I initially thought that the experience might decline after the initial launch, but I still enjoy coming here. Also, I have to mention that the new asiago bagel breakfast sandwich is fantastic!

I was surprised to see so many homeless individuals in the area, making it feel like the place could really use some security. It's concerning to note that the soup (Brot Suppe) is often running out, and the bread is frequently unavailable.

(probably, to avoid slow times, so do not see that they are always behind) so that I simply wait patiently at the counter in the back. I saw my name on the entrance in big bold letters when she put it on the counter. she has fallen and started screaming at me and saying that is not for her that is for quick picking! not for delivery! You're not gonna steal what I told her twice, that's mine in derrick. I literally wanted to pull my wallet out so my handy could prove to her that it was actually mine. I have a white name for a black person, and that's not the first time that this happened to me at this place. After she knew she was wrong, she didn't apologize. she said, ohh then stopped because she knew she was wrong. this was at 8:40 on the 27th juli 2022.

At some point around 2009 I stopped eating this sandwich cold pumpkin (from no particular reason) and it has not been craved since then. until recently. the free, one-month unlimited coffee of panera lured me into their bakery last month and the small ordered touchscreens invited me to see if my delicious sandwich still existed. and yes, that's all. So, for the last few days when I pick up my coffee, I was trying to see if I can simply build my own version of the sandwich (no feta, extra peppadew, extra gurke, extra red tweepers, no emerald green, spinat add) and oh my gosh it played perfectly! in the old days it was always risky to trust in a person for my many special requests. the little ordering tablets made sure I could have it on my wise. the only difference between my old school sandwich and now is that I no longer eat milk (which in 2010 did not start a Feta request). and the sandwich would be absolutely incomplete without a cheese-like addendum; but panera has already solved this problem because the sandwich now comes with hummus! So I ordered extra, and I'll tell you that! it was a perfect experience from ordering to eating. my head was on cloud nine. this bakery has made a phenomenal job. in that I've been ordering this sandwich six times in the last week! I'm in love. Many thanks for the careful time that their bakery invests to be friendly to the customers and to perform a perfect sandwich construction!
