    In Florida on vacation. First visit. The older woman in the tye-dye shirt working in the bakery was so helpful and cheerful. She made great recommendations. So glad we popped in.

    I specifically come here for the papaya green tea with my lunch. The machine was down and as I complained to my fiance, an employee named Heather overheard. She walked up to me and told me to give her a minute. She then came out with a full glass of that tea and said her goal was customer satisfaction. This is a perfect example of what's important in this industry. Thank you Heather!!

    Ever since Panera changed the way they are making their bagels, the Asiago bagels are either flat or rise too much and hollow inside. I did complain to corporate with photos of my 13 bagels that I used for a luncheon I was having and they did give me a full refund. However two weeks later, I was back and didn’t buy the Asiago bagels (my past favorite) because they looked the same way. I decided to get Sasame bagels instead and found them to be not as good as before. I love Panera but I’m considering trying Einstein Bagels As my new bagel place. Very disappointed in Panera. I think they are shipping frozen bagels that are half baked to the store and this is compromising the taste and look of their baked goods. Please Panera go back to the way you were doing things before.
