    Panera is good but if you get a bagel, FYI they give you a very disappointing amount of cream cheese. This is probably my fault for not having got a bagel in a long time, but I was so excited for a big bagel with lots of cream cheese. Back in the day panera would schmear the cream cheese for you and it would just be as thick as you could possibly want. Today I got a tiny 1.5 Oz container. That is three tablespoons if you manage to scrape every bit out of the tiny container. I literally would have preferred two of those on each half, but i went through the drive through and by the time i got home it was too late. The bite size serving of cream cheese was spread so thin I had to supplement with butter just to cover the bagel with a millimeter thin layer. To spend 5 bucks on a bagel and cream cheese and get home and pull this out of the bag was incredibly disappointing, no respect for the schmear. Still giving decent stars because the food was good and now knowing this, I guess I will just shell out for 4 containers of cream cheese next time, but at that point I will probably just bring my own cream cheese....

    I think I found possibly the worst Panera Bread in the country. At least it's the worst one that I've ever been to. Walking in, the building was clean and everything looked fine. Just like every other Panera. The cashier seemed new so I don't blame her for any of this but, I think the shift manager was helping her so therefore this was very disappointing. First of all, they were out of baguettes. We were told this only after we had already ordered a sandwich made on baguettes and also ordered baguette as the side. So we changed course and ordered 3 sandwich combos. We got 2. Never called our name loud enough to hear them. After waiting for what felt like 20 minutes or more, we decided we were tired of waiting and left with what we had. And when we got to the truck to leave we realized that there were no sides (chips) in the bag with the sandwiches. After my wife went back in and corrected the sides problem we thought that it couldn't get worse, but then my wife unwrapped her sandwich and it looked like the picture below. It looked like someone had mugged it before they wrapped the paper around it. I absolutely do not recommend anyone ever stopping and eating at this Panera. If they don't care for the customer more than they showed on this day they do not deserve the business. Funny thing is I remember while I was sitting there waiting that a lady came in from the drive-thru because they forgot her sides. So apparently that is not an uncommon problem. So definitely check your order before you leave the premises.

    This drive through is so consistently BAD. The longest wait times no matter the day, time or how many cars are in line. There was 2 cars ahead of me and I am currently still waiting for my food. It has been 45 min to get an iced coffee and breakfast sandwich. There are multiple reviews for this location that this isn’t an isolated issue but nothing seems to be different. This is absolutely insane and to top it off you can’t get out of the drive through you’re stuck. Something seriously needs to be evaluated here.

    How do you run out of yogurt cups? Just make more yogurt cups. Out of yogurt, granola, and fruit? It’s possible to buy more! This restaurant frequently runs out of everything. Lettuce! Dressing! Cheese! Hard boiled eggs!
