    I have an egg allergy. Since Panera has an allergen menu, I'm usually confident in looking up what to order and have never had problems in the past. They also allow you to add your allergen to your order, which helps add a bit of confidence that the kitchen staff will be mindful of what you order and avoid possible cross contamination... Today I ordered the Chicken Pesto Dipper, which does not list egg as an ingredient online. When I got my order home and bit into the sandwich, I realized my sandwich was made with a jalapeño spread, not pesto. Online it says the jalapeño spread contains mayo which is an egg based ingredient. Not only was my order wrong, it was very wrong considering egg allergy was even noted on the receipt as having been double checked. I won't return to this location because I would not trust them with my allergen concern.

    I had a very disappointing experience at this location. I waited in the drive-thru for over 20 minutes for a single bowl of soup, including about 10 minutes at the pickup window. During that time, I could see multiple staff members standing around, talking, and not taking orders seriously. When I expressed my concern about the wait, the response from the staff was dismissive. It was clear they did not care. I’ve always enjoyed Panera, but the customer service I received this time was unacceptable

    Consistent unhelpful service. Typically no one is at the counter, which requires to to go find someone. When you find them, they are full of attitude.

    Haven't had a single item from there that didn't seem fresh and taste amazing.
