Panera Bread is one of my favorite spots for a good, healthy lunch. I love to go here anytime for lunch. Their menu is great and has a wide vareity of choices. You can choose from soups. fresh baked bagels and breads, sandwhiches, pizzas, and evena huge line of desserts. No matter what you choose though you will be sure to be pleased. My personal favorite item here though is their bread bowl filled with brocolli and cheese soup. That particular soup is my favorite - its thick cheesy and super yum! And it comes piping hot and fresh in their fresh baked bowl made of yummy sourdogh bread! Give my favorite item a try - you will definitely be pleased!

I go to Panera for lunch all the time. It is right near work so it is vrey convenient for me. The soup bowl is very good. There are many different soups available here. All the breads are real good too. I like the frocassia bread the best. The brownies and cakes Panera have are real good too. And I cant forget the chocoalte chip cookie. It is so soft and good. All the sweets taste real good. They are a real great addition to your meal after the healthy lunch of bread and soups.

Obviously this place is a local fav. because of the crowds here. This whole area is crowded in general with young urban professionals (yuppies) and screaming kids with mommies who have too much money, mixed in with struggling artists. Even after these yups buy their BMW they still seem to have too much money. (well that's another story) I do like the food from here especially the soups and bagels. They have some healthy alternatives as others have mentioned also.

Panera is a great chain fast food type restaurant that doesnt feel like fast food. I love being able to grab a nice hearty inexpensive lunch here and sit with my lap top and work on things. The atmosphere is really comfortable and relaxed and you feel right at home from the first minute. Dont miss out on their bread bowls filled with hot soup they are absolutely the best around.

It's hard not to like Panera Bread, their fresh breads, yummy soup bowls and healthy substitutes make this a great place to eat. The service is "eh" most of the time, but the food is sublime. We usually visit on Sundays after church and the place is packed. They have a large seating area, but Panera's pretty popular. I love the brocolli and cheese bread bowl. It's enough to keep me satisfied for awhile. If you want you can get an apple instead of chips and milk instead of soda - so it's a nice change from the normal out to eat meal.

Panera Bread's good- pretty fresh, and the bread (as advertised) is delicious. Albeit a chain, Panera is one of the more tolerable midwestern chains- everything's going to be good. I recommend the soups- the low fat chicken noodle and the seafood clam chowder is good in a bread bowl, but the pick two option- fandango salad and low fat chicken noodle- is my pick for Panera fare. Get what you like- it's bound to be pretty good, and pretty cheap, too, for the amount of food you're getting.
