PANERA BREAD

People think Bruce Banner transforms into the Incredible Hulk every time he gets angry. What really happens is that Banner occasionally misses his morning coffee and gets a little irritable. Lucky for ol' greenskin (and us), there's Panera Bread.

Panera Bread offers up both frappe and espresso beverages. On the frappe side are I.C. Mochas, I.C. Blasts and newer drinks like the I.C. Cappuccino Chip. On the espresso side of the fence are favorites like cafe lattes and cafe mochas.

And, of course, Panera has more than just coffee to appease the monster in you. There are delicious soups and sandwiches, salads, and a bakery full of breads and desserts. Panera also provides a comfortable atmosphere for indoor and outdoor dining, so you can quietly read or chat with friends.

No wonder the Hulk is so angry. No one ever told him about Panera.
