Disappointed with the new menu change and the removal of all the "bowls."The atmosphere would be great if the store layout was a bit different, but those doors on the West side slam so much, it is impossible to work over in that nook which would otherwise be a perfect study area.I like that Panera donates their overstock to non profits and they will give hungry/houseless people something to eat (wish they would do more or other businesses would follow suit).Dietary restrictions: They got rid of the bowls which were bread free.

I ordered catering service for a big event and I experienced some of the best customer service I ever had. An employee named Andrew helped me over the phone and was incredibly patient. He answered all my questions and helped me to perfect my order. This is a great location to cater an event!

I went through the drive-thru and placed an order only to get home which is quite a distance and had the wrong sandwich. Attempted to call the store three times, picked up all three times. Immediately hung up. I emailed the customer service line about the issue, and no response as well. Thank you so much for your lack of customer service Panera. It's good to know that your employees can mess up, and you will not hold them accountable.

This place has gone completely downhill. The prices are too high for what you get. They’re always out of bread or the one that goes with your order. The place is dirty, staff can be clueless. Not all the staff is bad but the good ones seem to leave.

Do not order Teriyaki chicken broccoli bowl if you're hungry. It is way too small for $13.89. I thought It is a kids meal.

All I ordered was 2 drinks and a single bagel on my lunch break, took my entire 30 min break to receive a bagel. It took me taking initiative after seeing countless orders come and go before finally getting what I ordered. Had I not asked about it, I would've never received it. However, they apologized and corrected the issue so I cannot complain too much. Usually have good service here.

Not a regular restaurant we used to. I have at least one meal daily at the restaurant. But this Carbondale place sucks. I have been using them for last 15 years when I was in St Louis! NOT ANY MORE. DON'T GO THERE. They don't deserve our business.

Lately this store has had issues with cleanliness. 3:00 pm and no clean tables. Coffees were empty and the employees do not seem to care.
