| - Oh Panera, where have you been all my life! Just last week I as walking by my lonesome in downtown Yonge, looking for a nice place to have lunch when I decided to give it a try. There was a line when I got in but before I knew it, my turn was up before I could even decide on what to order. My eyes were still feasting on their attractive bread display. I wanted them all! I was debating with myself on whether to get a salad or one of those gorgeous pastries with coffee, then eventually ended up getting a half order of chicken cobb salad with avocado, and a couple of peach pecan muffins to go because they were calling my name. The cobblestone bread was also beckoning but I thought there would be less guilt going for the peach muffins because they have fruit in it. I don't even know if that makes sense. Anyway when you dine in, they give you a tracker which is pretty cool so you can sit anywhere and they'll take the food to you. They have a spacious dining area at the second floor where you can enjoy and have a chitchat with friends, or in my case enjoy some "alone time". My cobb salad was all right, complete with all the elements-- blue cheese and fresh bacon bits, and it came with a little baguette. I would have preferred the baguette a bit warmed though, and perhaps served with a tiny bit of butter? I want to try their other lunch options next time, like sandwiches and soup. Anyway, when I got home late in the afternoon, I put on some coffee and warmed a muffin--oh fantastic! I'm coming back soon for those cobblestones.
