    They ran out of the bagel I wanted, but they were very fast to let me know so I can substitute, I order here frequently and love the staff and how communicative/friendly they always are !

    For the cost of food and drink at panera I was disappointed. The food overall was okay, my sandwhich was good. Black bean soup was okay. The associate who checked me out was very kind and patient. I am frustrated with the drink situation- I ordered hot tea. The tea bags felt off to me- looked stale/dirty if that was possible. I let the tea steep but noticed the tea was not releasing into the cup. I waited and stirred more, finally it looked okay. I took a sip and it was lukewarm, gross. I went to the counter- the associate offered to get me hot water from the back but I asked for a cold drink instead. First I tried the lemonade, it didn't taste right. I then tried unsweet tea/sweet tea-It tasted very odd and was not sweet at all. Filled it again with only sweet tea(maybe my ratio was off the last time), absolutely no flavor, very very watery and no sweetness. I then just resorted to Pepsi, I will say it was the best tasting Pepsi I have had. It didn't feel like a typical Panera experience I have come to expect.

    I read that the quality declined a huge amount since they stopped making the dough locally, and I assumed it was exaggerated since it was on the local boards and people love to complain. If anything, people didn't complain enough. I will definitely not return unless I hear they changed back. The bagels suck.
