    They forgot the croutons for my soup and I tried the new frozen drink. it was NOT FROZEN. I am disabled and the drink's hole in the top was NOT covered at all! I spilled about half of it because of that! WASTE OF MONEY!

    I just have to mention how amazing Emily was! She was honestly the sweetest and most patient person I’ve ever had help me at Panera Bread. She was so kind, honest, and went above and beyond — even offering options I didn’t even know existed! As a mom with kids in line, I was already a little nervous trying to order, but Emily made the whole experience feel so easy and stress-free. She handled everything with so much grace and kindness, and it truly made my day. The rest of the team was also super friendly and helpful — everyone seemed happy to assist, whether it was bringing plates to the table or just checking in to make sure we were good. Kudos to Emily and the whole Panera crew! You all made my visit 110% better than I expected. ❤️ Definitely will be coming back!

    The lady at the checkout counter said my order qualifies for a BOGO, I got a sandwich so i told her I would like another sandwich, but what she didn't tell me was the BOGO was just for a bagel.
