    I just bought a $6 yogurt. It is joke. There is literally 1 tablespoon of yogurt with a few strawberries. No blueberries, nothing. These used to be the best parfaits now they are child size rip offs. Never again. Had I seen it before I got to the office I most definitely would not have purchased it. Save your $$ go elsewhere for yogurt. So disappointed

    Terrible wait time. Not a good chain restaurant if you are on a time crunch.

    I visited in the evening and the staff were not knowlegable about the avaliabity of sandwiches. The cashier was unable to give correct change or make my smoothie. The manager did kindly make me smoothie and apologize.

    Huge Panera fan but I guess I’ll have to find a new favorite spot employees are rude and this isn’t the first time that I’ve paid for a smoothie half way filled ..
