    I wish I could leave this Panera 0 stars. I don’t think the staff reads the details for orders received online and just throws whatever they want into the delivery bag. I’ve ordered from here countless times and my order has always been incorrect with items that I cannot eat. The restaurant is supportive and amenable to solve the issues temporarily but it means nothing long term. Making a mistake once or twice is understandable but having my order consistently messed up is not a coincidence. Will not be ordering from here again.

    This Panera Bread is good in general. However, it has several employees like to insert the order slip into the cup. It's not sanitary. I told them several times not to do it, but I still see it happened.
