This is the second time I have gone to this location and had my order somehow screwed up. How do you confuse "Chicken Noodle" and "Cream of Broccoli" or "Cream of Chicken"?? The only difference is this time I called for a refund. I wouldn't be mad if I wasn't allergic to dairy. However the manager did send me a voucher for this, I'm still mad that it's happened twice at the same location.

Mans bedroom were dirty and have a very strong urine smell.
The carpet and some tables were dirty.
This is a food establishment. These things are very important things to cover.

Everything is good about this location but the bathroom. They open at 6 I come in 30 minutes after I only use it to rinse coffee cup out. But bathroom smells like an outhouse. If you look on the wall of the stall it has streaks all over it sink is nasty smells so bad. I have gone In On several occasions same thing every time. If they can’t clean bathrooms are they even washing hands?

Unfortunately this location has very poor communication. I personally have attempted to contact the GM over the last two weeks, but to no avail. She’s never there. Today I reached someone “filling in” and she was pleasant but couldn’t help me.
She actually said she “thinks” they don’t have a GM and gave me the Assistant GM’s email.

Let me just start by saying: being a Panera Sip Club member is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. I walk into this Panera and it’s like stepping into a spotless temple of comfort food. The place is immaculate—not a crumb out of place, not a smudge on the counter, even the napkin dispensers are lined up like little soldiers ready to serve.
The staff? Incredibly friendly and welcoming. They greet you like you’re family—like they know you’re part of the Sip Club elite. (Which, of course, I am. Did I mention I’m a Sip Club member? Because I am—and I LOVE it.)
Now let’s talk about the bagels. Good heavens. These bagels are works of art. Perfectly toasted, soft on the inside, and just the right amount of chew. Pair one with a hot coffee (free, thanks to—you guessed it—my Sip Club membership), and you’ll feel like royalty.
Halfway through my visit, one of the staff members asked how everything was. I told them it was “amazing, just like every other day I’ve spent here as a Sip Club member.” They smiled, probably because they could tell I was living my best caffeinated life.
