Panera Bread

Panera is one of the best places to grab a good sandwich and some soup. This store is on par with any other Panera I have been so there is not much more to say about it. Good food, decent price and service.

A lovely place to drop in for some heart-warming cafe food on a cold winter evening or just to sit outside and enjoy a sunny summer afternoon. If the sandwiches, soup or coffee aren't enough, buy a fresh baguette or croissant to savor at home.

I had the steak & white cheddar cheese on a baguette with a cup of coffee (unlimited refills for the dine-in version). The sandwich was fair (the baguette was crusty, just the way I like it) and the horseradish sauce balanced the cheddar and the steak well. Regardless, it was a bit one-note after a while and could have used a side-salad to sparkle the dish (I was offered a side of bread, apple or chops).

The service was excellent, and the ambiance, welcoming. I would certainly dine here again.

I have never had a bad experience at this Panera. The service is always friendly and the food is always fresh. My favorites are the chicken salad sandwich, the unsweet iced tea, and their mac and cheese.

Okay. My favorite is the mac and cheese. I just put the rest of that stuff there because my reviews are probably getting a little repetitive lately with all of my mentions of "mac and cheese." Really, everything is good at Panera, but when you put "Vermont white cheddar macaroni and cheese" in front of me, you can't expect me to focus on anything else.

I'm not a big fan of their chai, but that's more a personal preference, I think. Beware that the parking guy out front is pretty on top of giving people tickets (I think we need to find him a hobby).
