    I went to the soups and Mac section of the menu to find that there’s only Mac n cheese. I hope they can manage to still have sandwiches.

    The food and drinks are normally good, but I opened my sandwich before eating it and noticed they had shoved in Italian deli meat in the top of it. In a vegetarian sandwich. Imagine doing this with cheese or shellfish to someone who has an allergy? I’m really disappointed in the quality of one of my first food orders from here in over a year.

    Look, is it a tad pricey for the portions, maybe, not really for me to argue about, it's always chill in there and has a good vibe, food is always on point and it comes out very fast so, overall 4.5/5

    I just looooove raw bagels, don’t you? I don’t know what’s been going on with this Panera location, but the bagels have been so hit-or-miss, more often miss. I got 13 bagels and from what I’ve seen of them and from the one I ate, I’m nervous about all the others I just froze. The cinnamon crunch bagel tasted like play-doh because it was raw. The asiago bagels have been pathetic. Tiny, weirdly domed, and hardly any cheese most of the time. The one I took a photo of was just insanely small. Also, screw Panera for decreasing the size of cream cheese cups but keeping them at $2/cup. That’s wild.

    Took my 80 year old mom for a late lunch. Had a Bogo $5 buy one get a 2nd for $5. No matter what i told then, they would apply it to a sandwich. The very rude lady just wouldn't listen and kept cutting me off! They applied the bogo to the cookie she said. She jet saying it didn't apply to sandwiches. WRONG!!! My husband got his bogo 2nd sandwich for $5 in Lansing today at noon! I won't go back to that location. Sorry...and when your arguing with customers...try not to yell or shout so loudly!
