We have subscribed to their unlimited coffee plan for months and this was our first time seeing that all the coffee wasn’t served in hot fresh. Hence, we were disappointed with their service at this location. The indoor dining is currently available and their safety procedures for COVID-19 is pretty good. The staff checked temperature for every customer and kept social distance between tables.

This raised concerns about the bacteria potentially transferring to the bread located in the front area near the sink.

I ordered a sandwich from Panera Bread, but my order was incomplete; my soup was missing, and the avocado in my sandwich was hard and unripe. Fortunately, I was able to retrieve my soup, but I can't understand why anyone would think it's acceptable to serve avocado that you can't even bite into. This is simply unacceptable!
