The staff is very friendly . They do run out of items, but they Are constantly slammed. Groton never as busy and has more seating. Souffles are yum! Best coffee and iced tea around!

Jim

A better location of Panera. Bigger scones for one. Good staff . Marked it down for when I'm back in that area.

Terrie Lightfoot

The lobster roll is so huge I have to eat it with a fork and knife! Expensive, but they don't skimp!

Jess

Lindsay K.

Employees at the register are not so good. Got told that they can NOT make PB&J with the you-pick-2 combo, even though it's what I get every time... Told me they'd do it, got grilled cheese instead...

Page Rogers

I live the black bean soup and they have never been out of it when I've wanted to order it

Shannon O'Neil

The new turkey chili is amazeballs

Ben Wildeboer

This location has a knack for always being "out" of what you order. Probably 2/3 of my visits involve getting something other than I originally wanted.

Chris Bahn

Some of the clerks always seem unhappy. Learn to smile and leave your personal drama home.

Selbe

If you go after 7pm, about 98% chance they'll be out of whatever you wanted to order. Bread , meat, cheese , soft drinks , you name it & they've run out. What's a Panera Bread without bread ?!? Read more

A guy that works here and cleans up plates and wipes tables does magic tricks! Great fun and really nice guy.
