Salad looks like cabbage, and no spoon to soup is unacceptable

They're my morning and afternoon coffee. Professional, hard working staff. They're my "office" for work and business. 💪🏽

I stopped here for lunch the other day because I wanted to feel like I make responsible adult decisions. You know, “I’ll have a sandwich and a coffee.” Real productive member of society stuff.
Walk in and it’s immediately clear: the human experience is over. There’s one employee at the counter who looks like they drew the short straw, and everyone else is hunched over those self-order kiosks like we’re filing our taxes. I’m just trying to get a turkey sandwich, not enlist in the Navy.
The kitchen sounded like a high school cafeteria during a food fight. Just yelling, clanging, chaos. I half expected Gordon Ramsay to parachute in. But somehow, credit where it’s due, my food came out fast and it was actually right. So respect there.
The place itself? Rough. Messy, dated, weird lighting. It’s got that early-2000s “this used to be nice” energy. Like it peaked during the Bush administration and never recovered. I’ve been to other Paneras that feel kinda cozy and modern. This one feels like it still has a MySpace.
I’d go back if I was desperate and needed something quick. But management might wanna look around and ask, “Hey… are we okay?” Because right now it’s giving strong “airport food court that lost hope” vibes.
