    I was just there today and it literally took me more than 45 minutes to get my mobil order food, and to top it off, I was given the wrong order! This is very frustrating and unacceptable!! I don’t make this type of posts but this is not the first time that something similar has happened to me at this location :( very disappointed. The cashier was nice though.

    Dropped in on Veterans Day, excited for the free coffee and pastry special for vets. Asked the counter guy, and after some back-and-forth with a manager, they kinda sorta applied a discount-my bagel, cream cheese, coffee, and pastry went from thirteen bucks to ten. But nationally, that coffee and pastry should've been straight-up free. Grabbed my stuff, and surprise-no pastry in the bag. Place was dead empty, service felt half-asleep. Disappointing for a veteran just wanting a simple thank-you bite. Two stars, tops-Panera, step it up.
