Panera Bread,

2260 US Highway 70 Southeast, Hickory, NC 28602

"We stopped at Panera on our 5 hr drive to see family for Xmas. We are eating only a whole food plant based diet. Panera is one of the few reliable restaurants where we can get that type of food. My wife and I both ordered Mediterranean bowls with no cheese or tzatziki sauce and specified extra hummus instead of the cheese. We enjoyed our lunches with their lemonade and half unsweetened tea. Delicious. The only issue is you cannot order this using their automated ordering app in the store. They need to give people an option to customize an order."

"This looked like someone’s leftovers. The meal was cold and the chicken dry. I guess it was a blessing I only got half a bowl!"

"I ordered the Mediterranean Bowl with Avocado and this is what I received. The salsa is not even an ingredient. No avocado even though I paid extra for it. No cucumber. This is the SECOND time they screwed it up. I waited a couple months so they could figure out how to properly make before ordering again. Won’t make that mistake a third time."

"Most disgusting dirty Panera Bread. Short changing customers. When we checked out and paid cash, the cashier said here is $8.15. I don't have any penny's. The proper change should have been $8.17. I spoke with the manager and it appeared she was having a hard time deciphering that she was short changing customers because they did not have change in the cashier drawer. I told her you do not shortchange customers you give them them an overage. If this is Panera Bread's corporate policy then perhaps the local district attorney should be contacted. It is not about a few pennies but simply the principle of the matter. Take a look at these pictures and see how nasty and dirty this panera bread is. My wife went to the bathroom and found what you'll see in the picture and advised the employees. I gave the little girl employee $20 because I saw that she was sent back to clean this nasty female toilet. Crumbs on all of the tables. Spill drinks on the counters simply disgusting. Simply bewildered! As an owner of 3 small businesses to include a non profit, these employees and management would not be tolerated not one more day. Total loss of confidence to eat at Panera Bread. Panera Bread's new company name, "Pathetic Bread.""
