    Just visited maybe 15 minutes ago. While my experiences with this particular Panera have NEVER been bad in the past, I am second guessing ever visiting again. • The person working the window, Andrew, kept an angry tone and even angrier expression throughout the order process. Our order was incorrect (from bacon missing from the BLT to an entire entree missing from our bag) • We did not receive drinks (mentioned this to Andrew at the window and he very impolitely turned away, shut the window, and gave us a Single Small Beverage - thank you! means so much!🙄), and left feeling much worse than when we arrived. Not sure if Andrew was just having a hard day, but regardless this was entirely unexpected and unnecessary. Please get your act together.

    Friendly staff, quick service. The person taking orders saw a regular and chatted with him, which was greattosee the interaction. I don't eat Panera very often, so she took the time to give me a quick rundown of options and helped me pick out an amazing salad and sandwich combo.
