Everything was good except, they need to corn better. The carpeting was full of bread crumbs and you could see behind the counter, gloves on the floor, napkins etc.

Today I went into Panera bread and I was so truly blessed and a play named Vinny her kindness and sweetness went a long way today she didn't know that I needed to be encouraged I am on the verge of becoming homeless because I've been battling since 2023 to keep myself together between depression in financial situations I have been forced to ask for help and it's been low assistance and I went by this homeless man it is February 23rd and it's so cold out there I bought me and him some soup and she gave me a $5 discount and smiled and said everything is going to be okay and this homeless guy sign says anything else and that's what I've been asking everybody for anything helps.... I go to court February 24th and I have to fight for my home.... What I found is that our homeless people our families that paid late they pay the whole rent but they just paid late so I sit here with tears of kindness because somebody show me kindness today I just wanted to share the employee that really touched me

Dirty, very dirty, drink station was exceptionally dirty. No one wiped off tables. Trash on the floor
This might sound hyperbolic, but Panera Sip Club saved my life. Okay, that is a little bit of hyperbole, but it's not far off. It really came in at exactly the right time for me, providing equal parts peace of mind and cost savings. The food is good—not amazing, just good—and the bagels are a staple. I see all of the donations this place makes to local charities, and the general generosity, too. The iced tea is a problem, though. Quality varies far too much, and I don't know why. Over the past few weeks, it's tasted like sewer water. Before that, it was fine. Before that, sewer water again. Very seldom is it actually good. Pepsi is pretty much all I get now, because the Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew never taste right, pretty much like soda water. The lemonade has never been good, the papaya green tea has always been good with enough sugar added, but both are either out or disgusting on a pretty regular basis. I don't understand why they're so hard to get right consistently.

⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ Disappointed by the cleanliness and upkeep
I stopped by this Panera Bread while in Topeka, and honestly, I was disappointed by how unkempt it was. The dining area and overall space looked dirty and cluttered, which really took away from the usual Panera experience I’m used to.
I understand it was a Saturday and probably a busy day, but cleanliness and organization should still be a priority — especially for a restaurant with such a strong brand reputation.
The staff seemed busy, but a little more attention to upkeep and presentation would make a big difference. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because I usually enjoy Panera, and I’d love to see this location improve.

Very over priced on group Soup. Pictured is $45 worth of soup supposedly to feed 8 people.

Tried every day for more than 7 days, as early as 3:45, to get a sourdough bedhead bowl for my soup. NEVER GOT ONE!!!
Breakfast bagel was delicious!
