    This place blows. Customer service is ridiculous. Why do I show up 10 mins after ordering and still have to wait another 10 mins for my food to be ready? It's an egg sandwhich and a bagel!? And there's no one in line. Truly pathetic this is.

    Had a issue with an order. I approached an employee, manager (I hope) Her name tag looked like KM or Ki. Later found it was Kim. She fixed my food, personally I think. I never stop at Panera but WOW. I will definitely be exploring this chain closer. I live in Marysville Ohio but the Hilliard location seems to have it great. Hope Kim is the Manager up here.

    Online order has issue and took away $5 coupon. The worst is having a fiber coupon then losing it for some dumb tech garbage food
