This was my first visit to this location.
After ordering through the app, I waited for my coffee and bagel.
It did not come for a few minutes, and I had not been offered a cup for the coffee.
It turned out that the app had not logged my order for coffee.
When they brought up my order, they told me I had not ordered coffee.
I was rudely to the workers. If I could do it again, I would be nicer.
I took my bagel and cream cheese (without coffee), and left.
When I opened the bag to eat my bagel, I found it was not toasted or even sliced. It was refrigerator cold.
I like the coffee and the food at Panera, but my experience there has been spotty at best.
The app has not worked out well for me either.
