    If you're like me and can't eat bread, order the breakfast sandwich no bread and substitute an extra egg. Bacon, eggs and cheese? SO GOOD.

    Great food, but like with ALL Panera Breads it is ALWAYS difficult to find a clean table. YOU NEED MORE TABLE CLEARERS PB!

    If you want a gluten free bacon and eggs breakfast, order the breakfast bagel sans bagel and sub for an extra egg.

    Been kicked out for 'PDA' before. Apparently kissing someone twice, and sitting on the same side of the booth is a pda. At least the food is good.

    The tomato mozzarella panini is amazing. And during summer, try the strawberry poppyseed salad!

    The Mac n Cheese is legit. Get a baguette to sop up the remaining cheese too!

    Avoid this place during the noon hour. It can get so crowded, it's hard to find a table.

    Does the crazy Jesus lady ever leave? She's gross. They need to sanitize everything she sits on. She never buys anything. No thanks, I don't feel like being converted today.
