Food, it's a Panera. Service, it's a Panera.
Atmosphere. I spend almost every evening here, pounding away at my computer, while my daughter takes ballet lessons nearby. I am always impressed with the staff here. They seem happy and they genuinely seem to enjoy working together.
In a time when it is difficult to get people to work and not be miserable, this place is a breath of fresh air. It is clear that several are friends and they all seem to have mutual respect for one-another and enjoy eachother.
Management has it figured out. I have seen that they treat the employees with respect, and they get the job done while being friendly and kind. This is difficult to teach and I believe the managers have figured it out and are good leaders.
Strong work on all levels!

My first time eating here was much more than I had expected. It was home cooking, flavorful with good size proportions. Pleasantly surprised!

I had to change my order from a pickup to a delivery. I gave them a 30 minute notice and Geronimo and his team went above and beyond to make it happen. This is great customer service. Will definitely be back.

Panera off of Rockfield morning wakey breaky time. Nice chipotle chicken sandwich. Besides breads and pastries no carbs options like hash browns. Enjoyed the muffin, split it with betsy. Great drink bar here. Also, good coffee and a value with their Coffee Club. A tad bit expensive. But draws the Corperate crowd. Some working meetings or people removing for work even. Really friendly staff. Lots of thank yous for the cooks. Did not try the restrooms. Most of the time very clean and put together. Outside seating as well.

In this place there are delicious preparations of all kinds. I love the fish sandwich and the soups, for example. How it is well visited, the employees are always in a rush and don't care too much about the service.

I came initially for a cup of coffee and was greeted by two of the nicest gentleman.
Their hazelnut coffee is absolutely the best. With the coffee and customer service, I don't see a reason to ever go to Starbucks again.

Great selection of fresh ingredient choices. Salad and sandwiches. The staff was friendly and helpful with offering choices and complimenting options. Food was prepared quickly and for the most part atmosphere was kept nicely. The best part is that no matter which location you go into, the menu is relatively the same. That makes it easy to always know what your options are

Parents! Please please keep an eye on what your children are getting for their drink. I've witnessed little ones filling up a cup full of their signature "charged lemonade", which contains 260 mg of caffeine in the regular cup. That's more caffeine than 3 cans of redbull! I do love their charged lemonade, and I always mix them with large amounts of sparkling water to reduce the caffeine intake. Otherwise, it's a good place to work or study. I think all the employees I've encountered are really nice. The food here seems a bit overpriced for the quality, and coffee is okay.

Tonight’s experience was like every other one at this Panera location…. GREAT!
We normally use the drive-thru but this time I needed to use the restroom inside so we ordered online for pickup. The restroom btw was clean, well stocked, and easy to find. Ordering online through the Panera app is always quick and easy. Our favorite menu picks include the Grilled cheese which can be customized! Any of the offered soups accompanied by their frozen caramel coffee drinks. And their charged lemonades are packed with caffeine and taste great. Today business was slow when I arrived which allowed for my order to be made in record time!
Traveling to this Panera is always well worth the drive. Anytime we use the drive thru the staff is polite, helpful, and quick on their feet. Drive-thru’s always help speed along business and this one is no exception. I strongly recommend Panera and this one too.
