    Delightful breakfast experience this morning. Asiago sausage, egg and cheese bagel, four cheese souffle and cherry Danish. All delicious.

    I waited for several minutes as there was no employees at the front register and when the young woman finally came up another customer jumped ahead of me as I was ready to give my order and finally I asked can you take my order now?! This is no way to run a restaurant. This is unacceptable behavior in business and I will never step foot in this panera again.

    They were out of almost everything but the staff were friendly and the food i did get was good I wanting the creamy chicken soup or something and then didn't have it but I got the chicken noodle instead and it was very good. They don't really sweeten their tea but they have liquid sugar right there so you can make it sweeter
