    Ordered bread bowls and upon pickup was told someone bought all the bread bowls. Ordering in the Panera app ahead of time and no contact until we showed up is terrible customer service and poor organization

    I cannot stand this location. Coming here for breakfast I am always missing something or something is messed up when I do pick up orders or order through the drive-thru. When I order lunch I get moldy cheese sent out to me not once not twice but three times when I order French onion soup. This location is a health hazard and needs to be shut down. Highly recommend the Randall road location I have never had an issue there once

    Went there today at about 11:30. No bagels. Asked if they were going to make more, she shrugged. What’s with you.
