Comments: This is my favorite Panera in the greater Charlotte area. It's huge, not only the main seating area, but they have a conference room that's sometimes not booked, so you can go in there and sit as well. Between the inside and outside seating, it'd be impossible to come here and not find a place to sit. Other than that, it's a Panera Bread. You know what it is.

There's a seating booth here that's to your right as you walk in that's an excellent spot to plop down. It's back aganist a wall, and when you're seated there's a half wall with a window into the bakery area that blocks your view of the rest of the space. So, most visual distractions are gone. I'm typing this comment from there right now. If you're reading this comment and ever come here, try to snag that spot. But if I also happen to be coming in and see you there, we'll have to fight for it 🥊😂. Jokes aside, it's a prime spot to lock in, study, work remotely, get some reading done, have a private conversation, whatever it is you do.
