Gross. I’ve never been to Panera before but I had a gift card. I looked at their site and the mac and cheese with bacon looked good. Instead of a full bowl as pictured it was a small scoop in a mostly empty bowl. They give you rock hard room temperature bread.
The whole place looks and feels like a rundown Hometown Buffet. On top of that I’m pretty sure they over charged me. Maybe other locations are different but avoid this one.

We ordered two breakfast sandwiches that were supposed to be $6.99 each. When we got to the store to pick up our breakfast, we realize that they had charged us $8.99 each. Also, after my wife finished her sandwich, she realized that it was supposed to have bacon and sausage, but it only had bacon. When we questioned the manager about these issues, he said oh yeah, sometimes see online orders get goofed up. I responded that it probably always goofed up in favor of the store. He agreed. We received a refund for one of the sandwiches, but the whole experience still left us feeling resentful. You shouldn’t have to check up on businesses like this. For four dollars they burned a long-term relationship. Is that really worth it?

This place tends to be low on hot water and milk for the teas. Rarely do I come here and I can both fill up my hot tea And put in the milk without having to request a refill of at least one of them. Today, it was both. Not sure if they’re short staffed or letting things go empty intentionally. Today, their hot tea bags were also low.
Some attitude when I asked for someone to refill the hot drinks. I waited a while and received my food, and only then did they refill the milks and then the water. If I were in more of a hurry, which sometimes I am, I wouldn’t have been able to prepare my drink as I like it.
Also, don’t get a sandwich at Panera. The amount of protein inside it atrociously low, and the last time I ordered one here, I returned it to them. It was cold, only one short half ring piece of red onion, and barely any chicken. The guy said he could re-make it but “that’s the right amount we’re supongo put on the sandwiches.” It was much better and actually hot when he re-made it, with a bit more onion on it, too. Forget about lettuce on your sandwich! Just don’t get it here.
Make sure you’re ok on your salt intake if you get a soup! I really like soup and ordered one today. The lowest salt content was over a thousand!! 1243 or something like that- and that was for the chicken soup. All the others were over 1500, which is over half of the daily recommended salt intake for an adult.

I accidentally ordered a hot coffee instead of iced, and Kaily quickly changed it for me with no hesitation. She was so kind, patient, and sweet about it. Great customer service — thank you, Kaily!

This is our first and last visit. Visit visit to Panera Bread. Both of our sandwiches The bread was dry, the condiments were lacking, making the sandwich seem even drier. , the bacon was paper. Thin and my wife’s bread was falling apart.
Chip choices, just one. We really expected higher quality than that.

Worst customer service ever! The young girl at the front counter working the register, had the poorest attitude. Seemed like everything was a chore for her. I overheard her being completely rude to older people in line and was also beyond rude to myself. Give someone else the opportunity to make money and kick her to the curb.

I love Panera!
This location is hit and miss, but I think the food is usually good. Sometimes my veggie sandwich will have 1 pieces lettuce and onions(wrong order maybe? ), sometimes it’s complete. Sometimes the food is incredible, and sometimes I have to spit it out. But it’s more bad than good, for me.

Arrived at this Panera bread and every table was filthy, the entire restaurant was in need of a cleaning. Sixty dollars for two half sandwiches, tiny bowl of soup and a Mac and cheese was ridiculous! For what you get you pay way too much!!! Had to go back up to order pickup several times for missing items or wrong orders. Highly recommend avoiding this place! Panera bread has become grossly over priced for what you get!

Absolutely awful experience.
We arrived as a family of five with grandparents — first time here. Half the tables were filthy and hadn’t been wiped. Fine, things happen. But the young woman with glasses at the till was unbelievably rude and condescending. Taking an order for seven people seemed like a personal inconvenience to her, and she made sure we knew it.
To top it off, she couldn’t even count properly — needed help doing basic math when we paid in cash. And somehow still expected a tip? I’d sooner tip a self-checkout machine than reward that kind of attitude.
Disgraceful service. Avoid this place.
