"As someone who isn't particularly fond of hard seltzers, I often find that their flavors are too subtle for my taste. I feel the same way about regular seltzers; I just don’t see the appeal of drinks that taste like there’s barely a drop of fruit in them. That’s why I’m obsessed with Alloy’s hard soda. It actually has FLAVOR! And as a Harry Potter fan, it couldn’t get any better—it's like a delicious hard cream soda. It's not overly heavy or sugary, making it a refreshing choice for me. This has become my go-to drink, and I truly hope they keep their Butterbeer on the menu forever! The fact that they offer hard sodas means there will likely be something I’ll enjoy whenever we visit. Alloy also hosts fun events! We attended a beer poking event, which was a blast and a great way to explore how caramelization can change the flavor profiles of various beers. I even tried it with my Butterbeer, and it turned out surprisingly well! I love that they provide menus from local delivery options, so you don’t have to waste time searching on your phone to find out what’s available nearby. I’m looking forward to attending more events at Alloy and can't wait for warmer weather to check out their patio! They have a tent set up outside for milder days, but I’m not a fan of the cold, so I’m happy to wait until it’s in the 80s to enjoy outdoor dining. My experiences at Alloy have been fantastic so far, and I can't wait to see what else they offer! This may just become my new favorite brewery!"

"I can’t speak to the pizza. I gave one star for the experience… one was the lowest I could give. I am someone who writes positive reviews by far more often than negative. We decided to get Broadway pizza to celebrate my aunt’s 80th bday since the hotel was right across the street. I’d screenshot a coupon for a discount on your first online order. I went an hour early to make sure things were timed just right as the elderly and young don’t fare well if their schedules are off. I was told to download the app. It simply would not load nor send a code so I could order. Several hostess’s tried to help me, one of the staff commented that the app had problems. I asked if they would honor the coupon since it was defective. The hostess went to ask someone in the kitchen. The manager or lead person finally came to say I should come back because it might take the app a day or so after being downloaded until it would work (what?! and what?! . I explained the party was happening at that moment and asked if she was saying no to honoring their defective app’s coupon? Yes she was. We had to get pizza elsewhere and this delayed everything another hour. For a place that has 2.5 stars on yelp this was a poor business decision. It was not my fault but theirs. Instead of everyone at our party enjoying Broadway pizza, the manager’s poor decision became the topic of discussion. Staff at the hotel and others walking through the lobby of the hotel overheard and also joined the conversation. Negative experiences are very powerful. A great example for a Business 101 class. I will make sure to delete your defective app."

"I felt compelled to write a review given the tendency in negative reviews recently. first, to have an individual who is fired over a rainbow flag...to have a symbol in a company to show support for a group means "not in any way a lack of support for others. Certain individuals have been more historically marginalized and discriminated than others. a company that makes this individual known (whether coworkers or parachutes) that they are welcome does not mean that others are not. I think it's a nice gesture. secondly, there's a reason why I'm going through most of the companies avoid. whether at caribou, mcdonald’s or panera, the waiting times are almost always longer than when I simply go into and order. the number of cars is not always indicative of waiting times, as some of them could raise great accusations. I can't speak for the problems of people with false commands, but if they're in a hurry, they go in or preorder! finally, I'll go on my personal experience. I decided to dive and I ordered my own eating in a self-service kiosk that was quite user-friendly (also with a gift card.) a few other mozens ordered at kiosks and there was a beautiful young man who worked at the baker's eithek who took the time to appeal to us, thanked us for this and his help when there was any question. I ordered a paprikawurst flatcake pizza. it was quickly finished and was fresh out of the many. it was my first time to order this product and I was pleasantly surprised. pizza is one of their newer menus and I feel like quality sometimes lacks when restaurants expand their menu over their niche. the sauce and the seasoned were however quite good, the crust was perfectly cooked and I enjoyed the sausage bells. during the time I was in the restaurant, I noticed the moral of the staff there. I would say it was more than average. mostly juvenile and young adult people seemed to have enjoyed their employees and their work. friendly chit chat between them, but while they attentive to their tasks and customers. There was also someone who worked on it that I suspect that it would be a shift manager who thanked the employees and today promised them good work. it was really all together beautiful and refreshing to experience the interactions. Anyway, I almost 't ate in this special panera based on the last reviews and other options in the opposite. I am glad that my experience has exceeded expectations!"

"with the exception of my employment experience back in 2001 when they were first starting, I think Panera is Pretty awesome, their employees just maybe need a little more Team Cohesiveness and less High School Gossip, which can be said about 97% of Employment places these days as people just listen to anybody without actually verification of proof, and just hop on people because they might be listening to Human Slavery supporters who are losing out on their Meal Tickets that they make homeless and keep homeless and then when you aren 't doing anything wrong just waiting for that first cup of coffee in the morning from people who have never experienced actual homelessness it 's easy to make snap judgements or decisions that affect people very negatively and puts the word out to the community that the person must have done something wrong when they didn 't DO anything, Maybe people should be grateful for the blessings they have and leave those who are being crapped on alone as I was leaving everyone alone when I was there. Psychic Slavery is real! If you have telepathic abilities then most likely you are knowingly or unknowingly participating in MY Slavery to a Propagation, Child Trafficking zone, this is combat, they will stop at nothing to STOP someone who has lost , Forced to lose everything, it all in order to Save children, Child Pornography is huge and dates back, wayyyyy back if they never got caught you think they want to in there 80 's on up. STOP giving in to the temptation to do a stranger who might be hurting wrong. Chipotle Lesson on YouTube Phoenyxedtruth by EnigmeDefi , I don 't ask for anything, I don 't cause trouble, WHO really called this morning, please call them back and tell them to not 'trespass ' me for nothing. It made them look stupid too, eh Blaine police at least 2 stalking reports that you should have informed me about, and you send a person who 'doesn 't know me at all ' supposedly 3-5 camera feeds before he saw me this morning, don 't mess with a SLAVE who is fed up and done nothing wrong, except have the curse to be gifted with this **** while people suffer and die because you don 't come and talk to me. Spur the Police who actually give a ****, please to investigate claims before they act upon them and Laws!as well as find missing people, murderers solve mysteries, and terrorism. it is not the law that I have to identify myself without proof not hearsay of wrongdoing, which does mean I can Sue them for Lying to my face, in a threatening manner and Panera Bread, can be there before it opens there 's no, no trespassing sign before store hours*? How would you all like to become #Unowned ?"
