- SBSteve BellNov 30, 20255.0Not all Paneras are the same. Went to one in Boise and the register person didn't seem to know what was included with the kids meal. Said a drink was included, but it was an additional charge. I gave my phone number and asked if I had any rewards or deals. He said no ,but I did have a $5 off which I used when I went back in Illinois. Food is always good.
- SSSally SchultzNov 20, 20255.0Stoped 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!
- INIsa NNov 16, 20254.0Food is always good. Prices are becoming unreasonably expensive

- 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
