Why all the hatin' on Panera?!?! Being from the east coast, Panera bread is nearly as common as a Dunkin or Honey Dew Donuts. Welcome to the Desert Panera! As I understand it, Panera bought out Arizona's Paradise Bakery years ago. The menus and recipes are the same now.
What is handy dandy about this brand new store is that pretty much every single seat has an outlet. For fellow laptop folks like me, we love places that give us power AND Wifi (usually it's one or the other).
I'm sure they were working out some training issues in the beginning, but the staff is super nice and tries really hard.
