    My black bean soup tastes like straight water and had only SKINS of black beans with a few pieces of bell pepper in it. I have a video of it with the water separated from what actual soup was in it.

    Service was less than subpar all the way around. Cashier had no clue what she was doing, then didn’t even tell us our food was ready. It sat on the counter for 30 minutes and got cold. What an absolute junk restaurant.

    I like Panera Bread, but I had a bad experience at this store during my second visit. The first time I came, the coffee tasted very weak—as if it had been brewed twice—and it had a moldy taste, which was different from other Panera locations. When I visited again, I ordered coffee, but it was still very weak and had a moldy taste. I even tried all the different coffees, and they all tasted moldy. So I tried the water as well, and the moldy taste was even stronger in the water. What could be the problem?

    What in the literal hell is going on in this store? Saturday morning… 9:30am not busy AT ALL… literally took half an hour to get 3 breakfast sandwiches… and AFTER waiting 30 minutes, they say they are out of sausage AND plain cream cheese…. 🤯 I mean seriously?! A Panera out of PLAIN CREAM CHEESE AND SAUSAGE?! And it took HALF AN HOUR for you to tell us that?! Cmon man… wont be back.

    Ordered a bowl of chicken and rice soup. When received, the bowl was half full of soup. (Always before it was a full bowl.) When I mentioned it to a worker, she was very rude. I asked to see the manager and he was confrontational, stating that it was 3 scoops and so a full bowl. He refused to listen to me when I explained about past experiences. There are lots of other places to eat. I will never go in this particular restaurant again.
