Panera Bread Review

If you enjoy a casual atmosphere with pleasant relaxing background music and a wi-fi connection then you get an added bonus by visiting Panera Bread. That added bonus is their delicious food.

Panera Bread has three convenient locations in Lincoln, NE at 211 North 12th Street #100; 201 North 66th Street; and 2940 Pine Lake Road. On Wednesday August 29, 2012 I decided to visit the location at 201 North 66th Street to both enjoy the atmosphere, get some much needed writing done, and enjoy a very delicious meal.

Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad
Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad

My meal consisted of Strawberry Poppyseed & Chicken salad which was delightfully comprised of Romaine lettuce, fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries, fresh pineapple,mandarin oranges, pecans & fat free poppyseed dressing. Alongside this I had the Lemon Orzo Chicken soup which was also a great combination of flavors. The lemon flavor was not to strong but it was noticeable. I must not forget to mention my beverage a Frozen Mango which consisted of sweet mango puree, topped with whipped cream & raspberry sauce swirl. This was an enjoyable drink.

The entire meal came to $13.46. A little expensive but for the quality it was worth it. I am a big fan of Panera and after this meal I will be back for more.
