Pros: Everything
Cons: Prices are a little high

I love Panera Bread. The food is probably the best I have ever tasted. Their Asian chicken salad and their broccoli cheese soup in a bread bowl are to die for. The only problem is the prices are a little high, but I am willing to pay them for the quality ...

Pros: Their food is wonderful enough, but they top it with a donation program that's incredible!
Cons: None that I can tell.

I had never heard of Panera Bread before as there were none where I lived. Once I moved, there were Panera Bread locations on every corner it seemed! A good friend would come by and drop off sweet breads, cinnamon rolls, bagels, doughnuts, just whatever ...

Pros: Freshly baked goods; fresh ingredients; great tasting chow; oh the cookies!
Cons: Expensive, but then again quality costs.

Like I stated in my review of the Corner Bakery Café, I love sweets! And my favorite sweet treats—baked that is—are chocolate chip cookies, the more chips the better. And the bigger the better and Panera Bread, like the Corner ...

Cons: Your chances of getting a good tasting sandwich or a bland sandwich are 50/50.

I have been to Panera Bread locations from South Florida to North Carolina and I feel the hype of Panera Bread is greater than the actual taste of the food. I don't know if it is by design, but all I taste in their sandwiches is bread, which is about an ...

Pros: Yummy cinnamon scones. Nice, plastic decor and tiled floors.
Cons: Not the healthiest or the tastiest food in the world, but maybe within ten minutes.

Sadly Panera, like most bakeries, puts most of it's effort into producing a pretty product and creating the illusion that they know and care about you like a neighborhood bistro owner might. It's a marketing scheme that's found an audience eager for a ...

Pros: …
Cons: …

I first heard about what Panera was like from a coworker. I had sort of maybe seen it before, but I had never really considered it. One day, I decided to try it out. They have all sorts of sandwiches, pastries, breads, bagels and other bread-related ...
