I stopped in here -this place has serious area competition from restaurants and the mall, so even through Panera is great, I usually end up somewhere else as parking is just okay here. Busy corner. Tonight, though, on the way home from somewhere else, I remembered they had WIFI and ample electrical outlets - laptop battery had died - so I stopped in. Tortellini pasta was very good and coffee was was good, too. Surprised to see a sign over the coffee saying they cut back on options though after 2pm. They must get the morning rush? Anyway, they say they will make your choice if asked. At day's end when the coffee was already taken away, the shift manager gave me a free latte to compensate. That was nice of him to offer and do. Panera really gets it for "breathing room" and "great product display". It's just a pretty place with comfortable seating. Landed, plugged in, had dinner, people watched. All good - there's a nice HUGE patio here, too, with many tables. Nice ramp up from the corner bus stop or parking - great for disability access. I was there at closing and it touched me that they donate the day's left overs to charity. That alone will bring me back. Very impressed. No food goes to waste here. Oh - they also have delivery and catering. The pastries here are BEAUTIFUL!
