    I never got food. No person to take orders, just a kiosk. I hate ordering on kiosks. I'm tje last person in my family that even considers Panera and you just ran me out. Coffee wasn't on the kiosk. Cookies that were in the bakery weren't on the kiosk.

    I’ve been ordering from here for about a month. The food is fine, but they often forget to include my dessert and drink, and the tables and floors are frequently dirty.
