As a Missouri girl born and raised, I get so excited every time I can eat at BreadCo. This one was clean, the staff was nice, and the food came out quickly!

Paid 29 dollars for an order here tonight that I picked up for my mom and I. I ordered a pick two with soup and a sandwich and ordered my mom a soup and an Asiago bagel. Got home and of course the Asiago bagel is missing. Tried looking for the receipt so I can come back to the restaurant, not in the bag. So how do I fix this? I can’t. So now I’m out of half the money and an upset mom. Next time we want Panera bread, we’ll just pay the extra money and have it doordashed instead of picking it up myself or go to a different location. Very disappointed!
