    This is a terrible panera. I'm a Member of the UNLIMITED sip club.... But here that is not honored... Very upsetting and the large cold drink is actually the size of the small in other panera breads. And no half and half. This is probably the worst panera Bread I've ever been to.

    Concourse E location Great customer service provided by Chop... I recall a time before that my order was incorrect and I was upset. This young man apologized and assured me that he would handle it and make it right. He did just that... now when I pass through E concourse even if I don't order anything I recognize him and speak. My new favorite meal is the All in Veggie bowl..... being a pescatarian I was so happy to see this option. Chop is a delight and an asset to your operation. Thanks Tina

    This is the worst panera I've ever been to. Not only that but it's the worst restaurant in the airport. Wait times are ridiculous around 30 minutes while the back moves at a snails pace. Then after waiting for 30 minutes if you don't thoroughly check your food your playing Russian roulette. Maybe they got it right maybe not. Check before you leave to catch your flight.

    I submitted an order for 5:10am and got there at 5:05. They looked closed and the people in the back wouldn’t acknowledge me. Finally they come to the front because they need to work up there and before I can begin speaking tell me “we don’t open until 5:30”. I had a flight that stopped boarding at 5:45 down the hall and they let me know the order wouldn’t be ready. I asked if they could refund my order since they were opening late - the app, airport kiosk, site and ordering system all say they open at 5am. They said only the manager could do that. I asked if I could talk to the manager to be refunded. Pat, the manager, would not come out. They told me Pat would have to take an elevator to refund the order and they were not going to do that. I reached out to Panera for a refund 5 days ago and still have not heard back. Still waiting on refund and response. Make sure you check to see if anyone is there before submitting an online order.
