    My experience at this location has not been positive lately. The soda machine has been out of order- the BUBBLY flavor has been faulty for a number of days now. I’m not sure if it gets checked. There are no other sugar free options. BOTH restrooms were out of order today. Unsatisfactory

    First time going to New Smyrna location and it will definitely be the last. I only ordered two breakfast items and took for ever to get my food and when I got it I was very disappointed! The bread was burnt. Will not be returning.

    This store has to be the slowest Panera I have ever been to. They are never busy but it somehow always takes 15 minutes to get your food. Whoever that manages this store needs to get this store up to speed and work on efficiency. Take note from other local stores on how to make this place better! We live right down the street and would like to continue visiting your restaurant but the service is awful.
