    Wow, I visit here a lot! Today was the worst service I have had at a restaurant in a long time. Supplies at the coffee bar were out. Coffee was empty, I had to wait for the brew, not even a back up pot ready! Then when I finished the coffee I waited on it so many grounds in the cup it was like no filter was used at all! I hope this gets fixed as it is in my way and I would to have go other places in the future!

    Once again, so disappointed with this particular Panera. No one willing to help at the counter, even for a simple cup of coffee. Nope, you are ignored or told to go to the kiosk to I put your order for a cup. So lazy and such a quick turn off. Where is the customer service? Four workers huddled in the corner, talking amongst themselves and laughing and having a good ol’ time. This is why so many of us around the Windermere area avoid this Panera. Terrible.

    The location is nice and generally clean. However, I have noticed changes in the quality and quantity of food. The last time that I ordered a Pick Two, the soup tasted like it was burnt, and the sandwich was laughable - it was tiny and had very little protein in t. Unfortunately, this was a to-go order, so I only noticed the problem when I got home and couldn't provide feedback, or return the order. The changes to quality and portions have been gradual, but at this point we have reached a level of complete disappointment. The drinks are fine, except for the coffee. It does not taste fresh. Also, the milk is cold, so by the time you mix it in, you no longer have hot coffee. This used to be a good location, and I'm hoping that things can be fixed.
