This is 'the' place to go in town for a morning cup of 'jo' or hot chocolate and a bagel. The Dutch apple bagels are simply divine. You can have any of the coffee drinks or hot chocolate prepared with soy milk if you wish. Panera's has many options for the vegetarian, including soups. The artisan breads are really good and sometimes I go just to pick up a loaf for making sandwiches and such at home. The atmoshere is rather relaxed and laid back. This is a good little spot to share a quiet moment with a friend or read a book while enjoying a meal. The service is friendly. They do tend to get busy during lunch and also in the early morning hours. Sometimes the service seems rather slow.
