- JLJon and Marianne Laitner1 day ago5.0It was all very good, except for one thing. I had to ask our sandwich/soup makers to have our bagels sliced. Also, I think $6.00 for Kitchen Sink Cookie is rather expensive. Thanks for asking.
- MPMichael PreuettDec 16, 20251.0The size of their bagels has dimished significantly. Shrinkflation at its finest. I will not be giving them my business any longer.
- SGsamuel grayDec 14, 20251.0They changed the tomato basil bread and it’s absolute garbage now. The price used to be justified. Sadly have to remove Panera from my eating out circle.
- TLTosha LindquistDec 12, 20255.0Everything was great, service was fast. But parking is for small or economy cars only. Good luck finding a handicap spot.
- KTkellie talleyDec 12, 20251.0This is ridiculous we paid $15 for bread look at the difference of what they say you’re getting and what you get. I want a refund !
