- DHdeborah houchin5 days ago2.0Dirty, very dirty, drink station was exceptionally dirty. No one wiped off tables. Trash on the floor

- ATAgent TomcatDec 14, 20254.0This might sound hyperbolic, but Panera Sip Club saved my life. Okay, that is a little bit of hyperbole, but it's not far off. It really came in at exactly the right time for me, providing equal parts peace of mind and cost savings. The food is good—not amazing, just good—and the bagels are a staple. I see all of the donations this place makes to local charities, and the general generosity, too. The iced tea is a problem, though. Quality varies far too much, and I don't know why. Over the past few weeks, it's tasted like sewer water. Before that, it was fine. Before that, sewer water again. Very seldom is it actually good. Pepsi is pretty much all I get now, because the Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew never taste right, pretty much like soda water. The lemonade has never been good, the papaya green tea has always been good with enough sugar added, but both are either out or disgusting on a pretty regular basis. I don't understand why they're so hard to get right consistently.

- DNDominique NashNov 8, 20252.0⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ Disappointed by the cleanliness and upkeep I stopped by this Panera Bread while in Topeka, and honestly, I was disappointed by how unkempt it was. The dining area and overall space looked dirty and cluttered, which really took away from the usual Panera experience I’m used to. I understand it was a Saturday and probably a busy day, but cleanliness and organization should still be a priority — especially for a restaurant with such a strong brand reputation. The staff seemed busy, but a little more attention to upkeep and presentation would make a big difference. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because I usually enjoy Panera, and I’d love to see this location improve.
