    The staff is so accommodating and helpful. They always take accountability for mistakes and go above and beyond to make things right. Manager Ebony is a class act.

    I bought a product that was supposed to contain steak, but there was no meat in it. I think this was done intentionally because I've had the same problem before. The product I bought was Ciabatta Cheesesteak, and it only contained cheese and other ingredients, but no meat.

    During my visit, I saw multiple roaches crawling around different areas of the restaurant. This is absolutely unacceptable for any food establishment. I even emailed Panera directly with photos a month ago, but no one ever bothered to reply. That lack of response says a lot about how seriously they take customer concerns and health standards. I won’t be coming back, and I strongly suggest others think twice before eating here until the infestation is addressed.
