    This Panera is always out of something. I have never been able to just place an order and actually get the items I ordered off of the menu in front of my face. Their drinks are always either way over-flavored or completely bland. Their cookies are always slightly burnt. I’ve learned my lesson. No more of this location until it gets new management or something.

    The food was excellent and the service was perfect. I will be happy to return in the future. It was sad to see so few people in here on a Friday when everything was so great. Hopefully they were flooded with to go orders.

    I ordered a large pick up order via the app 20 hours ahead of time for an important sales meeting. They completed my order 25 minutes late and with attitude. Not a single apology. When I unpacked my order, some of it was lukewarm and not labeled. They knew I was irritated, but I wasn't rude. The manager did NOT handle the situation well. I pre-paid, and I wish I could take back the tip I added. So disappointed.
