This is the Bainbridge area incarnation of the Panera Bread chain opened within the last two years. Panera is located in the plaza next to Heinen's along E. Washington St. (old 422).
Panera's menu offers many wholesome sandwich ingredient options, fresh breads, chai / tea drinks, and more.
The store decor offers an upbeat yet relaxing interior with pastel colors, wall art, and comfortable seats and the staff takes good care in keeping the counters, furniture, and carpets clean and in good condition. Definitely a nice place for quiet meals, studying, and Internet usage especially during the off-peak periods.
Very popular for its free Wi-Fi (limited to 30 min during lunch hour).
