I recently visited Panera Bread and was thoroughly disappointed with my meal. The chicken noodle soup was good but barely warm. The accompanying bread was underbaked, with a moist and doughy center that made it unappetizing. My sandwich was equally disappointing, when I took a bite, the meat was chilled straight through to the core but somehow the cheese was melted, and yes I asked for the sandwich to be hot. The only redeeming part of the experience was the agave lemonade, which was refreshingly good. Overall, this visit fell far short of expectations for a place known for fresh, quality food, not worth the $20.49.

Every time I do an order on the app is has been perfect. No issues and usually done 5 min ahead of their time line. Friendly staff, always clean. Sometimes they run out of chocolate croissants!!
