  Catering Success! Thanks to the team at the 2484 N Randall, Elgin location. I ordered catering for our monthly meeting and they have the best service! The food is packaged and labeled so nicely, which makes for very easy meeting set up, the food is fresh, and the staff are top-notch! Thank you for making my life easier! Everyone was pleased with lunch. - Kari

  This is probably the worst Panera location in the area, and I’ve been there a few times and consistently had a below average experience. First off, this location got a full renovation a few years back, and even with the renovation, it’s still really dirty and unkept like it was before the renovation. Similarly unkept is the coffee bar and tea dispenser. One time I went in, the coffee was not hot and was not refilled, so I wasn’t able to get a full cup. I’m not sure if the coffee bar was closed or not, but I saw nothing indicating that the coffee wasn’t being refilled. I went in there another time and ordered a sweet tea, however, the unsweetened tea dispenser only partly worked and it took forever to fill the cup. There are better Panera locations around, please do not go to this one.

  Our seniors from our community of Carillon have been ordering from this Panera since they opened. So be it we ordered 2 bagel pack for a long time. Never asked for something, we got the Bagels and cream cheese we for a few plates knifes, and napkins. The last few months the morning people that run that store have been rude and I was told they didn't need our business. I laughed at the guy and the manager said even Giants fall, they didn't give me anything knifes, napkins, plates I said if we ate here they have to clean plates, area. We ask for the Bagels to be sliced, they cut the Bagels so bad I took pictures, not like they were busy on a Sunday morning with no other orders so that guy could care less about what he was doing because we couldn't even toast the Bagels they were cut in quarters. The guy told me to take my business elsewhere because he didn't want to here my complaint how they were cut, and they short my order last time. They treat seniors badly at this store. Heads up go elsewhere
