    They have to send someone from Panera to supervise what they are doing with the food. They put a rotten vegetable in my Mediterranean sandwich 🥪

    Bread used to be better, is noticably soggy now. They did something to the lemonade too. Still a good neutral meeting place with adequate food for lots of tastes. But probably not anybody's favorite restaurant anymore.

    Food was actually awful. Mac and cheese tasted so dry and old. Bagel barely had any flavor, chocolate chip Muffie tasted like it’s been sitting out for days. Everything was just disappointing and I threw away most of it. Not to mention whoever designed this place obviously does not want students here working. There’s not a single outlet in the sitting area for people on laptops to use. I’ll never come back to this location.
