now people have cleaned off their own tables only to INSURE THE NEXT TIME YOU WILL SIT DOWN AT A DIRTY TABLE!!

I agree with some previous comments about the cleaning of tables but I guess that's bound to happen during peak hours. I'm a huge fan of their bread bowl and broccoli cheddar soup as well as their quiches. I love that they have Tabasco. Their chai is great and the pastries are also delicious, especially their chocolate croissants.

Was not impressed by this Panera and I have been to quite a few. So, here are a couple reasons. They must of thought I was some weird YOUTHS person, being 30 years old. I ordered clearly but they kept asking me to repeat myself. Maybe the person behind the counter just wasn't getting it or something. I have a theatre degree, I know how to annunciate and project. It wasn't just that they couldn't hear me, because they couldn't hear me they just turned to my wife and started talking with her, and then we had some weird in between going on...it was weird. The other sad thing was that my ceasar salad was not quite up to roman standards if you know what I mean. The croutons were stale...I thought that was pretty hard to do but evidently they were, I think they were left in the refrigerator too long or something, because my whole salad tasted like that. Its whatever, I choose not to complain because I was in more of a hurry than I wanted to be. The rest of my family had a lovely experience so, its not a total wash.

So Dea and I went here with her mom to get some yummy sweets and she gave us a gift card so we cold try something at a later time. So we went the other night and first the menu is kinda like reading that set of instructions that is in a foreign language. The over all experience was nice just cause it was quite and they have free wi-fi. But the price for the size of food you get is a little bit pricey. I could get a better sandwich at schlotzsky's for half the price.

This is not a great Panera location, I go to Panera all the time in almost every town I'm in but the staff didn't seem familiar with what they offer enough to be able to answer even simple questions. When I get coffee drinks in the morning I try and go with soy milk or almond milk and sugar free flavoring options. The two girls running the cash register had no idea if they had EITHER of those things in stock. They had to go back and ask a woman who I am pretty sure was their manager just to find out. It then took FOREVER for the girl to figure out how to ring it up, meanwhile I'm waiting and trying to get in and out of here quickly so I can get to my office on time. Once they figure out how to ring up my relatively uncomplicated latte I ask for their steel cut oatmeal, the girl stares at me dumbfounded as I read DIRECTLY off the menu. "What was that?" ... "Steel cut oatmeal". "Oh, you want OATMEAL?" She acted like she was correcting me when it says steel cut oatmeal on the menu board right behind her. Ugh. Finally I pay and wait, and wait, and wait for them to figure out how to make my latte and to finally make my oatmeal. The latte ended up being pretty good (seeing as how it took 3 people to make it, it should have been) and the oatmeal was tasty but I got a little over an inch of oatmeal in my cup and then a ton of nuts and over an inch of fresh strawberries. I wish I had got more oatmeal since that's what fills me up. Oh well, they cater VERY well for the office here but clearly don't have the same level of competence in store. When they cater I highly recommend their spinach quiche and their yogurt/granola/fresh strawberries.

Panera's Chocolate Duet cookies are one of my weaknesses. I can't resist making a side trip just to grab one of these cookies. The food at Panera also seems to be on the healthier side, which it was rated as one of the healthiest fast food places. It's like a bigger Starbucks with more food options. I will be back for my Chocolate Duet cookies.
