★★★☆☆ 3.0 Boone BARROS · Jan 2026

They didn't have my favorite tomato soup available. The breakfast sandwich wasn't hot enough, the cheese not being melted. The cream cheese, which should've come directly from the fridge, wasn't cold enough. That being said, I appreciate the free chips.

Single best service of any Panera I’ve been to. And I’ve been to a few dozen. If there’s an issue, the folks there work with you to get it right. They exude a friendly attitude too, beyond the call of duty alone. Just singularly friendly!

Hardly any chicken (ordered double), barely any sauce, and the whole thing just looks… sad lol Kinda feels like they tossed in scraps and toasted it 2 times over. The first time i ordered it right before breakfast was ending so i thought they just were being lazy. Second time ordering this time at 8am and it's even worse. Overall lame tiny location with portions that are also lame and tiny. This was $8

Very friendly staff, the usual Panera food and drinks. The self serve drinks only 4 of the normal 7 cold teas, but the others are available behind the counter. Standard soda fountain. It's very small, no tables but there's about 10 stools looking out the window, many outlets, but only about 10" of counter. Basically a pickup location. One of my top 4 locations.

I've been through a lot of panera's. And this one has the same food that's all of them but this place is really designed for takeout there are a few seats but they're high tops and it's really not designed for sit down. This is specifically designed to pick up and go. The services always good and fast here. Actually faster than most of the sit down ones. Pretty friendly accommodating staff.
