What reviewers say elsewhere

  • “The food is delicious but this is the 3rd time that I’ve ordered the spicy steak bagel and customized it to have no arugula and every time, they put it on it. I’m not sure if the staff just doesn’t care to read the customizations or what…”

    — Alexis Thomas, September 25, 2026 · google

  • “Over $4 for a bagel toasted with cream cheese through the drive thru. I asked for it be cut in half and it wasn't and even in the drive thru they don't spread your cream cheese. Had to pull over to assemble it myself before continuing on.”

    — Joe Flaig, September 25, 2026 · google

  • “Good Panera location. Love that they didn't want some homeless guy loitering playing music while not buying anything.”
