    Lunch hour cashier consistently rude. As if the customers are a ::bother:: to her. Food is overpriced for what you get (quality and quantity). This location is fairly dirty at least 50% of the time I’ve been there. Last, this was the last straw today. Another order that I didn’t check that items were missing from. Paid for 4 cookies, received one.

    Something happened here? I ordered a Broccoli Cheddar Soup and there was barely any broccoli and if they were, it was extremely small pieces. Plus the texture of the soup was thin, basically close to watered down. Going cheap and charging close to $10. Poor business practice, a comment from a loyal and frequent customer.

    I purchased (2) tuna sandwich from the Westwood, MA location. As a regular Panera customer, it was the 1x my tuna tasted a bit sour so we came back with the whole sandwich. The manager came out, I showed her the uneaten sandwich which is barely touched. She said she couldn’t touch the bag/sandwich so I threw it out. After walking to the trash infront of her she then stated she can’t do anything without the receipt that’s now in the trash as protocol. I was very annoyed. I walked back over pulled the sandwich the trash & showed her on my Apple Pay $29. I believe she had me go through all of that bcuz of my skin color. Terrible customer service & very disappointed

    Fresh and friendly. The new harvest medley seasonal salad is my new favorite! The Fuji Apple salad had a LOT of red onion so advise you ask for less if you have to breathe on anyone. Outdoor seating is available.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough about the amazing service at this restaurant, especially from Mauricio, Matheus, Jefferson, and Lea, this crew is amazing. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with kindness and attention. Our server anticipated our needs without us having to ask and made great recommendations. It felt like dining with friends who truly cared about our experience. Highly recommend!
