Excellent food, great location. Panera Bread serves you choice of already prepared sandwiches, soups, and salads. All meals come with a slice of their freshly baked bread. They have a great selection of all these items. You must order at the counter form the menu and then wait for them to call your name. You simply pick up your order and sit down where ever you want. During the spring/summer, there is seaiting on the patio which is nice.

Salads are always fresh looking and crisp. Soups are delicious. Although, I have found their bread a little hard at times and tough to bite into.

The ambiance is a busy cafe experience. A nice touch is the fireplace in the middle of the cafe with a few couches. There is always a newspaper floating around if you want to read. Plus, they have internet access and do not shoo you out if youve been there too long.

The location is great because it is in the heart if the west end of saburbin Richmond. Definately a great place to go if you enjoy being around people and hate havi

PROS: Clean and crisp salads, Hot soups, homemade breads and bagels to go. Take out or dine in. No wait staff- just order at the counter. Patio outside, Fireplace inside.

CONS: Bread is sometimes a little too hard to chew.

Fresh-baked goods, fresh-brewed coffee and creative sandwiches served up in relaxed, roomy surroundings.

In Short
Bright colors and comfortable furniture give this chain cafe a laid-back feel, with scattered tables that beckon coffee-sipping readers, chatters and diners. All baked goods--bagels, muffins, two dozen kinds of bread--are made fresh on the premises. Sandwiches include turkey-artichoke panini and Asiago roast beef, plus standards like chicken salad and smoked turkey. Soups change daily, but popular choices like broccoli and cheese, chicken noodle and French onion are always on the menu.

Fine bakery and food.

Panera offers good foods while maintaining its quality well. Also all the Panera restaurants are very clean. They tend to be slightly expensive for the fast food restaurant, but as mentioned, this isn't the typical Burger King or McDonald's. And you're really getting some quality foods...
