    Stay away from the Silver Spring location, poor food quality, always seem to mess my order up, and why do they make a habit of throwing baquettes in bags w/o it being wrapped? I tried contacting help several times and I always run into an error. I have read many articles chronicling the downfall of Panera, and I agree. Stay away from the downtown Silver Spring location.

    Sad to say this, but will not be coming back. Isn't safe; homeless everywhere. Dishes all over the place. I've been to many Panera Breads and this one was the worst by far. No kiosk. I'm use to seeing the picture of the sandwiches. And I was missing alot of the stuff I typically put on my ice coffee. Probably because the homeless run wild here.

    I ordered a Caesar salad from this Panera Bread location, and the cheese in the salad had a very strong chemical taste. I immediately spat it out and rinsed my mouth several times because it clearly wasn’t normal food flavor. I later contacted the Poison Control Center, and they said it was likely cleaning residue. Thankfully, I didn’t swallow any and I’m okay now — but this was a very concerning experience. Please take food safety more seriously and make sure your preparation surfaces and tools are properly rinsed and free of any cleaning chemicals before making food.
