- SSSally Schultz4 days ago5.0Stoped on way home to Wisconsin from Ohare. My mistake was I ordered from the wrong Panera. I was welcomed with open arms. We were starved ! The manager knew I would never make it to the correct store. She called them to cancel and took care of me as if I was royalty. The other workers were so kind and went out of their way to do what they could to help. This was 10 minutes until close. They weren’t upset that they had yet another duty. What a wonderful caring location. Thank you again for your assistance!

- AAazamOct 26, 20251.0Rude woman,I walked in at 8:00 pm not knowing they close at 8:00,the door was still unlocked and the employee was mopping,instead of politely saying that we close at 8:00,sorry. She started yelling at her co workers”why didn’t you guys tell me it’s 8:00,I have to lock the door. I turned around right away and went next door at star bucks and got my coffee. Learn customer service please or just don’t deal with customers. Sunday Oct 26th 2025 8:00 pm
- NBNatalie BowmanSep 26, 20255.0The visit was amazing my first time coming! We ordered and it took a bit longer then we expected, not a big deal. We asked the lady's at the front desk to double check if they were still making the food, they said yes. Like 5 mins later a cashier came up and gave us 2 free pastries from the kitchen and said "sorry for the wait", and then about 10 ish mins later the manger came out saying "oh I'm so sorry about the wait, there is a new chef, and they accidentally messed up something in the order!" The service was amazing! Definitely coming here again!!!
