Any Panera Bread fans here?

[Blondie]

I hadn't been in there in a while, so I was delighted to see something new! Vegetarian Roasted Tomato and Pepper Bisque. It was absolutely delish!

Anyone else a fan of Panera's soups, sandwiches, breads and pastries?

I loved their clam chowder in a sourdough breadbowl when I lived in New England, but it's just not the same stuff in FL! The "chowder" is not so good down here, LOL! Also, they only have this menu item on Fridays, and I always forget to go there then. Panera is nice as a bakery, though. They have yummy bagels, dinner breads, etc.

DD loves the Mocha Latte with a danish.

I think they are okay, but overpriced.

I love their bread bowls with either the potato soup or brocoli cheese.....YUM! The one close to work though is tough to find a parking spot.....so I don't go very often. Sometimes if DH and I are wandering around downtown we might go by there for some soup as a light evening meal.

I'm leaving in a few minutes for my first visit there. I'll report back later!

That's EXACTLY what I get! Their Chai Tea is so good - much better than Starbuck's.

For lunch, it's either the strawberry salad (yum! but I think this may be a summer thing) or the Frontega Chicken Panini. You-Pick-Two with Cheddar Brocolli soup.

It's good iced, too.

The one here just started serving souffle for breakfast and boy was it good! I also love the smokehouse turkey panini. mmmmmmm

 

[rascalmom]

Had the Strawberry Poppyseed Salad for lunch yesterday. Yummmmmmmm!

 

[pixiedust23]

I love the asian chicken salad, fuji apple salad, black bean soup, french onion soup, broccoli cheddar soup, and the turkey sandwich (not sure of the name). Dont like the ceasar salad one bit, tastes too fishy!

However...be warned Panera is NOT healthy AT ALL. I always felt like they were and then I could never find their nutritional information online so I asked when I went to the store. I was reluctantly handed a booklet with all the information from the manager. He told me they try to keep that info on the DL bc most people eat there thinking its healthy when its not. Now they post all the nutritional info online...lol ooo the sodium levels!!!!

 

[Aimeedyan]

Yes, I have a weakness for it. I never have gotten up early enough to do breakfast, though!

I love that it's nice and clean with free wi-fi and refills!!
