    They were out of strawberry smoothies. We didn’t get our mac and cheese which we ordered and payed for. We got a little soup instead which we didn’t order. So I didn’t even get to eat the meal that I wanted. I didn’t want the soup I wanted the mac and cheese that we ordered and payed for.

    This is the best Panera I’ve ever been to. They found out my wife was pregnant and decided to hook us up with an extra sweet deal just to be nice. Always taking care of the community!
