Panera Bread

[tassie42]

hillbeans, where in central NJ do you live? We live in Jackson and they just opened one of those bread stores in Howell near us? was wondering if you were talking about the same store?

I didn't know they had a carb conscious meal there!
DH and DS buy the warm loaves of bread there to take home. They usually eat most of it along the way. Now they buy 2.
One to eat while it's right out of the oven and one for later.

I love Panera Bread too! Their bagels are soooo good, especially the Asiago Cheese one.

They have the best salads too. Try the tomato and basil, with cheese. It's really good!

It's on Route 1 in Edison....near the Menlo Mall. My work is only a few minutes away from it. Delicious!

I do know where the one is in Howell though, my good friends own a business near that Panera Bread. I can't believe how many new and nice stores have opened up in Howell on Route 9.

I love Panera. I have yet to find something I don't like there.

Panera Bread ROCKS!!! I just stopped in Tuesday night ~ YUM! As a rule, I get the 1/2 sandwich (usually chicken salad, turkey bravo or tuna salad) and broccoli cheese soup!

Once in awhile I take a look at the *bakery* side ~ but have yet to get any of those yummy's!!

I believe all the *carb conscious menu* is their salads.

They are my weakness when it comes to following the South Beach Diet (which I do loosely) Before I started trying to eat a little healthier, I'd eat there about 4 times a week (usually just a bagel and coffee), but now I try to limit it to 1 time ever 2 weeks or so.

The problem is that there are three within 15 min. of me, and one is only 3 min. from my house. The closest one is by the Post Office which I go to about 3 times a week to ship Ebay packages. Talk about serious temptation!

Love the Fandango salad, Asiago cheese bagel, cinnamon crunch bagel, everything bagel, hazelnut chocolate bagel (which they stopped making a while back), dang....just about all of their bagels.

Waco is finally moving up in the world and getting one soon =) I am excited, and no one understands why

Of course, when Waco gets new things, you'd think they were handing out gold based off the crowds, so I'll have to wait a couple of weeks before enjoying a sandwich and soup =)

I love the place...it's so "classy"! I loooooove their Ceasar Salads..mmmmm...yummmm

Count me in as another Panera fan! We have one in our mall so it's a perfect lunch stop when we shop. The asiago roast beef is my favorite -- yum!

I like the chocolate croissants and the sourdough bread. In fact, their sourdough bread toasted is the best toast!

... And this shareholder thanks you all very much, LOL!

Panera announced yesterday that it will open 27 new locations in the next year. The new shops will mostly be in S. Carolina, Georgia and Colorado.

This place is my weakness!! I have one about 3 miles from my house and I go almost every day. Not for the bread though, it's the only place I can get a giant fresh brewed ice tea.

Another vote for the Cinnamon crunch bagels, they are to die for! As is the Asiago Cheese Focaccia that someone mentioned. Another favorite is the lemon poppyseed mini bundt cake! My kids love the cinnamon rolls.

The low carb menu is not just salads. For about 2 months now, they have had low carb bread items. They have 3 bread, a plain or asiago cheese bagel and a sesame seed breadstick, all low carb. The sign says you can get any sandwich except panini with the low carb breads.

I LOVE Panera! When I moved here to Orlando last year, they were something completely new to me! We didn't have them in NJ but now that I've moved, they're popping up all over the place up there!

My favorite is their Hazelnut coffee and a cinnamon roll! YUM! Talk about comfort food!

 

[bjgrazi]

My daughter and I ate there yesterday. I love their soup. But I find them expensive.

One of my favorites. I pick them over any fast food.

Another Panera Lover! DH and I always get the pick two combo. When it is colder we get soup and now that is it hot, we go for the salads. I always get the turkey with cucumbers (forget the name right now). I have never tried the bagels. Those cinnamon ones sound sooo good. I will have to try them!

 

[PatriciaH]

I LOVE their ic chip drink, broccoli cheddar soup and chocolate crossiants. I will have to try the bagels. Great.. now I want to go tonight

Panera is opening two new locations that are about equidistant from our house. Sounds great to me!! My latest meal of choice is small Greek salad and half of a chicken salad sandwich. YUM!!
