"If you don't know what Panera bread company is all about, they are a quick-serve restaurant chain with over 2000 locations. A point of difference between Panera and most of their competitors is Panera's food menu items are free of artificial colors,flavors, sweeteners and preservatives. \n\nThe restaurant offers a nice selection of pastries and baked goods. My choice At Panera is usually a sandwich or a Panini. Additionally, they have appealing choices of pastries, soups and salads along with plenty of options for hot and cold beverages. \n\nOn this visit I ordered the chipotle chicken avocado melt - I quickly devoured this wonderful Panini and the bag of chips that came with it. For my beverage, I had a flavored iced tea... Refreshing! \n\nMy sandwich had a homemade vibe and I would order it again. That being said, Panera deserves its high rank on my list of quick-serve restaurant - national sandwich/ bakery shops.\n\nSalute!"^^ . . "3"^^ . "5"^^ . "10"^^ . . . "9"^^ . "2018-03-11T00:00:00"^^ .
