Rating: 4 out of 5!
I used to come here quite often. It was my first Panera Bread ever and, because of reminiscence, I drive all the way down from San Diego just to get my sandwich there.
The concept of Panera Bread is simple: offer fresh-made sandwiches, soups, a whole lot of pastries, soft drinks, coffee, and attract a crowd that is sick of Starbucks’ poor food choices and Subways’ ready-made smell. The sandwiches come in American style, that is, lots of lots of lots of meat with some vegetables and a side- an apple or chips.
For me, the concept worked and still works- I enjoy these delicious sandwiches in freshly baked bread, bagels in all styles, sugary pastries and even coffee that is drinkable. I’m not embarrassed to say that my favorite is the hazelnut flavor with some sugar and cream.
So what is great about this location? It has lots of seating, a fake chimney with some inviting armchairs, fast service and good food quality. And of course, free wifi and a large parking lot.
