Panera Bread

  I really enjoy Panera!
  There aren't many local places you can feel good about the quality of food and what's in it, but Panera makes it easy. Free range, natural fed chicken and turkey ... fresh greens that actually taste natural! The salads are incredible and service has always been friendly and helpful.
  
  I enjoy the breakfast sandwiches they have as well, and the fact I can get an egg white & spinach on whole grain to start the day off right when I'm in a rush, vs. the option of high grease, high fat fast food options I will always pass up.
  
  I'm glad Panera thrives in this community. They do it right, and the food speaks for itself.

  I remember when Panera opened years ago. I think that I stopped in a couple of times to pick up some bagels, but I didn't make much of the place. I saw it as nothing more than a place for bagels and big loaves of bread like you'd find in a corner bakery in France.
  
  That just wasn't fair! Panera is so much more! Aside from serving a variety of coffees (I LOVE coffee!), they also have soups, salads and sandwiches that rock! If only I lived near one of these places, I think that I would be there daily!
  
  The ingredients are very fresh and flavorful. I don't get the impression that their meats are sitting in a bucket on the serving line waiting to be microwaved like they are at Subway. If they are, then they could have fooled me! They use good, dark lettuce and other plants, not the shredded brown iceberg that Subway uses. Speaking of Subway, there is one right next door... HOW can they survive!? People. Seriously. If you are in the parking lot reading reviews on Panera and Subway trying to decide where to go for lunch... Forget Subway ever existed! You won't be sorry!
  
  Man... I wonder if I can open a Panera franchise here in Hawaii...

  My first experience with Panera was a few years ago when they first opened here in Muncie. I went in not thinking much about the place, as I thought it would only be snotty business-men drinking coffee and eating tea-sized sandwiches. But I was completely wrong.
  
  Yes, the environment is nicely structured, and yes it is a place where the fancier breeds will feel at home, but there is also a "down-to-earth" sort of element that makes the place great. There is a great bakery department serving some of the best bagels I have ever tasted, as well as a whole other department that deals with sandwiches, soups, salads, etc. Also available is a large selection of coffees, but that's not really my thing, so my knowledge stops there.
  
  My main thing when I go into Panera is to order the fantastic Sierra Turkey sandwich. The price is a little steeper than I might at first have liked, but the quality and taste well make it worth it. Serving sizes are larger than expected, and sandwich meals even come with an individual bag of chips - a la Subway.
  
  This is a perfect date spot, and you will see many 20-somethings using it as just that, as well as the full families there for a great dinner. Everyone will find something they love at Panera.
