    I really like Panera Bread and didn't think I would. I remember the first time I went, it sounded a little frou frou to me, but there were plenty of things I liked and the food is really good. The thing that really sold me is their cinnamon crunch bagel. Unbelievable! I really like how consistent Panera is. I have an early morning Bible study there every Thursday and it's quiet, comfortable, and don't ever feel like they're tired of some that just get coffee. It's probably ideally suited for lunch.

    Hit or miss experience. Food usually pretty good, but online orders are often wrong. Most of the coffee urns empty today.
