Panera Bread



Don't be confused by the name....this is not just a bread store....it is a high end fast food restaurant/bakery. The menu consists of a nice selection of salads, soups and sandwiches.
The special is $6.49 and you get to select two items....either a half salad....half sandwich...cup of soup. I think the soups are outstanding...they usually have about six offerings. I ordered the special.....a half almond chicken salad sandwich and upgraded to a bowl of creamy tomato soup....and with a soft drink, the total was $10.46. This is a very busy place....usually there is a small waiting line....but they get you through quickly.....and as it is a very popular choice, you sometimes have to hunt around for a seat. In nice weather, they also offer outdoor seating at most of their locations. Overall, though, I give them an "A." The bakery department will also make your mouth water....so don't be surprised if you indulge in something for dessert....I confess....I ended the lunch with a giant chocolate chip cookie.
