I wish I could dislike Panera because it's a chain. However, when they serve consistently delicious food, it's hard to complain.
This Panera gets a ton of traffic from the Home Depot and Walmart traffic, not to mention the lunchtime explosion from local businesses. The drip coffee is reliably enjoyable, and their "You Pick Two" option is a great way to try both a panini and a salad. I suggest the portabello mushroom and fresh mozzarella panini-- it's a great veggie alternative to a burger. The main drawback is the crowd that inevitably forms-- stay in line, the food's worth it.
