- YSYohali Sandoval1 day ago1.0Horrible service. No employees were available at the register and the kiosk did not have the pastry I wanted. I asked an employee who did not only ignore me but was extremely rude to me. These are some helpless, useless people.
- SKSam KleinNov 16, 20251.0It took 45 minutes to get our pickup order of two bagels and a muffle. Absolutely insane.
- JCJenna CNov 16, 20251.0If I could give this place zero stars, I would. The line of people sitting around waiting for breakfast was ridiculous. If you need it quick, don’t bother. And I even ordered ahead on the app and waited 25 min past my pickup time. They need to either hire more people or hire people who actually want to work. Everyone behind the counter was sluggish, slow, and you could tell did not care how long it took to get you your food. This is a quick service restaurant, however, you would receive your food faster if you went to any of the other sitdown, restaurants nearby and ordered. There are so many college kids just down the road wanting to work. I can’t believe that they don’t have a better staff. Hire more people and hire better people Panera. Sheesh.
- AAAnonymous AnonOct 29, 20251.0This place sucks but you can use it to your advantage if you have a MyPanera account. Every time you order online, the order is late, and a reward is added to your account because of it. You get an email that says “your order is running behind. We’ve just added a reward to your MyPanera Account to make things right.” Now, since I have ordered online 30+ times and not once has an order been on time, the rewards stack up. Because of this, most of my meals are discounted because of half-off or $2-dollar-off rewards. To offset the inconvenience of the order actually being late, just place the order for pickup and set the time for about an hour before you actually want to pick it up. If you wanna pick it up at noon, order for pickup at 11am.
- HJHeather JohnsonOct 24, 20251.0This Panera makes the best French Dip sandwich. That is exactly what I ordered today. It is 9am. There is no drive thru anymore. The cashier literally rolled his eyes when I requested the French dip. Seriously?! It isn't like he has tonprepare it or they aren't offering it in the mornings. I will drive across town to never deal with him again. He rolled his eyes to my face about my order. He had no name tag that I could see on his person or I would post it as well.
