Panera Bread

Great place & price $$ for coffee, breakfast, & smoothies. Don't forget pick2, then great treats, too! Pleasant staff. No blaring music. Good window seats & fire place. Valuable Point system.
Only issue was rounding up for charity. We paid cash, and that threw system for a loop, twice.
At 11, half tables taken, by laptop users & corporate conversations. Want a quieter setting, follow tile to back. Tables too small to spread out, but quaint for eating; and max seating.
Anna Maria on the receipt... however Thank you to Assistant Trainer [forgot name during reg change over], getting our eggs over easy -- awesome! Thank you Kelly / Tiffany for staying pleasant. (I am terrible with names, today) for reminding me of the whoopee pie dessert - "Cocoa Creme Cookie," & points, when ordering delicious Spinach & Artichoke Souffle. Daily (her name) & Micha were helpful, though the were keeping busy The cooking staff is always smiling. They're like ducks on water, calm demeanor, while kicking in higher gear under the surface (behind the counter).

Really good food, the place has free WiFi. It’s a good stop if you have the time. I recommend broccoli cheddar soup with a bread bowl. There isn’t much of a line if there is one, so it’s quick. You can order a head of time so that you can just pick it up.

The food was amazing! Wide variety of soups, Mac n Cheeses, breads, sweets, and drinks. A little on the pricey side but it isn't unreasonable. Very friendly staff, and a great eating environment. This location even had a fireplace. Definitely recommended if you're in Chicago and want to put something warm in your belly.

The food is good, it's generally clean, and it has a convenient location. 4 stars. Is the food great? No, but its good and healthy for the price. I've only had lunch there and it can be very busy around 12:30. They have an outdoor patio for warmer days.
