    I recently visited Panera Bread and had an absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment I walked in, everything was spotless and clean, which made the atmosphere super welcoming. The staff was incredibly respectful and friendly, and they were amazingly fast with my order. Plus, I got a perfect portion of chips on the side, which was just the cherry on top. Overall, it was a great visit and I’d definitely recommend this Panera location to anyone looking for a quick, pleasant,

    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.
