I do not usually eat here, but when I have, I've always liked it. Their food is very good, especially the sandwiches/paninis. It is similar to Corner Bakery, but a bit nicer. Great sit-down restaurant with fast service. Their bread can't be beat, which makes sense since that is what they're known for! Pros: Service, Ambience, Parking, Food

As a former college student at the nearby university, I frequented this Panera as my choice location to study. The paninis are fresh, the soups savory, and the coffee is perfectly blended. Some of the best customer service I've ever experienced. Free wi-fi doesn't hurt as well. This location serves a variety of people--college students, business people, small families, seniors, and basically anyone who just wants to grab a mug of coffee and read the paper. I highly recommend the Frontega Chicken panini and the Crispani. Baguettes can be hard but I guess baguettes are generally like that. Overall, this is a great place to meet up with friends, study, work, or relax! Pros: Inexpensive, free wi-fi, great customer service, very little waiting time Cons: Parking at peak hours

Panera is a go-to for everything. Their sandwiches are fresh and delicious, their soups are savory and satisfying, and their salads are crisp and refreshing. But the biggest surprise was their egg souffles. I was a bit skeptical at first, as it seemed that no one could beat their honey dew iced green tea, or a roll of their fresly baked bagels for breakfast. But when I tried their artichoke egg souffle, it was a delicious and delicate balance of eggs, cream, cheese and artichokes. I cannot tell you how many times Panera has saved me from cooking breakfast and dinner! Highly recommended! Pros: An all around delicious and healthy alternative to greasy fast food Cons: None

I'm a big fan of Panera! I love this Newport Beach location, but the parking can be a hassle at peak times. Go and try some sandwiches. I'm quite fond of the PB & J, which comes with a drink, a pickle and some chips. For a snack or dessrt, try some of their cookies or pastries! It's very affordable. By the way, Panera has a lot of locations in California. Cons: parking can be crazy at peak hours

Panera Bread was Omahas best kept little secret, until we stumbled upon it and it quickly became our familys favorite eatery! We sad to say goodbye to Panera Bread when we moved, but thrilled to find one in So Cal. They have delectable sandwhiches and great soup. I give them partial credit for my daughters healthy appetite! Pros: Tasty, Healthy, Inexpensive
