I was introduced to Panera Bread by my friend in 2012. At first I only came here for their hazelnut coffee (Refillable) but the more I went I would add another item with my coffee.
As a student this is my go to place to study and have good food at the same time. The staff is great! Always friendly and accommodating.
The one thing that I can never refuse to is their mac n' cheese. I can have it everyday, that would be fine! It's on the creamier side but that's what makes it so good. It costs about $8, more or less, and comes with a choice of an apple, or baguette, or chips (Home made and very crunchy). Their prices are moderate to expensive depending what you get.
Another feature I really like is the Panera rewards card, being a member you collect points with every order and from time to time you get something from 'My Surprises' and it can be a discount, a free beverage or pastry.
If you're out with a group of friends, co-workers, and/or colleagues I definitely recommend this place!
