    I am extremely reluctant to write this review because the cashier was great and the manager was kind and attentive. The main reason I’m writing this review is because I am concerned for this particular Panera Bread not living up to the franchise standard. This establishment was placed here to give people access to the experience of Panera Bread and it does not seem that certain employees who work there value that standard. Normally, I go here with my friends to study and it’s usually a neutral environment. I’m accustomed to seeing homeless people, students of all ages, business people, and church groups. What I am not accustomed to is music being played from the kitchen area, overpowering the calmer music played in the front area. This really degraded my experience and it is really unfortunate that this experience is happening in this community due to some failures in training or lack of care. I hope the Panera crew sees this review and gets some training conducted or hire people that understand how to be professionals that maintain the standard and experience.

    Went through drive thru. Why is it so hard to put everything in the bag. Who has time to turn around and go back to have them correct the order. They get you through the drive through every single time. Disappointed 😞

    Ordered 4 sandwiches for delivery. Only got three. I send a complaint that I didnt get my full order, and the auto system gives me store credit for only the value of the sandwich. Not tax, delivery, or already paid tip. Insulting. No way of communicating with anyone to fix the issue.
