What is so great about Panera?!
Answers: I'm just not getting it. I don't think their bread is all that great. It doesn't taste fresh to me. The prices are high. But I know that it seems a lot of people just think they are fabulous. I don't get it. Why do you like them really? What am I missing?
I disagree with you. I love their bread and baked goods! To each is own!
I completely agree with you. Each time I have been there I have been dissapointed and felt ripped off. I won't go there anymore unless it's a work thing.
i think its because they feel cool saying "yeh..its from Panera".
What I totally love from Panera is their cheese and broccolli soup in a breadbowl. That's all I get from there..I won't try anything else cause its so good.
Panera has found success in a tough market by being more "upscale" than other places. You won't find feta cheese, cilantro hummus dressing or baby spring mix lettuce at Subway. (Now Subway-that's more my speed.) I do like Panera's chai tea.
I think their sandwiches are pretty good, but that's probably because I like the mustard that they use.
The bread there is fresher than bread that one gets from a grocery store, and the prices are pretty much the same, so that may be the appeal.
