    There’s never been a near perfect experience at this Panera cafe. The food is normal, nothing special. Most of the time your order gets messed up, but the last time was even worse. The service is awful. When I ordered online, the order kept getting delayed and eventually said it was delivered and DoorDash called to say there was a problem with your order and 2 hours after the order, it was never delivered. I call the cafe and tell them the story. The customer support says he put a full refund on my account, but it never showed up. The guy scammed me and caused me to not have a lunch. Terrible experience.

    In the drive through, I ordered a you pick two, with tomato soup and a ceaser salad. The bag had no utensils, and I was given ranch dressing instead of ceaser. Luckily I was on my lunch break and my office has plastic utensils.

    Made a delicious stop this morning for breakfast at Panera Bread. Cinnamon sugar bagel toasted with cream cheese. Pulled in quickly for a yummy breakfast, it is the perfect stop! Saw their commercial for sandwich and cup of soup special, I may be back for dinner.

    Multiple times I have ordered the Cream of Wild Rice and chicken soup and it is so watery I can’t put it in the bread bowl! You must know this when you serve it! If it’s a cream soup it should be creamy!

    I love Panera! Sadly this location I will not be returning. My soup was cold on 10/30/25 at 6 Pm the kids working at the back kitchen completely ignored me standing infront of them laughing and cackling before the other staff vacuuming coming to asking me what was wrong with my soup. I am young myself and this was even super disrespectful to me. These people need to be written up. One customer lost unacceptable hire people serious about their jobs.
