More like 3.5 stars. Better service and food quality here than other Panera locations. Occasionally I will receive a salad with a couple of wilted leaves, but for the most part the food here has been pretty consistently fresh.
There are a number of electronic kiosks by the entrance to streamline the ordering process. Grab a buzzer and your food will be delivered to your table when it's ready. Dine in service is usually quite fast, less than 10 min, and very friendly.
As other reviews mentioned this used to be a Paradise Bakery, which IMO was preferable for the wider variety of their menu and free cookie with each meal - both of those are lost with Panera.
Prices are a little steep - expect to pay around $15 for a half salad, half sandwich, and drink.
Most of the menu items are decent. A little generic, nothing spectacular, but it gets the job done when I'm craving a light, simple meal and am too lazy to make my own sandwich. The one exception are the bear claws, can't get enough of those!
Of note, the rapid pickup online ordering option usually takes longer than the promised 5 min. Give it closer to 10-15 min.
TL;DR
- Food 3.5/5
- Service 4/5
- Price 3/5
- Good place for a quick bite and light, healthy meal
