I have always loved Panera Bread for many reasons: the great variety and changing seasonal menu that takes them beyond a breakfast in-and-out dash, the atmosphere that is simply so conducive to group project work, finishing class assignments or just hanging out and gabbing for our with my best friend.
The location at Bakery Square is no different. Conveniently large space located amidst the trendy and expanding Bakery Square, attached to the Spring Hills Hotel it is a great place to grab a coffee or bagel.
The decor standard, there are adequate amounts of tables and booths depending on the size of your party, however only few of the booths in the back are besotted with electrical outlets. [they don't want you hanging out here all day every day after all]. The service is quick and friendly. The menu is a little overwhelming for me personally and ever changing. Sometimes for the better [Pasta dishes] sometimes for the worst [what happened to my favorite Chicken BBQ and Chipotle Salad!!!!]
I especially love their involvement in the community donating some of their proceeds to various causes such as Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the Ribbon Bagel or the Annual Puppy Walk in the Summer time.
