    Try to order online for pickup. Online told me they were out of broccoli and cheese bread bowl? Sort yourself out. Got to the store to actually order the bread bowl in person and there was no one at the counter. Forced to use one of the kiosks. Again sort yourself out.

    Panera really speaks for itself. The food is always good, made fresh and fast! I enjoy the pick 2 option because I like a little of this and a little of that! And the baked goods are delicious!

    This is the worst Panera bread location and it’s mostly due to their customer service. Disgusting attitude by the employee. There was a guy at the counter with red shirt gave me such bad attitude. I had ordered a drink and simply asked him do I pick up the drink here? He gave me attitude like “isn’t there someone there at the other side, go there”. They had no customer there. The guy with the red shirt was talking to another employee. She kindly was saying “oh someone should be there to make your drink”. But the guy with the red shirt has bad customer service skills. Don’t know how to talk to customers. I waited like 15+ minutes just to get a drink. It’s crazy!! Panera bread do better and educate your employees for better customer service.
