- AGAsk me my name GDec 1, 20251.0Sadly, I went through some of the reviews and not a single one had a reply back from a representative of Panera Bread. I NOT YELLING BUT BELOW WAS MY BAD EXPERIENCE. I HOPE IT HELPS OTHERS DECIDE ON A PLACE TO EAT. After my mom and I came to Rockford Illinois Panera Bread restaurant we were charged two different prices for two cinnamon rolls and they messed up our orders as well. I called corporate office to two them. They were kind enough to give me a $40.00 egift card which covered our cost. Today, December 1, 2025 I came to Rockford to shop so I stopped at Panera to grab some food. I tried locating the egift card searching panera, panera bread, cashstar and nothing came up. Gpt gave me two phone numbers to call but they rang until it hung up on me. Gpt then gave me an email address I composed all the details and sent it. I received it back telling me it didn't go through. Right after I was given the $40.00 egift card I found It. However, can't locate it for my lunch today. Couldn't get through by two different numbers or email. I'm not sure what to think. I guess I'll skip eating and continue my Christmas shopping. NOT YELLING I JUST HOPE THIS HELPS OTHERS.
