I love Panera. I ate there all the time when I lived in Atlanta and was so excited to have one come to Auburn! My favorite thing to get is the soup-in-a-bread-bowl. I also like their "You Pick Two" combo where you choose two from any of their soups, salads and half sandwiches. They also have a great salad in the summer called Tomato Mozzarela that has slices of tomato's, big chunks of fresh mozzarella, and sweet corn bread all covered in basil vinagrette dressin. It's very refreshing! I often call in an order on my way to work and it's always ready when I get there. They also have a bakery with fresh bread, bagels and pastries. You can buy a whole loaf of their homemade bread. The only problem I have with this particular location is that they don't offer all of the items that Panera offers at their other locations. I was told it's because they don't sell in this area, which makes sense. Two of my favorite things at other Panera's are Cream of Asparagus soup and Salmon cream cheese and they aren't big sellers in Auburn.
