Panera Bread - Carpentersville

I think the food here is always good quality. However I feel like every other time I come here they are out of bread. How do you run out of bread when it's in the name.

The location and employees are fine.My complaint is with the inflation of prices coupled with the shrinkflation of size/quality of baked goods.1. The pecan braid was replaced with a smaller, low quality, bakery thing 2. Now I find that the chocolate croissant has been replaced with a smaller, low quality, bakery thing .When I pay $30+ for two breakfast sandwiches, two coffees and to pastry items I expect pastry not ****.I don 't blame the employees but if I were them I would be ashamed at what some slimy middle or upper management tool has done to the reputation of this company with their crappy pastry quality and size shrinkflation.

Is the 3rd time I came to this location and the tables were very sticky and dirty, I’m not coming back to this place.

I just had the worst coffee ever in many years of loving my local Panera. I specifically asked for decaf with extra cream Splenda. I got home and the coffee taste like burnt regular coffee so definitely NOT DECAF and very little cream. I needed to start work shortly so I didn't have the option of going back and stating my disappointment so going forward I will either not, or, go inside to place my orders because drive ins are no longer the quality of serve we've had in the past . This kind of service makes me look forward to having robots taking orders at drive throughs, at least they will listen more carefully to the customer's requests.

Waited half an hour for my food today and they didn't even get my order right. Also no spoons for 3 soups? Lame.
