- SRSue RetDec 16, 20251.0I usually have a good experience at Panera Bread, but today was disappointing. I ordered mac and cheese for my little one, and it was cold when we received it. The bread that came with my salad was extremely hard. My kids also wanted dessert, so we ordered cinnamon rolls and a chocolate croissant. Unfortunately, they tasted like they were more than two days old. They were dry and not fresh, which was very disappointing.
- SMSarah MantheyDec 16, 20253.0It's Panera, just like every other Panera
- WLWilliam LinkDec 10, 20251.0Worst Panera I have ever been to in terms of food and service. Don't ask about cleanliness.
- NBNikki BadzikNov 18, 20253.0The food was good. Some of the best I've had from Panera in a long time. The girl who ended up helping me was wonderful, but their ordering kiosk let me order 2 things of which they did not have, and then it put me in the queue behind 20 (yes 20) other people. I'm not sure how? Because I don't think there were even 20 other people in the restaurant. So this was very hit and miss. It will be awhile before I go back.
