Panera Bread - Whitby

For the longest time I had no interest into visiting Panera Bread. Who wants to visit a place that sold different varieties of bread. You can get that anywhere. Yesterday I happened to be walking by and noticed that there were tables and chairs and a menu board. This didn't look like a bakery. I went inside and was pleasantly surprised. I figured while I'm here I might as well try some things that I wouldn't normally try. I had the green passion fruit smoothie which was made with avocado pineapple and something else just as disgusting. WRONG this was actually SO VERY delicious. This was a pleasant surprise. I also had 2 1/2 of different sandwiches. The first was avocado blt. I'm not a huge fan of avocado and was surprised to see a huge hunk of it on my sandwich. BUT again the rest of the ingredients rather complimented the avocado and made it edible. Apparently these things are healthy for you and the fact that they made it appealing enough for my palate was no easy feat but they did it : . The other half was the chicken and swiss with a chipotle seasoning? This was suggested to be by the young last that worked there. She said that a lot of people really enjoyed this one. You can add me to that list. a nice little touch was the little machine thing that they have you put on the table. It allows them to bring your order to you. Never be afraid to try something new and never judge a store by it's name. check things out : I will be returning and bringing my family with me next time.

Great place to sit and eat. Food is always delicious and fairly quick.Only 1 negative, i would stay from the beverages. Its not their forte and it

Great customer service, friendly staff, clean enviornment and delicious food. My new favourite spot in Whitby. Right now, this is the best Canadian Panera store.

Such a great spot ! Definitely one of my Faves to go to !! If I lived closer I would probably come here 4 days a week !
