Panera Bread, a popular cafe chain, has received mixed reviews from customers. While some customers enjoy the food, others have experienced issues with cleanliness, staff efficiency, and availability of menu items. One customer praised the grilled cheese sandwich with tomato as the best they've had, noting that vegetarian options like adding tomato are available. However, recent visits have highlighted cleanliness problems, with the restaurant being dirty, crumbs and dirt on counters, and bagels on the floor. Restrooms have also been reported as dirty, and the overall environment appears rundown. Despite friendly staff, there are concerns about staff struggling with their roles and the need for better training from management to restore a clean and inviting space. Service times have varied; some customers noted long waits, while others experienced quick service, especially with online ordering. The restaurant environment has been described as both clean and rundown at different times. Food quality remains a highlight, with some praising the taste, but recent experiences with menu items like the Steak & Wake sandwich have been disappointing due to skimpier portions and minimal cheese. Overall, while the food can be excellent, inconsistent cleanliness and service affect the overall experience at this location.
