    Service when ordering was poor. The staff making food was friendly. Initially left off some of the order but corrected that quickly. A bit disappointed in this visit.

    My greek salad had waaaaay too much dressing and waaaaaay to many banana peppers so much so that I could only eat about half of it before having to throw it away.

    I can't believe I am going to say this but this particular Panera is really good. The food is always fresh and tasty. And the service is always quick and friendly. I would never consider myself to be a Panera person but I make an exception for the Howell avenue one.

    All their sandwiches are too soggy and wet you feel like your drinking a shake sandwich, the bread is so tiny that it cannot hold the structure of the sandwich, thus breaking the foundation of the sandwich and causing it to be flooded with juices turning it into a soggy object

    I ordered just a mac and cheese from Panera Bread, and the packaging was really disappointing. The cup wasn’t sealed properly, and it was leaking by the time I got it. To make it worse, they didn’t even include any cutlery, so I had to find my own. For a simple order, I expected at least decent packing and the basics like a spoon. Definitely not happy with this experience.
