    Don’t ever come this Panera. They will give you half a Mac and cheese.

    Surprised at the low rating for this Panera. Are people more likely to review a chain only if they have an exceptionally bad experience? I've eaten here a handful of times in the past few months and I come back because it's simple clean food at affordable prices with a comfortable dining room. Sometimes when I've visited around lunch time, when it's busy, someone doesn't bus their table and you have a table or two with plates left on it, but it's usually pretty clean. There are 3 ordering kiosks, but you can go to the counter to place your order with a staff member if you prefer. The staff that I've interacted with have been pleasant. I used to go to the Panera in my hometown when I was a kid and the food is pretty much the same as I remember it (except the baguette, which is definitely not as crusty as it was 10 years ago, but still decent). Special mentions to the bread bowl which has that lovely sourdough flavour and the brownie which is super fudgy but not too dense. The chai latte is a little underwhelming - it tastes like spiced milk with just a hint of tea. They have decaf coffee but I wish they had decaf espresso so I could get a decaf caffe latte. It should go without saying that you won't find the most exciting or flavourful food at Panera, but I find their offerings satisfying when I just want something simple and balanced.

    We frequently order bagels for the whole office from Panera. They have a pretty smooth ordering process. I can place the order on my app.And then when it's ready, which is very quick, I can go through the drive through and pick it up. I never have to get out of the car to get a big order. They have very good bagels and breakfast pastries.

    Service is horrible when it comes to drive through! Especially when the loud and obnoxious girl is working it. She is ALWAYS SCREAMING in the headset and or takes forever for her to answer! On several occasions she has shoved my bag into my hand and then proceeds to slam the windows shut.
