To start off, the food and staff are great. I come here often to study, but for a while now the WiFi has not been working well. As a student this is a great place to grab a bite and get some work done. Hoping it gets fixed soon.

Food is good, but I came with whole group to eat here and to make short meeting with guests from office. There is no internet, no sockets working, it’s very poor conditions :( only 2 we found and 1 of them was not working :(

What's with the salad portions now? It was like half full and the lettuce was soggy. Gross. Do better

Absolutely unacceptable experience. The iced coffee was stale and watery, clearly old. The brownie cheesecake bite was undercooked and tasted like it had been sitting out all day—ended up throwing most of it away.
The store itself was dirty—windowsills covered in dust and spiderwebs. WiFi kept dropping, which made it impossible to get work done. Staff were loudly chatting behind the counter and using unprofessional language, making the environment disruptive and unpleasant.
This place is poorly managed and completely unfit for anyone looking for a reliable place to eat, study, or even just relax. I won’t be coming back. Panera needs to seriously reevaluate the standards at this location.

For the amount of chicken that I got in my sandwich for $13 lunch I will never go there again- prices of food went up I shop I know but this is stealing money
