PANERA RUINED THIS PLACE. This used to be my favorite part about visiting Scottsdale's Mall. We purchased a dozen cookies and a cinnamon role yesterday from a rude woman with no patience or communication skills. The cookies were DRY and disgusting like the ones you usually find at Panera, nothing like they used to be at the real Paradise Bakery. The best part was the crappy variety, whereas you used to have about 8 or more cookie choices at paradise. I was told to pick from just one tray of Dry brittle cookies that resembled their former selves but only visually. This place makes me sad, and I won't be back until Panera stops ruining it with its dry corporate bland ways.
