Staff is super friendly, and they always get my order right. The only issue is that they are regularly out of ingredients. How does a sandwich shop run out of tomatoes? And arugula? AND basil?

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!
