I love two things at Panera. They are the only two things I will order from this place- they are that good. The cinnamon crunch bagels and their version of the tomato, basil, mozzarella salad. Both are equally delicious in their own right.
That bagel is the best thing in the way of bagels I have ever put into my mouth. The crunchy stuff residing on top is freaking amazing. Who invented you cinnamon crunch Panera bagel? Can I hug them?
The tomato, basil, mozzarella salad is one of my favorites in the world. Fresh mozzarella is a gift from the gods. Love it! This salad is perfection. I've only experienced better at Italian restaurants, and on occasion this version has been better than theirs.
Sometimes when I'm back home and need a place to sit and use wifi, this is the place to do it. Â Good service and food you can count on (though not very exciting) Â Wish there were more veggie friendly items though. Â And it's one of the few places in the area where there's outdoor seating. Â Granted you would be staring at a parking lot or a highway, but stil...
Review Source:This is a welcome addition to NW Indiana. Â There are not all that many places for quick, healty food at reasonable prices. Â I love the fact that they have lots of choices of soups, and the sandwiches are the main event. Â Good caesar salads.
They have wifi, a nice clean place to eat, and pleasant help.
Give it a try if you are tired of the same old stuff.
This is chic food, plain and simple. Â And no, there's no accent mark on that. Â I mean that women flock to this place like they haven't eaten in a year and a half. Â There's something about the combination of baked goods, jazz and the words "focaccia bread" that drives women wild. Â And if they see soup in a bread bowl...look out!!
The food is pretty decent here, but it's expensive for what you actually get. Â Their baked goods are nicely done, but I haven't had one that really stands out. Â The employees are friendly and the free water is cold. Â I wouldn't make it a destination, but it works if you're in the area.
I have been here twice and each time the food has been excellent! So far the item I enjoyed most was their boccoli and cheese soup served in a sourdough bread bowl that my Mom and I shared together. Also their sandwiches are great too. The atmoshere is cozy and cool. The service is quick and friendly.
