    I usually order delivery or go through the drive through and the service at the drive through is great, but this time I went in and ordered service was not good, and they weren’t busy. It was like they couldn’t be bothered to be in a good mood and smile and ask how you are.

    I don’t usually do negative reviews; however, I couldn’t believe how poor the response was at this Panera about my coffee. I asked for it with milk, and it was so lukewarm I could have stuck my finger in it. I told the girl, “This coffee is not hot. It’s so not hot I could put my finger in it.” She asked, “do you want one without milk?” I didn’t have the time to explain to her that if putting milk in a coffee cools it off that much, the coffee is not hot to begin with. And why would was no milk the solution? I said no I’ll just take a refund. She got her manger. No apology. Nothing. From either. Terrible service. My avo and egg white sandwich was very good though.
