- AWAndrew WeinbergerAug 27, 20255.0Generally very nice people who are efficient and understanding. It’s a high traffic location and one of the only food options in that part of the Health Science Campus.
- TCT CoffeyAug 25, 20251.05 visits, 5 wrong orders...dont slice, toast when you dont want it toasted, wrong cream cheese or no cream cheese and they check the receipt off with a big smiley face like the order is right. I also put order in advance....Absolutely zero excuses
- AKArtur KatsynelJul 16, 20251.0Had drink refills in all paneras except this one, so rude and ridiculous for drink that cost 5$ , also more than half self-services kiosk didn't work. Salad was not at all as shown on the picture
- TBTasha BellJul 11, 20251.0My experience today, Dasher with multiple orders takes 40 min to deliver our cold food. Look in the bag after 40 mins of waiting to have missing food. If you were out of Souffle call "Hey where out is there Something else you'd like?" Very simple. That didn't happen. oh and the$5 fruit cup with the 3 slithers of 1 strawberry, smushed old blueberries the only item I received that I ordered. So I'm hangry with no food. Plot thickens I don't get my money back I receive a "Credit" from a place I will no longer order from. Such great customer service all around TGIF!!!!! P.S. to Dashers would you pay or like cold food, while you snatching up all these orders then taking an eternity to deliver. But hey you got paid and you got the tip you didn't deserve wooohooo!!!! Yes someone pissed in my cheerio's today and no I don't feel like myself lol (Hangry feeling like Mike Tyson at this point) lmao
