    Attention to detail and availability of stock drive customer satisfaction. This Panera had neither one. They were out of what I wanted, the coffee was not hot and they got my order wrong. Why should I return?

    The food is amazing, one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The online ordering/pickup is super smooth and makes it super convenient over busy hours. The only problem is the parking lot is very congested during peak hours.

    I waited in the drive through for 25 minutes, not even kidding. Not even a free cookie or refund. I won’t be back.
