Panera Bread...have you tried it?

[Blondie]

We're getting a Panera Bread near here.....I'm wondering how they are?

Anyone?

Yep -- Panera makes some great soups and sandwiches! It's what I had for lunch today, in fact.

Very similar to Atlanta Bread Company. Yummy sandwiches, soups and salads! We have several of both in our area.

I've tried some of their bread. It's ok. My brother loves their iced caramel coffee. I've never it, but he's hooked on them.

Awesome soups, great sandwiches, decent prices (at least here).

You'll like it.

I have only tried the bagels and they are wonderful....especially the spinach bagel.

Good soups and sandwiches...we love it here.

Their half sandwich/salad and soup combo is a good deal for lunch. Otherwise I think Panera's a little bit pricey for a whole sandwich. But I"ll admit that I really like their sandwiches and I love their soups. And their bagels are good too.

Ive only had their cinnamon crunch bagle(something like that) and it was very good.

You can't even get INTO the Panera Bread near my son's school in the morning! Their bagels are AWESOME! The asiago cheese and the YUMMY cinnamon crunch are incredible!

For lunch anythng on their asiago bread is great! Do ya THINK I like the asiago stuff???? YUMMMMMMMMMM!

Their bagels are horrible but their combo lunches are pretty good - soup and salad, soup & 1/2 sandwich or salad and 1/2 sandwich.

Ours is fairly new and I love them. They do have great sandwiches and breads. One word of caution though if you've never been there - you will walk in and look at their menu and might go ewwww....but they will take off of a sandwich what you don't like, sub what you might like if they have it and change the bread if you'd like. I don't care too much for the Asiago Cheese bread but I love my sandwich with the Basil Pesto Foccacia.....and they are happy to change that with the sandwich that I order (roast beef usually). They are VERY accommodating.

I love everything at Panera, the coffee, the pasteries, the bagels, the sandwiches, the soups, the salads and of course the bread. Yummmmmm.

It used to be called the St. Louis Bread Company, but then it got too big so they changed the name to Panera. It took me a while to get used to the name change!
Panera is very yummy...good bagels, good soups, good sandwiches, and yes, very crowded around here too! You'll like it

I love that place. We have one in our mall, and I eat there almost every time I go there. I love their sandwiches, soups, bagels, and deserts. My sister and I have a little tradition of getting desert there just about every time we go to the mall together. If I go to the mall when I'm not hungry, I frequently get a Dutch Apple bagel for breakfast the next morning.

I LOVE their baked potato soup!! Yum Yum!! Usually get the pick two combo with this soup and some sort of salad or sandwich. They have a rotating soup menu (some soups are there everyday) so I suggest picking up one of the cards which tell you what soup is served on what days. I have gone far too many times b/c I forgot what day it was only to be very disappointed about the lack of baked potato soup!!!

 

[Blondie]

I knew I could count on you guys for a review!

I love a half sandwich/cup of soup combo so this place will be perfect for me!

Thanks!

Panera is very good! The Morning Glory bagels with hazelnut cream cheese are delicious.

They don't really advertise it, but Panera also donates their left over bread from each day to local homeless shelters. If you ask them, they'll assign you a night to come pick up bread every week, and then you deliver the bread to homeless shelters, churches, soup kitchens, or whatever is in your area...my dad called when one opened near us and we pick up bread every wednesday night now. It's amazing how much stuff they would normally just throw away....we've filled our minivan up with huge bags full of bread and bagels. Also, most of the homeless shelters don't want the pastries, so we get to keep them for ourselves.

 

[caitycaity]

yum yum. we have one here that opened up about 2 years ago.

I love getting their half sandwich/cup of soup dealie! It's also nice how they have seasonal specials... They had this Festival of Asiago (cheese) once, and I was in HEAVEN!!!
