    Three times I ordered dozen bagels, sliced... Each time they were not sliced evenly. In fact, the person cutting them seemed to have been in a rush and did a sloppy job. Make sure you request no sliced, so you won't be disappointed and embarrassed when you serve them to guests... I am so dissatisfied with your employees doing sloppy work. I dont need to tip them in order for their intelligence to start working.

    Panera has great sandwiches. I just wish they were a bit bigger. They have kiosk ordering, then you pickup your order when it’s ready.

    Waited 1.5 hours for to go orders. My teacher coworkers and I watched our names be pushed further and further down the list. We explained we needed to get to work, and asked why our orders were being pushed further down the list. To go orders, or online orders were given priority over others. My coworkers' order was "lost" after 1.5 hours of waiting. There was an extra long line for refunds. This is not acceptable.

    I dined in and got a plastic spoon. Autumn squash soup was very good but missing the sunflower seeds. The chicken Frontega sandwich was delicious! The cashier that took my order at the counter was alright but cut me off mid speak and was more interested in whatever conversation someone else was having. The restaurant was barely busy, four people, dirty dishes on tables, and stacked at trash reception and there was trash and food on the floor. The bathroom was awful! Very smelly like dingy and wasn’t cleaned very well, mirror falling apart and the paper towels were hard to get out of device.

    I ordered a French dip sandwich, they only gave me the French dip and a baguette. How hard is it to double check a bag? I paid $30 for my meal and y'all missed a whole sandwich? 🫩
