Editorial Review for Panera Bread – by J.P. Anderson
In Short
Bright colors and comfortable furniture give this chain cafe a laid-back feel, with scattered tables that beckon coffee-sipping readers, chatters and diners. All baked goods--bagels, muffins, two dozen kinds of bread--are made fresh on the premises. Sandwiches include turkey-artichoke panini and Asiago roast beef, plus standards like chicken salad and smoked turkey. Soups change daily, but popular choices like broccoli and cheese, chicken noodle and French onion are always on the menu.

We are thrilled to have a good soup/sandwich place that is relaxing and while fast food, food is not typical of fast food. This is a great place to visit in the winter months where the 1/2 sandwich/cup of soup are a good value. Avoid peak lunch hours though due to crowds and also avoid the Capital Blvd location which is somehow set up bad with the drink machine being in the wrong place and NO extra napkins offered at the condiment bar.
Pros: Great Soup/Sandwiches not to mention the irresistable pastries
Cons: Capital Blvd location has poor drinks/condiment set up

I eat here weekly. I usually stick with the soup- which is always tasty. I had to write a review today, however, because I went with the "you pick two" and got 1/2 a sandwich. I got back to work, was eating my sandwich, realized something was odd. I took the top slice of bread off and realized they forgot to remove the paper from the cheese slice. I had eaten about 1/2 a slice of paper...gross. I think I'll stick with the soup from now on.
Pros: good location
Cons: usually crowded, seating an issue at times
