Panera Bread

Overall this location is the best in the area, hands down. I've run into quite a few orders not being correct, ordering something mobile, having to wait over 15 minutes in store past the pick up time, and mobile ordering items that aren't in stock. I'm not sure if it is their fault or the apps fault, but it reflects poorly on all Panera locations nonetheless. The staff is always incredibly friendly here!

Delicious food. A little pricey, but worth it. I needed a take-home box, the salad was so generous! Friendly staff, too.

Great food, fresh. Employees so friendly. Love it here!

First off and foremost, this was my first time visiting this location of Panera Bread. With that being said, I will definitely be returning!

Upon entering I was greeted by several employees (I realize this is a common practice within the fast food/quick service industry); however this greeting was something of a different sort. It wasn’t your typical mundane “Welcome to McDonalds” type of song and dance. The greeting was actually genuine, to me, that goes a long way.

Once ordering I had the pleasure of ordering through a women who ended up being the General Manager, her name was Cara. Cara was swift, polite, helpful with suggestions, smiled, and maintained eye contact as much as possible (looking back and forth at the screen to input the order) during the transaction. It was obvious that her positive demeanor was positively rubbing off on her employees, definitely a real life “lead by example” situation.

Fast forward >>> after a few minutes wait I received my order and sat to begin to eat. I took notice as to how clean the dining area was. The tables were wiped clean, chairs in their proper places, and no noticeable crumbs/trash on the floor. My visit was later in the day and yet the dining area looked as if they had just opened. To me, this was a nice change of pace versus the normal fast food/quick service eating environments.

Upon finishing my meal I placed my used dishes in the desired area and began to exit the building, only to hear several comments along the lines of “thank you”, “drive safely”, and “have a good day”. A cherry on top of a great visit.

10/5 stars for the experience!

We were greeted by a very friendly staff person who was inviting but not pushy. We got soup and 1/2 sandwich combos which were fresh and we'll made. The wait was super quick. Clean new looking building, lots of natural light. Big parking lot. We'll go back for sure. Good prices, diverse menu.
