I have nothing but good things to say about Panera Bread. I have known of them for several years, but never took the opportunity to experience one for myself until May of 2008. Since then? I was hooked. I love the quiet, warm and work-friendly atmosphere that Panera Bread provides. It’s neat to experience a little restaurant/cafe that offers high-backed booths, cushy seating and outlets stationed at most of the tables and booths so that people can work and play on their laptops while they have lunch or just enjoy a mid-afternoon snack.
The big draw for me, obviously, is the free wifi. There’s no pesky login card to have to obtain or a minimum purchase requirement. Simply set up, connect to the unsecured (tip: make sure you set your network location to public, or have your firewall up its security standards for the unsecured network!) network, load up your browser and click the “Login” button on Panera’s local network homepage, and you’re good to go.
I will admit that the food is a little pricey (.69 for an itty bitty bottle of water? for a cookie? C’mon!), but the serene atmosphere and uninterrupted work environment is well worth the expense. Whether you’re there to look up baby gift baskets or browse eBay, you’re definitely in your element!
