One of the best Paneras I've been to. There was a huge line at lunch today & to apologize for the wait, they gave everyone in line a warm chocolate chip cookie. Now that's customer service done right!

service is spotty, especially at the coffee bar. panera card seems to be giving rewards less often than it used to. Mac and cheese is best avoided, black bean soup is decent though.

Try asking for the green smoothie with avocado instead of banana. Yum!

New spinach salad is pretty good but the vidalia dressing is too abundant and sweet, get it on the side!

Good grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup, can be difficult to find seats.

Best decision ever? Yes. Tess enjoys both a salad and sandwich at Panera and made a Favecast review of it. Check it out- http://www.favecast.com/7dfRuWz6sB

Order off the 'hidden' menu for paleo options and some better choices, google it and be a VIP.

Those who wear black might avoid the pumpkin muffin with powdered sugar on top.

Bagels are tasty! Avoid the chai latte: it's diabetes in a cup. Way, way too sweet.

Kid loves the Mac and cheese, but why is it a dollar more than a sandwich for a tiny scoop in a big bowl?

Get a Panera card, you get lots of free stuff with it.

Panera had "to die for" chocolate chip cookies and brownies and I love my Panera Card.

Hmmm. Is it me or do the sweets here now all look like factory food? Is quality slipping?

12 mins to heat up premade half sandwich. Gave half of it to another customer; then made me wait another 2 mins to heat that.
