- HRHilda Rodriguez1 day ago2.0This review is about the online website. I had these issues happen twice, the first time I had ordered online and the order was not complete. It was missing an item, and I only had noticed it when I arrived home. Today on the website I had ordered a Mitten cookie, and when I went to pick it up and I went to check to make sure that the order was correct this time. Instead of giving me the mitten cookie they gave me a pumpkin cookie when I went to tell them it wasn’t what I ordered they told me that cookie wouldn’t be available until December. Even though on the website it let me order the cookie the person who attended me told me that the cookie was the same but it is not. I ordered that cookie for my daughter and for her it had to be that cookie specifically, it’s what she wanted. If that cookie isn’t available until December then it should not be available to order on the website.
- APAlla PuchalskyOct 23, 20251.0Very disappointing experience. My app picked the wrong Panera location by mistake, and when I came for pickup, the staff refused to help. At STARBUCKS , they fixed this kind of issue right away but here, they told me to call and cancel myself. No effort, no customer service. Never using Panera again.
- VTViktoria TapaiOct 15, 20251.0Ordered the Garden Caprese and they left the garlic aioli sauce off of my sandwich. I should have checked it there but didn’t think being the only customer in there they still capable of screwing up my order. I could not go back I was eating it on 75 driving home. 😒 And reading the reviews the weirdest and rudest thing is that no manager thanking for the good ones, and no apologies for the bad ones.
- SSSeidy SleimanOct 14, 20255.0This Panera is always so good. Food comes out quick and well made. The self checkout counters are the best thing because the menu is so large that it’s easier to choose this way, seeing pictures and calmly choosing.
- SISunny islesSep 5, 20255.0We had just had dinner and walking it off when we popped into Panera Bread for dessert. They didn’t have much to choose from, because it was late. However the place was clean and staff was very helpful. We sipped on chai lattes and enjoyed cherry danish. There are lots of parking and this location is conveniently located at the UTC district, located off university parkway!
