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.

You say the cost is too high.. well maybe if you took a look at what goes in to what you are eating you'll understand. Everything you eat at Panera was baked the night before and there are no perservitaves. Everything is all natural. All the chicken is antibotic free and preservitive free. Trans Fat is zero. And at the end of each night all the bakery items are donated. I think I am ok with paying a little extra for natural food than going to arby's and eating their roast beef sandwhich. Maybe you should take a look at what that looks like before you eat it.

I used to like this place but it has progressively gone down hill over the past year. First of all, the coffee seems consistently bad each time I visit (it used to be very good). Their soup selections are horrible--nothing new or innovative. Same old tired soups. I don't know why they got rid of the forest mushroom suop because that was their best by far. They make a so-so sandwich--certainly not worth the price. I'm much happier with an Arby's roast beef--better value and very tasty. I will say that Panera has great bread though--that's why I still visit. As for their other menu items--if you like paying more for so-so food then keep going. I think Einstein's has superior food and better coffee so I have been visiting them more lately, eventhough they too are somewhat overpriced.
Pros: Great bread
Cons: Lousy food and poor value for the money
