Well okay seems like everybody else has gone to this place except me I really don't go out to eat much and I'm very picky But When my friend offered to bring me here And he assured me that the food was good I said okay I'm so impressed with the menu There is a lot of healthy things to choose from and I love they List of the calories for each item From soups to sandwiches There's a lot of great combinations and salads My friend ordered a salad with tuna sandwich And I ordered Mediterranean With tomato soup I swear you can't go wrong in this place The prices are good What does seating options we decided to sit outside or it's quiet The food came up super fast and super fresh In the The lady who took our art of a very very kind Personable and probably deserves a raise

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Chetan Patel · Dec 2025

I am disappointed with my food. Hendersonville place is better than this place. This is not my spot to visit again. Definitely no one should come two hours before closing. Bread, chips, and the indigents are not fresh. This place is not worth the money. I spent more than seventeen dollars just for tomato soup and the meditation veg sandwich for one person. Spicy onion they used ruined my food taste.

This particular establishment is a Staple of Asheville that every visiting party should incorporate into their itinerary. The food was scrum-diddly-dumptious and it was very clear that the employees are hard workers. The handsome fellow, John, was a stand out employee. John personally supervised the making of my chicken sandwich and ensured the quality was 110%. My sandwich was perfectly toasted and generously stuffed. I may never find another sandwich to satiate my tongue the way this one did. Not only did John deliver a perfect meal, he even escorted my to a free table and made sure I was comfortable. John clearly understands good service, he would be an amazing owner. I’m sure this Panera is always great, but make sure to visit when John is working to really indulge in his expertise. 10

Tables are full of crumbs. No one came to clean in my 2 hours there. Hazelnut coffee empty, told 3 different staffs n finally someone took care of it 45 min later. Food is expensive 😩. Won't be coming back. This place doesn't use to be that bad before

The manager Kai is awesome. I accidentally ordered at a different location so I called and had them cancel it and Kai hooked me right up and got me straightened out. Super great people super good atmosphere great vibes great employees and the food was banging can’t complain.
