On a whim I decided to order some mini cookies but I was unable to finish waiting for them. A manager was lovely and offered to keep it aside for me so I could pick up after work.
Well it wasn't until past 8pm I suddenly remembered about these cookies. I rushed over and my heart sank when I saw all different staff. I asked for a manager and geared up to explain the full story and be met with confusion but he knew already what was going on and handed me my order. It had been kept aside for me since 11.45am!!
That is some serious customer service- thank you so much! You guys are an amazing team

Panera Bread is always a reliable and comfortable place to grab a meal. I especially love their avocado sandwich ,it’s fresh, flavorful, and always made just right. The ingredients taste clean and high-quality, which makes it an easy favorite.
The the service is friendly, and it’s a great spot whether you’re dining in or grabbing something quick. A solid choice for a tasty, fresh meal!

I’ve been to several Paneras in the last few months and they are all a miserable experience for the customer. From the moment you walk in, you feel out of place. If you don’t want to use the touch screen to order, you can flag down one of the staff who will reluctantly take your order. After you place an order, there is no where to stand that isn’t in the way. When half your order is ready to go, you can sort through a stack of to go backs and then try to flag down an employee to get the rest of your meal ready.
It would be one thing if the food was good but the bagel I ordered from a “bakery” came with a plastic container of cream cheese.
No thanks.
