    100% the worst Panera bread experience you could be subjected to. Especially after being to better establishments. We ordered the French onion soup in a bread bowl, and there was literally no broth. You’d expect the bread to soak it up, except the bread on the bottom was dry. When we took it back to the counter, the employee said (with a straight face) we should’ve ordered the regular bowl, and the bread bowl with it on the side, as if that’s a normal thing to do. I settled and went back to our table and tried to continue chewing our soup. Two bites in was absolutely enough for me, and I went back and asked for at least more broth for the bowls, as we were CHEWING OUR SOUP. The excuse this time was that they haven’t sold the soup all day so it has gotten thick. I’m writing this at 1:03pm. We received out order at 12:39. They’ve been open since 7, and they close at 9pm. Also, the lemonades are disgusting. The pomegranate flavor especially tastes like fabuloso. All around has declined since my last visit & though I’m a local, I’m never coming back here.

    Service is bad and food arrived later than promised. Food had missing ingredients, like hummus on my Mediterranean veggie sandwich. Not even cut properly, veggies all over the place. Disappointed and will not order at this store again.

    This location makes Panera Bread look really bad. I've been here at opening, at lunch and at closing time and at none of these times have they had all bagels baked. I don't understand how a store can open in the morning and already be out of certain bagels. I had to drive to another location just to get what I wanted and that is unacceptable.
