    Panera used to have food that was better than fast food. Now it’s worse. The chicken that comes on salads is dog food quality. It’s the texture of gel. Made me gag. Also could your food portions be any smaller? I used to get full on a salad here.

    Fresh bakery, comforting soup, and much more! You should also try the new sip club. Fresh coffee daily!

    Had to wait over 25 minutes for 2 bagels and a cup of soup. The cup of soup was lukewarm and was less than half full....maybe 3 ounces of soup for $7. They've gone so far downhill that I can't imagine ever going there again.

    Ordered online for pickup at the drive-thru and ended up stuck in line for 25 mins waiting as other cars ordered or were also waiting. Meanwhile my order sat inside. They never had cars pull forward to park and wait. I couldn't pull out of the lane to go inside and ended up l being late for an event because of this. Do better.

    Staff are nice people. The food may take a minute but it's no worry. The guy at the drive through was especially kind and left a 😋 on my receipt.
