Panera Bread

Panera is close to home, has great food for big or small appetites, and healthy or decadent choices for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and breaks.  They have a Thai salad that is spicy, filling, healthy, and has layers of flavors to enjoy.

Staff is very knowledgeable about the huge selection of foods.  We have also used them for catering over Christmas and were very pleased with the food to satisfy a wide variety of tastes.

There is free WI-FI, and there are cozy chairs and couches near a fireplace if you have the time or desire to enjoy that.  I have never seen any of the staff not cheerful and helpful.  They are the cream of the crop, and the whole atmosphere is cheerful, clean, upbeat.  You can eat and run or linger and read the paper or catch up with friends.
