This particular Panera is spacious--there is lots of room for people to spread out, you can even lodge yourself in an isolated corner if you like. It's a great place to study or catch up on that book you've been working on. The coffee is decent and the refills are free. Plus, they offer soy milk for those patrons who prefer a non-dairy creamer.
Their bagels are unique and flavorful--I would almost describe them as gourmet. I recommend the Asiago cheese with butter or the Chocolate Chip with hazelnut cream cheese.
They also have a selection of gourmet sandwiches (regular or panini style), soups, and salads. Make sure to try the "Seasonal Specials".
Also, they almost always have samples out, and everyone loves free samples!

Bank of American have always been my prefer bank for many years. I have been a member of Bank of America for 3 years already. They have plenty of branches for to me withdraw money, cash checks, or deposit. They have a manager who will directly deposit check for you if you don’t want to wait in line. I think that is a great idea because it have shorten my transaction at least 5 minutes.

Rudy's Pub & Grill is a great place for dinner or lunch. They near the ocean; you can feel the coolness while you eat. I have been here four times, and love it every time. I love to drink at their cocktail lounge. I love their Sashimi Ahi Tuna, which cost around 10$. It is the best. Highly Recommend.

Fletcher Jones Motor Cars is the biggest Mercedes Benz dealer that I know of in southern California. Last month, I drop by here to browse through their selection. I am in the market for a new car. I have learned that a new 2005 Mercedes Benz CLK320 is well in my price range all thank to the financial department. They are the best; they will help you with everything. Highly recommended.

Fashion Island offers shopping at it's best! The shops, boutiques, and resturants are up scale but mostly average priced. The ambience is wonderful, and the weather great for this outdoor mall. There is literally something for everybody. Kids and adults will love the fountains. The Carousel is newer and there is also a little train for the kids. There are two food courts and many fabulous resturants to chose from. At the holidays the center come to life with music, lights and the tallest Christmas tree in the Nation.

Bath & Body Works is where I get all my scent from. I love their anti bacteria soup. I brought a whole bunch on the last visit there. I also love their clearance isle. During their clearance season, anyone can expect a saving of 30% to 50%. I love to shop here. I would recommend to everyone.

More
This Spaghetti Factory is a good place to take the family to eat. Most of the food here is Italian, there are some things on the menu that are probably not Italian. The best dish is the broccoli dish. It's broccoli, a little more than blanched, and covered in fresh Parmesan cheese. It's nice for visiting guests because of the train car that is in the middle of the restaurant. How many people have sat in one and ate a dinner? I bet not many. This is a great place.
The only downfall for this Newport Beach location is that parking is difficult. There are many residential areas, but usually all taken. The wost is there are a ton of meters and no change machines. Unless you valet, have a ton of quarters with you, and be careful walking to and from the restaurant.

Having visited Italy, I have extremely high standards when it comes to the taste of gelato. I have to admit, the gelato isn't that bad (well, it's hard to really screw up gelato) but it wasn't that good either. The location makes this place very expensive. For those on a budget, I would not suggest eating here.
The store isn't very big so the crowd can fill up REAL quick.

More
The coffee served at Peet's is quite simply my favorite, so my review may be slightly biased in that respect. It's dark, rich, complex coffee--definitely not for those who seek the mild blends that they offer at Starbucks. Also, there are always free samples available: teas, organic coffee, pastries, candies, etc.
The small size of this particular Peet's is made up for by the tables and benches located just outside. On a sunny day, you can sit at one of the shaded tables with a cup of coffee and a friend and enjoy watching all the ritzy Newport types saunter about. A lot of people like to bring their dogs here, so sometimes there's some exciting canine interaction. There is also a nice water fountain that, at certain times of the year, is inhabited by a beautiful mallard duck.
The only bad things I can think of are that it can definitely get crowded here, especially in the mornings; and since this Peet's is not that big to begin with, it becomes a madhouse once the line grows longer than 5 people. Also, the pastries are noticeably more expensive than other Peet's I've been to, but such price hikes are characteristic of Newport Beach.
