- TSTJ Shliff3 days ago1.0Denied making a breakfast sandwich at 10:29 am, lazy.
- RBRellina Brown5 days ago5.0Today, Derrick gave me such quality customer service. (Side note: You never know what someone is going through and how you can help redirect a persons day.) He helped me with my unique order without any signs of complaint and with a kind & cheerful demeanor. Plus, the potatoe soup was delicious.
- YBYehudah BernathDec 23, 20255.0The staff here are amazing, this is by far my favorite Panera location in the Chicago area. I really like it that when I place my order at the kiosk or at the counter I always get what I ordered and I don't have to go back because they missed something. This location definitely does it right.
- HRHector RivasDec 12, 20255.0Whoever made the Broccoli soup on 12-12-25...please give them a raise and make sure they make it daily 🙏. First time it wasnt overly watery and had nice amount of veggies! Thank you. Drive thru lady was also very friendly and helpful!
- SHSelena HartDec 10, 20255.0First time here since coming to Chicago and was not disappointed in the food al though I do remeber these bread bowls a tad bigger lol Janiyah (I’m not sure if I spelled that right lol sorry if I didn’t) took very good care of my family and made me feel welcome the second I walked through the door. From the start to finish of my experience here she made it the best and made me a return customer to just this Panera ❤️🫶🏼
