The Fontega "panini" I had was the worst I've ever tasted from here. Paninis should be pressed, not baked in the oven. When I brought this up to the staff, the girl informed me that their cooking method has changed. As I left, I overheard them mocking my comment about how paninis should be made. If you can’t prepare them properly, don’t call them paninis—just refer to them as regular sandwiches. It’s really disappointing to see Panera declining. This used to be my favorite place, but that's no longer the case.

The portion sizes were small, and the food lacked flavor. Instead, I recommend visiting the Panera in the Market Basket Plaza on Woodbury Ave in Newmarket, NH. I've always had a great meal there and have never been disappointed.

I only gave it 1 star because there was barely any service at all. The cashier suggested that I order online or use the kiosk instead of her taking my order, claiming she was too busy. The salad I received was just a sad handful of wilted lettuce.

I remember when ALL the Souffles flavors became PANERA menu items. They were always,YUMMY! then...always served hot creamy crispy instead of soggy cold. NOT worth the $8.00 I spent over past few weeks forthis soggy, almost warm breakfast pastry. NEVER AGAIN! I HAVE LEARNED MY LESSON AT THIS PANERA......SBUX is right up thestreet! and much, much better!

I ended up leaving without any food, feeling disappointed and frustrated with the apathetic staff.
