If I could give this location ZERO stars, I absolutely would. I am beyond irritated with this store and their complete lack of customer service and professionalism. I placed a delivery order for $50 — TWO bread bowls, a sandwich, and a salad that came with a baguette and an apple. What did we receive? ONE cup of soup. THAT’S IT.
I called the store, and the incompetent woman who answered the phone refused to let me speak to a manager. All she kept repeating was, “We’re too busy right now.” I DO NOT CARE. It took me telling her that if I had to come up there, I would be extremely upset for her to even pretend to take the situation seriously.
Then I hear her in the background telling the manager, “Hey, we have a complaint… I don’t know what she wants.” She put the phone down and left me on hold for 10 minutes. After that, someone muted the line and hung up on me.
I had to call corporate myself just to get a refund and file a complaint on both the rude girl who answered the phone and the completely useless manager. Money is too hard to come by for people to treat customers like this. I genuinely hope both of them get reprimanded for their behavior.

Food is good, but they forgot my cookie I ordered. Tried calling them several times but no answer.

I ordered the Ham Croissant Benny. Not the greatest...The creamy cheese Benedict sauce completely made the sandwich fall apart. Hot mess! If I wasn't so darn hungry this morning, I would have just gotten another sandwich instead but I was in a hurry before getting to an appointment.

I'm very disappointed. Panera is usually better than this. Especially this location. But after today's order, I must say they've really gone downhill. Food was subpar and customer service was severely lacking. Our sandwiches were bland and cold. The girl at the rapid pick-up was very inattentive. She was washing something, paying no attention to her surroundings, while I stood there for several minutes. When she saw me, she walked over and said nothing. When I told her the name on the order, she grabbed it and handed it to me, still saying nothing. Not even after I said thank you. Panera, you need to step up your game. You're not what you used to be.
