Panera Bread

We had our monthly book club at Panera Bread. This was the 3rd time we've chosen Panera.
Most of us had dinner first. Food is always fresh & healthy. Panera stays open late enough for anyone who wants to hang out & visit after our regular meeting. The staff never minds accommodating us if we need to shift a table or chairs.
Between the piped-in music & a couple of large groups it did get a little loud twice. Not a deal breaker, for sure.
Our group of 7 shared & polished off every crumb of 3 yummy bakery treats - cinnamon twist, chocolate chocolate walnut cookie & an enormous "kitchen sink" cookie. We're already planning to return. S. Zee

Counter-service bakery/coffee house. New building, indoor and outdoor seating area (although the outdoor area faces a very loud freeway). Lots of parking. Several self-service registers as well as a standard 'human' checkout. Coffee and tea is self-service (about four different varieties of each), bagels, muffins, some meals available. Location is clean and very serviceable. Food is average and nothing special. This works better than the nearby La Madeline's for an 'all you can drink' coffeehouse (more variety, more complementary, cleaner), although the quality of food, service, and beverages at Starbucks is better. Good for quick breakfast or a study session.

Food is delicious. Always fresh and plated well. The atmosphere is comfortable and quiet. Good selection of deserts and drinks. It nice to enjoy quality whole food.

Went here with my co-worker, Craigf. I liked the lunch menu and it was pretty affordable on my meager salary. This is definitely a healthy choice of food compared to other lunch joints. So if you're struggling and wondering where to eat you could try eating here and you'll have the best time in the whole wide world.

Wow, Panera has changed a lot since I’ve been here! It is so cool! You can order your food without waiting in the line with their kiosks. The have numbers will a built in number system. Had a very cool modern look. I had the broccoli cheddar soup, which was delicious! They have free WiFi so it’s a nice spot to get a little work done as well. I will definitely be back! Great atmosphere, great food and modern set up!
