- SWShirley WareNov 1, 20252.0Love Broccoli/cheese soup but decided to do pickup order on the bacon sandwich & cinnamon roll. Neither were fresh. Called panera & they said made fresh b4 pickup. Bread was cold, lettuce wilted & small piece of bacon & larger piece of turkey or ham??? CINNAMON BUN was not fresh. This was around 5:00 so assume out all day. Called to see if fresh made & the answer was yes. They refunded cost but only item i will ever purchase again will be store bought Broccoli/Cheese soup. I only live 5 minutes away from restaurant so was even there b4 pickup time.
