- SPS Paradise2 days ago1.0Watched an employee use the bathroom then walk out without washing her hands. How disgusting.
- KWKathryn WrightNov 17, 20251.0I went through the drive thru and was the only one in line. It took over 20 minutes and the crew was slow and unfriendly. No sense of urgency.
- NHNick HNov 3, 20252.0I like Panera, but this one isn't on top of their game. Ordered two breakfast sandwiches (ham, egg, and cheese), and neither one came with cheese. Hazelnut coffee bin was empty at 9:30am.
- JEjulie earpOct 15, 20251.0SLOWEST PANARA EVER! will never come back to this one! I am behind one car in the drive thru to pick up an online order and have been sitting here behind this car for 15 minutes!
- LBLindsay BlackfordOct 3, 20251.0I love Panera Bread- but every single time that I order from this location in particular (the closest to my home) my order is completely incorrect. I don't know why I keep doing this. I'm going to eat it because I'm sick and don't feel like going to argue with someone about it- but good lord. Change management or something.
