- JCjas candOct 24, 20251.0Went to get my food in the drive through and the lady was so rude at the speaker and at the window
- JRJack RestivoOct 16, 20251.0I went to the drive-thru this morning & I am just so disappointed. It was over $10 for a bagel w/ cream cheese & an iced tea & when I opened the bag, they had not even put on the cream cheese. I obviously can't spread ice cold cream cheese while I am driving so it had to wait until I arrived at my destination- at which time its totally cold & stale and useless to me. It's just an unfortunate waste of time and money that I will not be repeating.
- DSDyan SierraSep 25, 20251.0I was so disappointed in this Panera location yesterday! I went to the drive thru and it was clearly a mistake. Got the U pick 2 creamy tomato soup and a chicken avo blt and it was the worst excuse for a sandwich I have ever seen in my life. NO bacon, one teeny slice of avo and about 4 tiny chunks of chicken that was falling out of the sandwich, too much mayo and 2 slices of thick cold cheese on sourdough. I picked out the few chunks of chicken and ate the soup out of desperation but it was thin and pretty flavorless. It wasn't an inexpensive lunch but next time I will be sure to get out of the car and walk into the nearby whole foods market instead for a better quality meal that is full of flavor! I paid the price for convenience in this case and won't do that again! I also don't know that I will ever visit a panera again as their sandwiches rarely have much meat or protein in them...not the best option!
