| - When this location opened, I went BANANAS!
I love, love, love PB. I am learning to accept the merge with Panera. I came from Panera-ville originally to PARADISE (bakery)-land, and I liked that I had my "back home place" and "new home" place.
I've probably eaten the chicken walnut salad 30 times from this location. (well over 200 times cumulatively). Never fails to wow my palate. Perfect amount of chicken, never drowning in mayo, lovely crunchy walnuts. Gets even crazier (nuttier?) if you get it on a croissant instead.
The new turkey with avocado sandwich is also fantastic. And it's a real avocado, not that nasty preservative filled gross green paste other places try to charge you $2 for. Also love the chicken chopped cobb salad with avocado, hold the piggie (bacon).
Caesar salad is easily one of my favorites. Lettuce is always fresh, and the dressing is so tasty! You are welcome to make your own salad if you don't want one of their suggestions. Just let them know.
Lemon chicken orzo soup=good enough to eat even on a hot day!
Fire roasted tomato soup is another favorite, never too acidic or salty, and that's hard to manage 100% of the time, but somehow, they do.
Mac n cheese for kids (or kids at heart.....ok now my pants aren't fitting again...)
I miss their Strawberry Peach decaf iced tea (yes, I'm a veteran customer), but I like the new Mango and Acai iced teas.
The free cookies with sandwich are downright evil. I can't resist their soft, chewy goodness. Darn you, cookies! (You can get something besides chocolate chip if you ask)
I also come for breakfast and get either a muffin (the free ones rack up quickly with their Taste of Paradise card) or an egg sandwich. Power sandwich or steak and egg on a bagel is muy, muy delicioso! Fresh squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit, black cherry smoothie. Okay, I've had every breakfast item they have. No complaints. Republic of Tea hot tea!
i don't have enough time to write about all their menu items, because I pretty much have tried everything! But I will say that the only thing I don't prefer is the new tuna salad, compliments of Panera. It's just okay, not wowza like most things.
ANd please bring the green iced tea from Panera over! Hot diggity, it was like nothing else.
Okay, it's not cheap, but again, you get what you pay for. It's not subway!
I come here at least once a week!!
