    I stopped by the drive through today for a simple broccoli cheese soup…that was it. Placing order no problem and no line. Quick they weren’t. I waited and waited and finally I was handed a bag. I moved my car without checking my order. I pulled over and found that the attendant put no bread . The soup was lukewarm and had very little broccoli in it. Disappointed especially when I spent $9.00 for a meal that wasn’t even fair. I’m done with Paneras due to poor quality control, food and high prices.

    I am a senior grub hub delivery driver who came to the 26 and van dyke location to pick up my order on 11/4 at 12 noon. The manager on duty was beyond rude. The restaurant didn’t have the order, I did everything to help her locate it, showed her my phone gave order number and showed the items ordered. Finally she got extremely nasty with me and said that I was there too early (I was there at the exact time my app told me to be there) and said I can leave. I said I would wait and she said no I blocked you from this order you came too early you can leave. How ridiculously rude and intolerable for a customer service establishment. Whoever is in charge should reprimand or relieve this woman of her duties. All the other managers are extremely courteous and helpful. What a scar on the reputation of Panera bread.

    This one star is not a reflection of the store, this store is actually quite nice with good service. This is a reflection of the cost savings measure by corporate Panera to eliminate fresh made bagels, particularly the cinnamon crunch bagel, replacing them with warmed up, premade bagels. Unfortunately, until they bring bag the old formula and quality of bagels, I don't think we'll be returning. There isn't a Brueggers close, but I might drive or go to Big Apple. I don't want to, you want to give my kids what they like, but lower quality and taste for increased profit isn't something we enjoy

    This place has become so slow at serving. The last handful of times I've gone through the drive thru it has taken way more then any reasonable amount of time should allow.
