    i have always loved panera, but i guess something has changed in recent years. the bagels are now super thin, instead of big & thick like they used to be, and the tub of cream cheese i bought tasted like absolutely nothing. quite literally like water. i hope things change. such a shame for a place that used to be so good.

    Our office catered lunch was perfect! Milton went above and beyond for us. Everything was perfect and couldn't have been any better. Milton is a "Rock Star!" All of the sauces & sandwiches were labeled and packed perfectly.
