I wanted some homemade soup and I asked the girl at the register and she said all of them were homemade. I ordered the Homestyle chicken noodle soup, Thinking it would be really good and it was definitely out of a can. Tiny little pieces of chicken, mostly broth. Tasted like Campbell’s very disappointed as a bowl is expensive also had the half sandwich caprice, and when I got it, it was cold, thought it was more toasted, and there was a lack of mozzarella cheese. Not sure I will be back.

I haven’t eaten in a Panera since I left the Wilmington area, I decided to stop in , was shopping in Mayfaire. The restaurant and service was great, I ordered the steak dipper and I literally threw away most of the meat, it tasted old… The tomato soup was delish though!

I'm always happy when I find a Panera bread because the food is consistent and I really like it! The new Thai chicken soup is delicious, especially with the crusty bread. I usually get the salad as well tomatoes and cucumbers. Large selection of hot teas... I get the English breakfast.

The floors and tables were dirty. They should move the cups away from the self order kiosks and place them, oh I don't know, near the drinks. Too many times people are reaching over me while I was placing an order just so they could get a cup. Napkin dispenser was completely out. Nice outdoor seating area.

We are uncomfortable every time we go here in the late afternoon. There is always a school tutoring class going on . They don't have the courtesy to go off to the side they park right in the middle of the dining area. If I wanted to hear about asorted school subjects I would volunteer at a school. Panera needs to put them off to the side or turn off the wifi so the tutor will hold classes at her home.
