    Panera should not be attempting to sell chunks of dough and call them bagels. I have never seen a triangular bagel that was so chewy that I felt like I was never going to swallow. The asiago bagels were big chunks of dough that didn’t resemble a bagel in any shape or form.

    Went through the drive thru because we were in a hurry. Got right through, food items were correct and delicious. Will definitely go back!

    We placed an order for a dozen bagels this AM. It took them 35 minutes to prepare it(not an exaggeration). The Cinnamon Crunch bagels were 1/4 of an inch thick and burnt, the Asiago Cheese Bagels were 2/3s the diameter of a bagel, puffed up like bread bowl and awful and none of them were sliced like we requested…I don’t leave Google Reviews, but this is the 3 straight time that a Panera that we’ve been frequenting for 4 years has had abysmal service……

    My food was ready, I ordered in advance and I was picking up through the drive-through and I had to wait an additional 15 minutes. They are so freaking slow.

    I had to wait for 10 minutes after my order was ready for pickup because they never put it out on the shelf
