- FAFarid ayobiDec 12, 20251.0So they have to be opened at 6 o’clock right now 6 :10 But they don’t want to open I don’t know what happened
- SKSamantha KCDec 11, 20254.0Amazing staff and food at this Panera but it is absolutely overrun by obnoxious kids from the high school around the corner before and after school. They take all the seat - but none of them have purchased anything, just hanging out. And if you do manage to find a seat, it’s like being back in a school cafeteria with all the yelling, fighting and fooling around. This morning I was treated to a young lady doing her morning ablutions - she stripped down to a onesie leotard thing and then proceeded to lotion up her limbs and put on deodorant before putting on her school clothes. Not what I want to eat next to.
- JVJulius VasquezDec 6, 20254.0Classic local spot for Jackson-Reed High School and American University students. I have many memories at this place. Personally, the food isn't necessarily great for the price, at least the mac isn't. The main selling point of this is its location next to the metro and the good, clean, busy environment for hanging out or studying. I will say, though, the Kitchen Sink Cookie is very delicious.
- NANaylise AvilesOct 6, 20251.0Managers and workers are disrespectful to paying customers after school and during school, they kick kids out even if they payed, their rude when you do something wrong and the workers are just negative to paying customers, specifically the big lady and skinny dude
- EEEllieOct 6, 20251.0the managers are so disrespectful to PAYING customers. I order from here almost every day and they never fail to be rude. some kids get to eat inside but underprivileged kids are banished to the outside heat. Not cool, do better!!
