When ordering a drink, I verbally provided the phone number registered to my membership, but after they failed to understand it three times, I wrote the numbers down on my phone. However, they said they couldn't see it because of poor eyesight, which I found rude and frustrating.

How can you sell bacon Mac and Cheese without bacon. This establishment should be closed down. The manager was too busy talking to his girlfriend

Terrible service. We waited for 25 minutes and the only way I need our food was ready was because I read every single ingredient on every to go bag. We ordered with a text notification and it never came. The kitchen staff said "it might text you but I don't know if it will or not".

Noticing a quality drop recently. Bagels taste and have the texture of store-bought pre-frozen bread. Like something from Aldi. No hate to Aldi but I expect more from Panera. Definitely not fresh. Disappointed.
