First time eating at Panera. Covid is causing production problems.1. Eating in you still get your order bagged so it wastes resources and you don't know what's missing until later.2. Caesar salad is very poor value! Just had a few crumbs of cheese at bottom...Read More

Panera has really gone downhill in the last few years. The portions are getting outrageously smaller, and the sandwiches are ridiculously thin. The baked goods are still pretty good... love the scones and cookies, in particular, but the prices! The prices are so high for...Read More

Never eat here. The employees don’t care about a single customer, they will not rotate food, so most of the time it goes bad, there’s bugs, even seen maggots in this place. They buy low quality food products and charge 5x as much. Workers are...Read More

Ok so why only 4 stars? Price. Everything is expensive... But everything is better, to be fair. The best deal is 2 months of free drinks if you sign up for sips... This is great especially if you're a delivery person with a Panera bread...Read More
