PANERA BREAD

Remember the smell of fresh-baked bread straight out of your grandmother's oven? That's what stepping into Panera Bread is like. Only granny could never cook quite like this.

Made fresh each day from unbleached flour and no preservatives, the delicious breads, bagels and pastries at Panera are just waiting to be gobbled down. If you're in the mood for a sandwich, there's French bread, sourdough, pumpernickel, tomato basil or swirl rye, among others. If you have a sweet tooth, there are biscotti, bear claws, scones and strudel.

And the bagels? Well, that's a category in and of itself.
