- RWR.L. Waitz6 days ago1.0Horrible service. I drove over an hour to Erie, got Panera Bread as take out before heading home, only to find when I got home that 2 out of 4 orders were in the bag; there were no sandwiches. When I called to complain, I got no apology and a flippant "assistant manager " who said she couldn't drive me my order and she would "put me in the book of complaints" Maybe if the staff hadn't been so keen on discussing their weekend hotel room with the boyfriend in front of me, they could have gotten my order right. The dumbing down of America, people.
- SSShari SullivanOct 28, 20252.0Second time ive stopped in and got a bagel and pecan braid to go.gor home ..both hard as rocks!!! Guess ill stick to Yorktown panera!!!
- PEPrimal ExpressionsOct 14, 20251.0Young black lady taking my order was amazing. That same young lady was disrespected in front of customers by a blonde girl in a blue shirt who mist have been a shift leader or manager. Management shouldn’t disrespect employees because they are upset by another customer who was acting like a Karen. This manager didn’t speak to any of the other white employees the same way actually spoke to them very nice and asked instead of giving abrasive directions to the young black girl. Then proceeded to complain about the customer and the young girl to other employees after. Extremely unprofessional and sounded very racially belligerent.
- KBKarla BretzSep 22, 20255.0After a horrible experience at the 12th st location a couple days ago, I really reconsidered patronizing the corporation ever again. I’m glad I gave them another chance, albeit a different location. Bagels were perfect and I didn’t get a lecture on how I should have placed an order earlier (even though my order was in 10-15 min before the walk in). Glad there are still some good employees out there!
