| - Lunch time! Just like most of you, I'm a member of the Panera Bread rewards program. Sign up online or in person at the restaurant and you're suddenly opened up to a world of discounts, coupons and free offers! WIN/WIN! I got an e-mail from them out of a blue - "FREE SANDWICH!" SCORE! Who in the heck doesn't want a free sandwich? ...pretty much the only reason why I came here is because of the free sandwich offer. Mind you, I've frequented Panera Bread in Minnesota, Wisconsin and now, Arizona. I've got dozens and dozens of visits to my name and have never and I mean, never so much as had anything but a positive, normal experience.
This location is conveniently located right off I-17 & Happy Valley. There are a TON of shops wedged in this relatively small area so parking is at a premium. It's no fault of Panera Bread's, but I absolutely loathe this parking lot. The layout is awkward, the parking stalls are fairly small and overall, it's just cramped. Again, no fault of Panera Bread's but there is A LOT going on in this little shopping area.
When you walk into the restaurant at this location (and most of them I've been to), you're immediately greeted with the treat counter. And what I mean by "treat", is the plethora of fresh-baked pastries, cookies, muffins and other goodies. *mmm* The restaurant was clean and the restrooms were also equally clean. Plenty of seating and everyone is always willing to assist, when need be. I placed this particular order to-go after running several errands this morning.
My all-time favorite sandwich at Panera Bread is their Roasted Turkey, Bacon & Avocado sandwich. For a treat, I opted for a fresh cherry pastry. I raced home as quick as I could where I could not wait to devour this lunch. So about this sandwich... did I mention the bread is also baked fresh daily? I'll start there. The bread is beyond fresh and soft and so delicious! The turkey isn't your typical paper-thin Carl Buddig lunch meat chock full of nitrates. No, sir! This is fresh chunks of real turkey meat seasoned to perfection. On top of the turkey are several slices of bacon and on top of all that bacon and turkey are fresh slices of real avocado. This isn't an avocado spread. This isn't a watered down guacamole. These are thick, fresh slices of REAL avocado. Mouth watering yet? On top of the bread, turkey, bacon and avocado are a few slabs of sliced tomato and several hearty pieces of fresh lettuce. One heckuva sandwich, right? Not only is it an awesome sandwich, but it's good for you! How can something built that awesome be so good for you? YUM! Next to the sandwich is a fresh pickle spear coupled with a small bag of potato chips. Such an awesome lunch!
After I devoured the sandwich, I inhaled a fresh cherry pastry. Very fresh, light and delicious (check out my pics!) For a quick, awesome (and healthy) lunch or dinner, I would not hesitate to opt for Panera Bread! It's the perfect choice if you have an active lifestyle! Let them do the cooking and preparation and I'm certain you'll be pleasantly surprised!
