Panera Bread, a popular bakery-cafe chain, has received mixed reviews from customers. While some have praised the quality of the food and the friendly service, others have expressed disappointment with the restaurant's operations.
Several customers have reported issues with the soda machine, with the "bubbly" flavor being faulty for several days and a lack of sugar-free options. Additionally, some customers have encountered problems with the restrooms being out of order.
Accuracy in order fulfillment has also been a concern, with multiple customers stating that their orders have been refunded or remade due to incorrect preparation. The drive-thru wait times have also been described as "ridiculous."
Despite these challenges, the NSB Panera location has received praise for its exceptional service, with customers highlighting the friendly and attentive staff, as well as the cleanliness of the restaurant. The food and drinks, including the Toasted Italiano and Asiago cheese bagels, have also been well-received, although one customer noted that the chicken in a salad tasted "processed/fake."
Overall, Panera Bread appears to offer a mixed experience, with some locations providing a pleasant dining experience while others struggle with operational issues. Customers seem willing to return despite these challenges, suggesting that the overall appeal of the restaurant's offerings outweighs the occasional shortcomings.
