- FFflowwiththegoDec 28, 20251.0Coffee isn't even close to hot Updating my review. Bagel is stale
- CRChef RaphNov 7, 20251.0Unfortunate to see classic places like Panera going down hill. The restroom at this restaurant was one of the most disgusting I've ever seen. Desperately needing a full cleanse.
- MPMajestic PoolsOct 18, 20252.0Every time I go to panera bread, I order a toasted bagel with.Butter. five minutes later, they call me the bagels ready.And they hand me a toasted bagel.That's now cold along with frozen butter packages to butter.My bagel. Seems to me.They could teach somebody to butter the bagel while it's hot in the back instead of having these little packages of butter that are sitting in a tray of ice.
- HSH SSep 30, 20251.0How are you always sold out of the egg soufflé? Like it’s 8:30? Make more? It’s been like this for years I’ve been watching this business circle the drain. The only good thing left is the soufflé and y’all literally can order your back stock correctly so I’m out!
- LLLawrence LefflerSep 15, 20254.0I reduced 1 star on food because the menu had changed eliminating my favorite foods. I eliminated 1 star on service because they no longer bring your food to your table. Instead you get a buzzer that tells you when your food is ready and you have to walk up to the counter to pick it up.
