Another in a long line of disappointments from the Panera Bread company. What was at one time (long ago) my favorite fast casual chain has become a Crust of its former self. Now on to my experience with this location specifically. First off I used one of the electronic order kiosks, which worked fine but when it came to how I would be Summoned to retrieve my food, there was only 1 Pager thing left and it was completely dead, requiring me to give my cell number (something I don’t like doing unless absolutely necessary). Next off I ordered a You Pick 2 with a hot Caprice sandwich and Broccoli Cheddar soup in a bread bowl with french baguette and a regular Dr Pepper. Now if I remember correctly, a You Pick 2 is a half sandwich and soup. Not only was I given a monstrously huge sandwich for a You Pick 2 but I was also given a plastic spoon and they didn’t even give me the sourdough cork thing that was cut out of the bread bowl, which I like to dip in my soup as it cools. Also the fountain Dr Pepper was watery and nearly flavorless and the bread was tougher and Chewier than I remember, making my sandwich and bread bowl rather difficult to eat. I only give them 2 stars because the food tasted ok and the people working there seemed nice if a bit misguided. Also it is possible most of my grievances are more with Panera corporate than the nice people working at...

I would rate 0 stars if I could. I ordered from this place several times with no issues in the past, but today I ordered on Doordash two souffles and a grilled cheese. They called to let me know they have no more souffles and instead they can make two additional sandwiches. I refused. Why would I want sandwiches that don't keep well long-term when souffles serve that purpose? I asked to cancel the entire order which they confirmed.

I look on the app and thought it was weird it didn't cancel and continued the timer. I ordered from a diff restaurant and later I checked back on the app and it still wasn't canceled and instead said arriving 1 min with no car symbol. It also said the Dasher was Panera Bread so they were also stealing my tip. Once order completed I contacted DoorDash support to confirm if they cancelled the order or not. They did not.

I also confirmed nothing actually arrived at my address. So, they literally tried to steal my money. Luckily, Doordash support resolved the issue and gave...
