Panera is... dependable. That's the one word I would use to describe nearly every Panera, but…read moreespecially this location.
You don't go to Panera to get phenomenal fresh baked pastries or top-tier food. But you can rely on a fairly tasty menu and consistently good coffee, tea, and other beverages.
My biggest issue: the price. It's expensive here. Small portions and high prices. At least if you dine in, you can refill your beverage at their wonderfully stocked beverage bar.
My latest visit included a coffee, a cinnamon crunch bagel, and a muffin top. The muffin top was over baked and kind of bland tasting, even with chocolate chips. The cinnamon crunch bagel was great and my kiddo devoured it, but I ordered it non-toasted and they toasted it anyway.
Coffee- great as always. A few varieties to choose from. I did half blonde roast and half decaf. Very tasty. Hot and fresh.
I do like that this location has lots of seating, is open and spacious with lots of windows, and offers a patio. I enjoy walking to this location and enjoying coffee on the patio.
Dependable. Not phenomenal, but dependable.
