    I ordered the group portion of the tomato soup. It’s my favorite. The grocery store was all out for of the Safeway Signature Select Tomato Bisque soup as well as the Panera brand tomato soup which are my favorite. I ordered the group portion instead from Panera. The web site said it serves 4 so I assumed it would be plenty because we area family of three. When they delivered I knew I had been scammed. It was barely enough to feed 2 let alone 4. I went hungry tonight so the kids could eat. Very disappointed. And feel r $24 to boot. Definitely need t worth it!

    Soooooo expensive for what is served. Especially considering you ordered a counter and then pick up your own food and clean up your own food yourself. $9 for half a sandwich with 1 piece of cheese, 1/4c of meat and mayo? I feel taken

    I recently joined the Panera sip club and I love it! But the service at the commercial location is very lacking I've been in the store 3 days in a row the bathrooms are dirty they're out of toilet paper. The Lancaster location however is very clean and efficient. I love Panera and I will continue the sip club but I will do it at the Lancaster location.

    I’ve been getting their chicken walnut sandwich and it’s sooooo good! Also brought my boys home a cookie and they loved it. I’m never disappointed. The price is a bit high but the quality makes up for it.
