Have you eaten at a Panera Bread Bakery Cafe?

Question

My friend took me there recently for lunch and I loved the food! It's my new favorite place to eat.The restaurant itself was nice looking also. I was curious as to other people's opinion of it.

Answer 1

I eat there too often out of convenience.  They are overpriced for what they provide, and they vary greatly by stores.  The store I go to is unfortunately not very good quality or service. Also, the stuff that seems healthy often is not!  So don't go there thinking that you will get a healthy meal - check the nutrition info on their website first.

Answer 2

Its a great place, I love getting the frozen coffees in the morning and for lunch or dinner I get french onion soup in a bread bowl. The atmosphere is great because the one I go to, the people are very friendly. Also, I love being able to work on my laptop while enjoying a coffee in there.

And down here in St. Louis, Missouri (where I live), it is called St. Louis Bread Co., but it is still the same chain and food.

Answer 3

Personally I suggest anything that they have made with roast beef.

Answer 4

I love their bagels and orange scones!

Answer 5

Expensive, yes, but the food and atmosphere is soooo worth it. Yummy!

Answer 6

Love it! I have had their spinach salad with oranges, strawberries and pecans and almost touched a cloud!!:)

Answer 7

Omgsh! Yes! they are the best! i love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they rock! Grilled Chicken Ceaser SAndwhich or Salad is good! very good!

Yum!

Answer 8

The food ig good, but a little overpriced and the portions are a little small.  Your best bet is the bakery items.  A similar type of restaurant is San Francisco Oven.  They have similar menus, bu the prices are lower and the portions larger.

Answer 9

Good sandwiches and really good soup

Answer 10

ABSOLUTELY!! They are my fave! The best is the Tomato Basil bread ... if you haven't had it ... I ghly recommend it. They will use it on MOST sandwhiches.

Answer 11

Very good but very expensive for what you get, in my opinion. Is there an Atlanta Bakery near you? I don't know if they have branched out of the S east. They are the same style but better in my opinion.

Answer 12

I love it!
