    “Plain bagel toasted with plain cream cheese”. That’s all. Received a cold bagel, uncut, not toasted, thrown through the drive-thru window. Zero effort. Easiest order ever.

    No one else was waiting for food, ordered at the kiosk. To-go salad was fine, but the avocado was rock hard (it happens) and they forgot the dressing.

    This at one time was one of the best Panera stores around, it has gone downhill so fast it is such a shame. Last night me and my wife waited over twenty minutes for soup and a sandwich, with the store being nearly empty. The food was not good and the only thing worse then the food was the service.

    Horrible customer service. Ordered on the app to pick up 45 minutes later. My items (2 souffles and a scone) were listed as available. After I arrived, the lady told me they didn't have my order because they sold the items to someone else. I said fine then give me a refund. She said because I ordered on the app they couldn't do that. I said I paid for breakfast and if you're not going to give me a refund then you're going to go find equal value items for my breakfast. She tried to pawn off a bagel for a $20 order. I said no you need to find a comparable breakfast. At the end of the day she gave me a cold croissant with egg and cheese on it, stale and inedible scone, and over-microwaved and inedible one of the two souffles I ordered. For $20. After making me wait for 10 minutes at the window. Then what she did give me was barely warm. Never again.

    A horrible experience and I will not be eating Panera again in any capacity especially at the Medina location. Paying almost $15 for a salad that had completely frozen chicken on top with ice on it is unacceptable and disgusting. The pieces of chicken didn’t even want to pull apart because it was still frozen. Called to get a refund of the uneditable salad and they told me to come back and have them remake it or put my name on the list to get a free salad. I headed to work so it wasn’t an option, nor will I go back. They told me there was no option to refund, which is insane as everyone else can process refunds.. they’re just stealing peoples money. Go literally anywhere else and get your moneys worth.
