As a thriller and romance author, I often stop at places like Panera Bread when I want something quick but still a step above typical fast food.
When you walk in, there’s a digital ordering kiosk immediately to the right, along with the traditional counter ordering area. The layout makes it easy to place an order however you prefer.
The food here is always excellent and consistent. Panera has a more upscale feel compared to most quick-service restaurants, with fresh soups, sandwiches, and bakery items that make it a solid option for a casual meal.
There are also a few tables outside, which are nice to use when the weather is warm and you want to sit outdoors for a bit.
Overall it’s a convenient and reliable place to grab a good meal while visiting the mall.

The staff is extremely polite and welcoming. The coffee is very good and enjoyable. The place is spacious, clean, and has a premium feel. There is a nice outdoor seating area, and the interior is quite large and comfortable. Restrooms are clean, parking is not an issue, and overall it’s a very pleasant place that I would definitely recommend.

Ordered a kids meal with apple, I was asked if we wanted the apple cut into slices.
We get home and open the container to find OLD brown apples! The cashier was nice and friendly, guy in the back was meh tables were clean, the agave lemonade tasted old and mixed with orange juice or something else it was not good.

Alexis (the manager went above and beyond duty!)
The kitchen staff had omitted an important ingredient earlier that week in our order, however Alexis made up for the error by taking amazing care of us on our next visit.
She’s detailed oriented, friendly but professional and is obviously concerned about both excellent customer service and quality of Panera’s products. I wish every employee could be like her and take interest and pride in their job ethic. Because of Alexis, we will return to Panera! Thank you Alexis!

The most dirtiest Panera I have ever stepped foot into. I rarely visit a Panera but was craving a tomato soup. Walked through the entire dining area and every single table was dirty. It wasn’t welcoming and you could tell it hasn’t been cleaned in hours. It’s 7:00pm on a Sunday and place is slow, place looked fully staffed and employees were chatting and rather than making use of time and cleaning up tables they rather have every table dirty and trash on the ground laying around. Sat down for 20 minutes while I waited for my friend to come over and have us go to another place, no table was ever picked up. Disgusting. Walked out. Can’t imagine how the kitchen is inside or if they fully even disinfect or clean the dishes fully. This place should get audited.

The table was not clean , I had to throw the trash and clean the table, it’s not the first time that happens to me… I go there because of the food but needs more attention on details like that… Hope they can improve their hygiene and service.

Once again this place can’t differentiate a piece of bread from chips, always order side of bread and receive chips.
Don’t know if anyone can guess what I ordered from the picture I just posted..it’s a tomato basil BLT….with one of the main ingredients missing unless the T in BLT no longer stands for TOMATO….last time I throw away money here

We stopped on our way home from my surgery and ordered 2 bread bowl chicken noodle soups. We got home almost 20 minutes away and they had given us 2 tomato soups instead of chicken noodle. I spoke to a lady on the phone who was slightly rude and unapologetic. Instead of apologizing she tried to argue that my husband did not even order bread bowls when it is right on the receipt. My husband had to make a nearly 40 minute round trip to go back for chicken noodle soup as neither of us eat tomato soup. They didn’t apologize or do anything to make it right aside from giving the chicken noodle soup. Such crappy customer service..

Was super nice! The lighting is great, its quiet and homey, the dishes (as in plates and bowls) are simple an artistic, the food was really yummy, healthy, vegan friendly, pretty to look at and it came is Perfect portions. Plus, the drinks are fresh and it smells great inside. Its clean and well lit, the system of trash is very simple an eco friendly. Ive only eaten Panera 3x in my life (twice dine in, once delivery) and each experience was positive.

If I could give this Panera a 0 I would. I’m not from around this area and decided to stop here for something quick. This is the dirtiest and rudest Panera I have ever been too. When I walked in I was standing at the counter for about 5 minutes and no one walked up to say anything even though there were multiple employees standing around and saw me and my family waiting. We ended up using the self service to order our food. Walked over to the dining room area to find trash all over the floor and tables dirty. For the 30-40 minutes we were here not one employee came around to pick up and mind you it was extremely slow. Went to the restroom and an employee came out of the stall while I was washing my hands and walked out without washing her hands. Once we got our food our Macaroni and Cheese was cold. So disappointed and grossed out.
