Cons: On the expensive side. Bit difficult to navigate if you're eating in with a group.

Panera is to bread as Starbucks is to coffee. If you're looking for a quick place to eat and you like bread, this is a good place for you. My Visit I was leery of even going to Panera, because I knew it would cost more than I should really ...

Cons: Awkward coffee station, skimpy on cream cheese.

Let me start out by admitting I am a big fan of Panera Bread Company. The funny thing is when they first opened in my area I thought what is the big deal? Another bagel place? How many bagels is one town supposed to eat? But I was very wrong. Yes, ...

Pros: Incredible bread
Cons: long line at lunchtime

Panera Bread is one of our favorite stops in the mall. My family insists I choose the particular mall we frequent simply because it's the only one with a Panera. I religiously park at the mall entrance closest to this cafe' as it is ALWAYS my first and...

Cons: If you drive by and see that the place is full, leave!

Pros: High quality fast food, Good service, Good ingredients, Awesome soups and desserts
Cons: Pricey for portions and some of the standards
