Got to the niles location at 6pm and they were out of Ciabatta bread - still paid regular price for soup that comes with bread and no Toasted Italiano Sandwich. They don't make own bread when they run out?? Will stick to local sub shop can't remember them running out of bread

For the first time since started frequenting Panera bread which has been well over 10 years, yesterday I purchased the steel cut oatmeal with the strawberries & brown sugar topping. I have had this oatmeal probably well over 500 times over the course of the times I have gone to this restaurant. Yesterday, my oatmeal wasn't done it was watery like soup and Luke warm. I am not sure what was going on with the oatmeal, it has never been that consistency when I would get it any other time. I know how it comes packaged into the store and I know that they put the package in the microwave to heat it up for I do believe is 3 minutes and then they pour it into the bowl and put the topping on it. I took it back up to the counter and told them that it was not done and could they fix it. So they took it back and 2 minutes later they called my name and I went up to pick it up it looked a little better until I went and sat down and realized that it was still cool and they added more sugar on tops with long with strawberries and the oatmeal was not done. I threw it in the garbage and I left. I will not go back to Panera bread. Panera has always had the best of everything. Am I going to let this one experience stop me from going again. Yes because I am not throwing my money in the garbage can. Thanks Panera bread for the many wonderful years of top-notch service until yesterday September 23rd 2025.
