Although Panera's are basically the same brand, they vary quite widely in atmosphere, size and facilities. This is one of my favorites, the only knock is that sometimes the staff seem overwhelmed at busy times. Sometimes I feel that there are more staff behind the counter than are available to serve which causes some delays. However they are unfailingly friendly - perhaps the best I have seen in a Panera and there are plenty of sockets and a lot of tables.

I continue to come here whenever I need a Mc Donalds fix. A+ ...read more
