From Paradise Bakery to Panera for me was hard. I loved my neighborhood Paradise Bakery due to the menu items. I am not a HUGE fan of the items offered through Panera but in all fairness the Panera concept is nice. They have a variety of soups, salads, pastries, bake goods, soft drinks, coffee and much more. Many similar items that Paradise once had but not all. Especially my favorites like the lemon orzo soup, asian salad and a few other items.
This location has been updated with modern technology to order your food fast. The staff is super friendly and always helpful. They keep the location clean and fully stocked with condiments. This is a restaurant style location where food is brought to you. I really can't say anything bad about this location. I just missed my favorite menu items that the acquisition removed.
Now I am a fan favorite of the WARM fresh baked Chocolate Chip Cookie. Yes, you can have fresh out of oven Chocolate Chip Cookies.
