    I ordered a bread bowl soup and it was a complete disappointment. The portion was kid-sized, which makes no sense for a soup that costs around $10. On top of that, it arrived cold, and the bread bowl (from a place literally called Panera Bread) was hard frozen in the middle after waiting 25 mins cause she said “it in the oven”. This was my first and definitely my last time eating Panera ever. I’ve never felt so disrespected by a meal. The only redeeming thing is the coffee at least that’s hard to mess up.

    I ordered online for drive through pick up. The bag holding the soups was drenched, soup spilled everywhere and on my daughters lap! The lid was obviously faulty and they still chose to serve burning hot soup this way. They were giggling and talking amongst each other on the headset when I approached them about it. The staff is definitely a liability to this business.

    I placed a mobile pick-up order today and the staff were so sweet, from the cashier to those food prepping! I ordered the squash soup and mediterranean veggie sandwich, which were all both great!
