We stopped in here to "waste a little time" until Ollie's opened at 9am (we also decided we could eat, since we hadn't really had breakfast yet). Hubs got the Four Cheese Souffle and an Americano, I got the Classic Avocado Toast and an iced tea, and we got two blueberry muffins to go.
The souffle was dished up right away, and I was handed a cup for my iced tea. I took both these items, filled my cup and found a seat for us while Hubs waited for the rest. He got his Americano, came around the corner, and set it down, then went back and waited for my Avocado Toast. They called my name to acknowledge that my order was ready, as he was on his way back to the counter. So, he returned to the table straightaway.
The Avocado Toast was phenomenal. One piece of toast with mashed avocado and everything bagel topping. 🤌🏻 The unsweetened tea tasted fresh and delicious (as I always find it at Panera).
Hubs advised that the Four Cheese Souffle was quite cheesy and tasted delicious. He scarfed it down fairly quickly, so I believe he was telling the truth 😁.
As we were discussing houses we wanted to look at (we ARE moving to the area), the employee who took our order snuck up next to us and set a bag on our table and said, "Did you get your blueberry muffins?" 🤦🏻♀️
Both of us had totally spaced the muffins and would have walked out without them if he hadn't brought them to us. We thanked him profusely.
We beat the rush, had an excellent breakfast, met an honest employee, spent some time chatting about which houses we like, and "wasted" the time we needed to in order to be able to wait until Ollie's opened at 9am. All this leads to a five star experience at this Panera. 💙

This was supposed to be a Grilled Chicken & Avo BLT (without bacon or tomato). Waited almost 30 minutes for lettuce, mayo, and bread.

Perfect experience at Panera—friendly service, delicious food, and everything just right. I’ll definitely be back!
Waited 30-45 mins for a sandwich and a salad. Four employees said 'Hi' to me but no one offered to help as I stood at the register for five whole minutes before someone (a manager?) got up from one of the tables where they were having a nice little conversation with another employee. After I got my order submitted, I watched through the kitchen window as 4 employees stood around doing nothing at all while one person restocked the make table, cleaned up, and ten minutes later, started making my order.
I will never go back.

food is good, but whoever is in charge of staffing needs to hire more to where it’s not a skeleton crew working.its unfair to the employees and it’s inconvenient coming at a slow time and being told it will take a long period of time. i come back on occasion because the food is really good and there’s lots of issues but it shouldn’t be a 50/50 gamble with the experience
