    The service was great. The food was excellent. The manager even came over to see how we were doing and chatted with us. We wish there was a Panera closer to where we live because it's always so cozy to get a bite to eat and some pastries to take home.

    The lack of competence is astounding. In recent years, the quality of service has gotten progressively worse. Today, we ordered two bread bowls and only received one. The drinks (which had those lids intended for straw insertion) did not come with straws. We waited 30 more minutes than what was projected. Just to note, the employees can be heard having endless conversations in the back... which probably factors in with the lackadaisical performance.

    Had to dispute a charge with my bank because I had to call and cancel an order that I was no longer able to pick up and requested a refund. I was told they would do that for me but I never got my refund even though I never picked up my food and they told me that they would issue a refund for me. Not happy they stole my money
