Food was good. I got my very picky Dad to eat all of his food there. He loved it.

I went to this Panera Bread location yesterday, and I am extremely disappointed and honestly disgusted. My son wanted a brownie, but I refused to buy any baked goods because there were flies crawling all over the pastries inside the display case. I even have pictures. That is a major health risk to the public especially when these items are supposed to be ready-to-eat.
On top of that, they charged me $11 for a tiny cup of soup, which was ridiculous for the size.
The display case should be clean and protected. Seeing flies landing on food that’s being sold to customers is unacceptable. I’m thankful I noticed before my child ate anything.
This location needs to be inspected and held accountable sanitation must be their priority, not just charging high prices. I will not be returning until they resolve these issues.

I have visited this location several times and always found the food and staff to be excellent. However, I have noticed on multiple occasions that the manager, Iker, speaks to the employees in a rude and disrespectful manner. I hope this can be improved moving forward.
