    It took them over an hour to prepare a couple of sandwiches, and on top of that, they didn't even deliver them the way I wanted. They were missing things that they charged me for, but they didn't include them.

    Listed price for pick 2 was 4.75 each but I was charged 5.69 each. That is illegal, and they said they could not alter the price.

    Waste of money. They didn't fill the $10 tomato soup up all the way. The strawberry lemonade slush was smaller than a small and it cost $6. They filled half of it with ice. Don't eat here. Totally not worth it. They went way downhill.

    This location has truly taken me on a rollercoaster of emotions. I’ve been a regular customer for over a year, and at one point I even canceled my membership because the customer service was so disappointing. Thankfully, I decided to give them a second chance, and I haven’t regretted it since. The new morning manager is excellent—always cheerful, attentive to every customer, quick to prioritize small orders, and able to keep the crew moving smoothly, even during hectic mornings filled with catering requests. That said, there’s still one recurring issue, not just at this location but at several Panera stores: missing items. They use a system where staff check off the ticket to “ensure” everything is in the bag, but it’s still common to find chips, spreads, or other items missing. When I have time, I open the bag before leaving and catch mistakes right away. The staff are always kind and quick to fix them. Unfortunately, I can’t always check, and on those mornings I end up with unpleasant surprises once I get to work Overall, if I could, I would have their salads every day for lunch, and a blueberry bagel with cream cheese for breakfast 🥰
