Giving a lower score cause I will have to stop coming to this location if they keep undercooking the souffles! They don't have that signature golden brown crust and the filling becomes mushy and soaks into the crust and makes extra mush. Maybe their oven is on the fritz? I dunno. But a few extra minutes in the oven to bake would be a world of difference for these cause I LOVE them. This location always tastes different so I would assume because of improper cooking.
I stop here about every two or three months and pick up breakfast for 20 people at work. The bagel packs and pastries are great. Bagel packs are very cost effective but pastries are pricey. Service is quick and they include napkins, knifes, cream cheese, etc. We eat lunch or dinner here occasionally. I love the veggie sandwich and the baked potato soup. The bread bowls with soup are excellent. Panera always has excellent food and service, however they are getting very pricey for what you get these days. You can get a lot more at most sit down places now.
Panera bread is awesome. It's a great place to eat relax enjoy the atmosphere. The employees are awesome. Simone and Caleb are simply the Best always polite and helpful on anything you need and make your visit worthwhile. Thanks again see you soon.
Food is always good , fresh, quick. I do get very annoyed to be prompted to leave a tip for a cashier though.
I like the menu options. Sadly, the service over the past year or so has suffered which means that the food is often presented sloppily and sometimes skimped on. Be prepared to wait awhile for your food. I watched as 3 people worked to prepare food as they bumped into each other, double filled an order because they didn't talk to each other and then stand and kind of look around in confusion. Never thought they'd get my soup ladled into a bowl. When the finally did, it was in the bowl, down the sides of the bowl and on the tray. Argh. So frustrating.
