I walked into this Panera Bread, in Apex NC. Store number is 1001. I waited a really long time to place my order. Finally, after a long wait, I tried to order some of their pastries. NOTE: Flies on their pastries. The guy behind the counter saw that I was watching the flies eat the pastries that this place was selling. I walked out.
- Do not come here
- Flies on the food
- Wait time is EXCESSIVELY long!

I came here for lunch and was disappointed by the wait and the fact that they were out of chips. Not sure why this isn’t being communicated as people place their order instead they placed a piece of bread on the tray. I waited to speak with Juan, and while I was speaking with him, another woman came in to return her bag and mentioned that she also didn’t receive chips. He completely stopped speaking with me to accommodate her, offering her a beverage and dessert which was very rude.
When I asked what substitutions he could offer me, he suggested an apple or bread. Why would I want a side of bread with a sandwich? I then asked if I could substitute mac and cheese, but he said no because of the price difference.
Quite frankly, I didn’t feel like he cared to resolve the issue with me, and he wasn’t nearly as apologetic with me as he was with the other guest. He eventually offered me apple chips, but by that point, the interaction had already left a bad impression.
I actually tried to address this directly rather than immediately leaving a review. I asked one of the employees if Juan could come speak with me when he had a chance, but he never came over. I don’t want to assume that the difference in treatment was racially motivated, but I also can’t ignore how differently I felt I was treated.

Good service, and staff is welcoming and polite. The restaurant is clean and well kept. Three stars because the store ran out of baguettes. I guess it’s a result of stupid upper management decisions of sending frozen bread instead of making it locally.

This place has gone downhill quickly! This use to be a nice place to grab a quick bite. Now, nothing is stocked, coffee is always empty, iced coffee is watered down brown water, cups don’t have lids, orders don’t get fulfilled if they are out of stock of an item and don’t tell you. Nobody is around to help you and it’s almost as if the employees hide to keep from dealing with customers. Last couple times I’ve been there, it has taken over 20 minutes to get a bagel and iced coffee, just to find out the coffee is watered down and it will be “10-15” minutes for them to make another watered down batch. This is by far the worst Panera in the area.

Came in to get a salad and sandwich for lunch. Upon receiving a text that my order was ready, I noticed that my sandwich was missing, and my salad did not have a dressing. When I asked for a dressing for my salad, the team manager, Juan, proceeded to take my salad off of my plate and give it to another customer with no warning. I had to ask the other workers to remake my salad.
