I used to eat several times a week at Panera Bread in the Chicago area, and when I heard that they were coming out here, I couldn't wait! They finally opened in Redmond, and it's the same good quality, fresh food that I remembered. The breads are baked fresh, and the hot sandwiches are VERY good indeed -- Frontega Chicken being one of my favs! Needless to say I've had every single once of food that they serve there and I can't say a negative thing about a single item. The soups in their fresh sourdough bread bowls are awesome, with the soups rotating in variey. Try the peanut butter and jelly on sourdough -- a grownup version of a kid's fav! don't forget to try their bagels, pastries and the frozen green tea drinks!

I was very impressed with the taste of Panera's bagels. They were very sweet and tasty. The restaurant is almost cafeteria style where you order and find a table. I think they could have doen a different design. I also ordered their spinich and cheese soufle. THat was very tasty!!

Fabulous baked goods! We go there for lunch and the soup is very good. I'm on weight watchers and can still eat there - low fat chicken noodle soup is hearty and tasty. The breads that they make the sandwiches on are phenominal! I do miss the banana nut bagels though - they were only seasonal. Their house latte is pretty tasty, too!

PROS: Wonderful selection
CONS:

This place is very good for bread lovers. Nice environment and reasonable price and good food. It is mostly a cafeteria. Sometimes they also send free coupons.
