    I stop at Panera to get my Mom a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup! That’s what I know she’ll eat. Now my husband and I love their donuts cinnamon crunch bagel. He also loves the cinnamon roll. We have to get them warmed. It takes a specialist to get the temperature perfect. When I say perfect, with the cinnamon roll, the icing is warm, melty, but still on the cinnamon roll, and when you take a bite, it’s nice and gooey! The cinnamon crunch bagel is the same, and this time I tried it with the honey maple walnut! It was delicious. So thank you to the lady that served us! She was very nice, and she got a perfect 10 on our order! It was delicious. If you have tried the cinnamon bagel crunch, run! My husband likes the cinnamon roll! Don’t miss out!

    We were taken care of by Omar. We asked food suggestions. He was very kind and helpful. I had a You Pick 2 as well as my husband. I had the Carnita Elote Bowl and Broccoli Cheddar Soup with a baguette. My husband had French Dipper and Tomato Soup with chips. The only thing was I didn’t realize the Carmita Elote came with arugula. I don’t like arugula and Omar told me next time I can choose romaine and another green (forgot which). Our meal was well worth the price. 10/11/2026 at 8:22:51 pm.

    Paid $15 for a bagel with cream cheese and one other item at the drive-thru. When I got the bagel, it didn’t already have cream cheese; I needed to apply it myself. The whole reason I went to Panera Bread was for the convenience. If I’d have known Panera Bread wasn't going to apply the cream cheese, then I would have gone to Meijer and bought a bagel myself. It would have taken less time, less money, AND it would’ve had more options, like onion bagels. Did Panera Bread expect me to apply the cream cheese while I’m driving? Why did my order take so long if they didn’t even apply the cream cheese?

    Great service and friendly smiles when you walk in. Was greeted within 15 seconds of entering and while there are order kiosks, a team member at the counter asked to make sure I had been able to order.
