Tried to order at kiosk. After spending much time making choices the kiosk "needed to take a rest" and wouldn't complete payment so I had to start all over with a very helpful employee.Chicken sandwich was ok but is it a real chicken breast or a "pattie"?

It was lovely awesome place the food was fresh and they were super kind and cool they were really nice with the kids and the kids loved itVegetarian options: They had a margerita pizza for those who don't want to eat any meat, they also have a lot of just bread with like soup if you don't want to eat anything that has meatKid-friendliness: They are very friendly with the kids and the parents, they even gave the kids some cookies since they were already talking and the store was going to close, but I totally suggest this place it's kids friendly and it had good food

The customer service is horrible at the Waterbury store. This is not the first time I entered the store and was not greeted, not acknowledged, stood there while 4 workers behind the counter were talking and complaining about what another worker did or did not do. Never offered service at all . There was only one other customer in the store at the time so being busy was no excuse.

Every so often when I go shopping for the week, I stop by Panera Bread for lunch. That's what I did today. If you do plan to stop by this Panera Bread, there's some things you need to know.The service is up and down and it really depends on which employees are working that day. Because I did a contactless order by using my mobile app, the men who were working on my order looked as though I had two heads. Now, I don't use their mobile app much, but for this location at least it seems like you are better off not ordering from your phone and just going up in person. However, it's not only for that reason. While they got my food items correct, I was supposed to get a drink with it and that didn't happen. Now, the drink itself, the Papaya Green Tea, was only a little over $3, but there needs to be better communication amongst the staff because not only did I pay for a drink I never got, I had nothing to wash down my food. And yes, there were plenty of people who came in before and after me today who got a drink, so there's NO excuse why I shouldn't have gotten mine!As for the food, I will say the food will at least fill you and is decent, but while they do serve it to you hot, it gets cold rather quickly. I will add that they do make good mac and cheese, and the flatbread chicken and bacon pizza they have is decent, both of which made up my order today. Just get a small helping if you get either. The bread is hard, but it serves well to mop up the excess cheese sauce from the Mac and cheese. As far as food I have had in the past, be VERY careful what you order! The smokehouse chicken has really cold chicken, especially if you order extra meat.Now the atmosphere is one of those things where it's suitable to some but not to all. If you're in a group of people who are, say, writing a novel, especially during NaNoWriMo's, then this serves as a great meeting spot. I know this because I attended a write-in for them back in 2017 when I did NaNoWriMo for the first time. That was a good night and a good dinner. However, if you're one of those people who want a clean spot to eat, go elsewhere. The floors I saw today were far from clean and in serious need of a vacuuming. Pieces of food were lined along the walls, which could attract ants or even mice looking for a picnic play date.I like the peace and quiet of the place, but y'all need to really run this place better is all I'm saying. If there was a way to give half a star, I'd give this a 2.5. However, I will be nice and give you a 3.
