Came in for a breakfast item. Was served by Gisselle. One of the most pleasant, kind people I have dealt with in a long time. She was polite and kind. You need to hire more just like her!

I was really disappointed with my recent visit to this Panera location. The dining area was noticeably dirty, with tables left unclean and floors that clearly hadn’t been taken care of. On top of that, the portions were much smaller than expected, especially considering the prices. To make things worse, my order wasn’t even prepared correctly, which added unnecessary frustration to the experience.
I usually enjoy Panera for its consistency and quality, but this location really fell short in cleanliness, portion size, and order accuracy. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and makes improvements, because right now it’s not a place I’d recommend or return to.

The best thing is the unlimited sip club membership! Wonderful place to come hang out and enjoy a quick meal. Service is not always the friendliest especially when I have to go up because they made my sandwich wrong. I think the portion of soup, for the price you pay, is too small. Otherwise, the sandwiches are great. I do miss the old sourdough loaf they use to have.

They don't know how to put app orders on the app order shelf and waste your time while you wait there thinking it's not ready when they're holding behind the counter for some reason
