- KAKamera AbramNov 10, 20252.0I usually never have a rough time with panera but I called about a order i placed over 1 1:2 hours ago and I felt rushed off the phone or as if they felt the need to not be bothered with me.
- YDYessica DOct 13, 20255.0I love it
- JHJeanette HarrisonSep 22, 20254.0I asked for the 1/2 samd & soup, got a salad & soup lol. Cashier confused me too. I said $6,99 after he put $8.99 in total. Lol.
- ACAmelia Jane CastleSep 18, 20253.0It would have been nicer if my wallet hasn't been taken!
- SSSteven StasiSep 6, 20252.0Bathroom trashed outside garbage full and trash everywhere. Better off going through the drive-thru if you have to have it. The staff is not about customer service they are on their phones 90% of the time if they are not making food or taking your money. Blue hair don't care! Nose ring central with an eyeroll to top it off. Would not recommend.
