- YDYvonne DuncanFeb 10, 20261.0Worst experience ever in a Panera. Hey executives, visit your store once in a while, your reps are the worst!!!
- AJAndreas JahnJan 2, 20261.0The food at this Panera Bread is actually quite good, and considering it’s located in an airport, the value for money is perfectly acceptable. However, the service was absolutely abysmal. The front-of-house staff seems completely disinterested and lost. My advice: Avoid interacting with the staff if possible. Your best bet is to order everything via the kiosks or the app and just hope that your order comes out correctly.
- MMMOIJan 1, 20262.0Many items on the menu were sold by 8pm. I ordered soup and baguette...should have looked inside right away. By the time I got to my gate and opened the bag, no baguette. Will call them to see how they will reimburse me for that.
- AAAngelaDec 19, 20251.0Ordered a chicken avo sandwich with an apple for the side. Received beef instead of chicken (how do you mess that up?!) and no apple. I wish I would have looked on google reviews before I ordered so I didn’t waste my money
- JBJacob BainNov 30, 20251.0Lack of service. Not a good experience this go around.
