    My mom and I went through the drive thru. Person taking our order didn’t seem happy with us and hand a bad attitude. Tyler who was our cashier did a wonderful job at the window, and when we questioned why something on our order wasn’t on the reciept the girl who took our order with pink hair yelled and screamed at us through the window. Everything else was great besides her…

    This place is terrible. I came in at 8:30am and they had no Bagles and all the coffee was out. You are a breakfast establishment, how are you this inept at serving breakfast? No apologies from the Manager, rude staff.

    I had a great experience at the Panera Bread on Dirksen! The restaurant was clean, the food was fresh, and the service was excellent. Eric, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He’s friendly, attentive, and truly cares about the customers. Outstanding service all around and I would highly recommend this location!

    I was disappointed in the service since I asked for a sesame bagel but they gave me an everything bagel. When I asked them why they didn’t give me a sesame bagel, they said they were out. They should have told me when I was ordering so I could’ve chosen my own bagel since I didn’t want an everything bagel. Otherwise, the food was average for a Panera. Nothing special.
