    Went to Panera in California, MD this morning to have breakfast. As usual, the food prep staff were efficient/speedy, but the front counter folks were a joke and behaved as if they couldn't care less if we were there. The food was quite good, but the coffee was monstrous. It was weak and off-flavor, meaning it tasted watered down.

    By fair one of the worst Panera’s. Never any clean tables in there, floor always sticky and dirty, tables sticky. ALWAYS check the amount of meat you have on your sandwich because they put so little. They NEVER give you the pickle that COMES WITH your sandwich. If you change anything about your order ALWAYS CHECK because they will ignore the modifications every single time. It’s ridiculous.

    Food and service are consistent. Dinning area never seems quite as clean and put together as it once was but it's still ok.
