Jennifer, who works there, is very rude and impolite, providing zero customer service. I have had a Sip Club membership at Panera for years, ordering coffee and food every day. The other day, I ordered a coffee through the kiosk, received my cup, and then asked Jennifer to check my reward. While I was filling my coffee, she loudly across the cafe that you have to pay for your coffee, in a very rude manner. I explained to her that I have an Sip Club and come here every day. She raised her voice and said, ‘No, you don’t.’ Finally, one of the staff members came and explained to her that I placed my order and have it. She didn’t apologize and continued to be rude. Zero customer service. I am so sorry for the poor behavior and customer service.

Solid value duet for $8.99, tomato soup, baguette, and a mediterranean half sandwich is about as healthy as it gets at a restaurant.

If you’re reading this and your food arrived late, the main reason is the staff working here. Even when the order is ready, they don’t hand it over and they make things difficult for DoorDash drivers who come to pick it up. As a result, your food gets delayed because of them.
In addition, they clearly show a lack of trust toward both DoorDash drivers assigned by the system and independent drivers like me. Every single time, they insist on confirmation before handing over the order. However, the bags are sealed, so we cannot see what’s inside, and we are forced to accept and deliver items we cannot verify because they keep insisting on confirmation.
If something is missing from your order, it is not the fault of the DoorDash driver or the person delivering your food. It is because the staff failed to put all the items in the bag. For missing items, you should not blame the DoorDash driver — you need to deal directly with the staff at this location, specifically the people working at Panera Bread.
That’s why I’m rating the staff accordingly.

I had a very humiliating experience here as a DoorDash courier. The woman at the pickup counter (wearing glasses) refused to give me the order unless I loudly read the customer’s name out in front of everyone. I found that disrespectful and unnecessary — I showed the order on my phone like we always do. She kept insisting, speaking to me in a condescending tone, and ultimately denied me the pickup.
Couriers are partners in your business, not people to be publicly tested or embarrassed. This was unprofessional, degrading, and a complete waste of my time. I expect basic respect when I come to do my job. Very disappointing service.

I love the food! Being a member you get free drinks and with the You Pick 2, your tummy will be happy! The Mac n cheese or tomato soup is one of my favorites! The people at this location are friendly and asked if I needed help multiple times.

Very yummy and fresh! Tried the new buffalo chicken baguette with a side of caesar salad and it was pretty good, much bigger than I thought. The chicken avocado sandwich, mac and cheese, and candy cookie are my favorite tasting items to order at Panera.

The manager at this Panera is ON. I have been to many Panera’a and this is the most motivated hands on manager I have ever seen. Have seen him take over all facets of the business, front counter, chef, line, tables. This place is clean, calm and quick food. The only suggestion is fix the tuna please. I know you can do better. Thank you

The food isn’t terrible, but the portion sizes for what we ordered are relatively sad for their price. A pick 2 combo for almost 15 dollars is the plate for the grilled cheese, and the salad was fine to mediocre at best. Under seasoned, with some cold parts and others burnt. Almost feels microwaved like others have said.
Now, that’s not what causes me to write the review. The team leader, Alfonso, is the reason I decided to write one. He seemed serious, unenergetic and somewhat troubled by the fact that we even came in at all. As me and my sister waited to order, we were talking and he gave us dirty looks, pressuring us to order. While ordering, he just kept the talk to a minimal, not even asking what I wanted for my side, or if I wanted a drink, or anything. When we went to pay cash (although it was a $100 bill I understand), he asked if we had change because he didn’t have any. I ended up paying with card since I didn’t want to bother.
Honestly, microwaved dinners and poor management makes this place a bummer. The music just makes it feel like a doctors waiting room. Avoid this place, and beware of Alfonso if you want to have a good day.

Matthew Garcia is my favorite employee at this establishment. One time, I went on a date here and she didn’t actually finish her food but Matthew made my food and it was absolutely delicious. Service was quick, and costs were really good even though I paid for 2 meals. Would bring a date here again as long as she finishes her food and Matthew makes the food

We love this Panera Bread location and my husband and I eat here about once a week. It is always clean and you are always greeted upon entering. There are plenty of tables inside and outside, we like having the options. Our food is always so good and we feel that you get very good size portions. One of my favorite things is how easy it is too order through the app and the customizations you can do. We appreciate you all and see you soon! =)
