    The food was tasty, and I’m glad I tried it! The portions were smaller than I expected, and the 3-pack dessert wasn’t quite as big as I imagined, but overall it was a nice experience. I’m hopeful they’ll keep improving and offer something even more satisfying in the future, but overall it was a nice experience. 🙌👍

    This was our first time eating any Panera Bread. I was highly disappointed. The young lady who took our order was very polite, but everything went down from there. The dinning area and drink station were not clean. (I did not take a photo of the dinning area out of courtesy to other customers) The amount of food for the price was insulting. Needless to say we won't be having Panera Bread in the future.

    Okay, so I think he said his name was Luke, but there was an employee that was absolutely amazing today! It was something simple over a decaf coffee but he was so kind and funny that my whole Panera experience was wonderful. So if his name isn't Luke, to the guy who wore a blue flannel on 10/06, you made my day with that decaf coffee and your charming personality. To Panera, KEEP HIM.
