Panera Bread

This is what my warm bowl looked like when I opened it up. I thought the delivery guy went to town on my bowl. Aside from this the “warm” bowl was not warm despite it arrivg within 15 minutes of ordering. There was very Little of the toppings as u can see from my photo and tasted very dry and just very bland. I almost never give a bad review but this meal was so bad on every level… I need to mention that this is the large bowl. Only it arrived half empty. So disappointing.

Whilst the service from a very rude manager already almost ruined my appetite the 33$ charge for a small smoothie, mac and cheese that looks like it belongs in a child lunch and a sandwich that could've been bought at your local grocery for 3$ is what did it for me. If your going to have a nice lunch close by go to Williams cafe!

I really enjoyed my Uber ears order of the Green goddess Cobb salad last week and decided to pick one up when I was out at park place Today. It was not the same!! There were way too many tomatoes, barely any dressing and pickled onions, and after looking it up online apparently it’s supposed to come with bacon! I feel like I just overpaid for some lettuce and tomato and a little bit of chicken. They definitely need to do better. Consistency is key!

My hubby enjoyed his turkey avocado sandwich! The strawberry chicken poppy seed salad was so fresh, and ridiculously huge! The pineapple in it paired so well with the chicken. I would have liked the dressing to have a bit more of a bite to it, but my hubby liked it as it was. Their kettle chips were surprisingly good!

Placed a catering order for a funeral, 3 weeks ahead of the event. The order was $810 and to be picked up (no delivery needed). After placing the order, the General Manager Vu called to advise me that he could not do the order. I asked why the order could not be fulfilled and he informed me that he did not have the staff. As a manager of a business, I was very shocked that the General Manager would turn down this sale. This order was 3 weeks in advance giving plenty of time to schedule staff to make the order. If no staff, then maybe the General Manager should take on the task of doing the order to make the sales. Now, due to this poor business practice we are left trying to find other options for the funeral, plus waiting 7-10 business days for a refund back on my credit card for the order I placed. Panera Bread has great food but needs to replace this General Manager with someone who cares about the business and its customers.
