They have very good soup here. My favorites are the Chicken Noodle and the Broccoli Cheese in a bread bowl. I also like there turkey sandwich. The staff is generally friendly.

Ate lunch with a friend there. I had their Greek salad & their great lemonade. My friend had the U-Pick-Two & she loves their broccoli cheese soup. Great value. Very crowded at lunch time. Always great pastry selection, too.

Food was great, no doubt about it. But I hope you got over $20 for two sandwiches and a bag of chips. oh..no drinks with that either. Yeah, way ridiculous on the price here. Yuppie land if I ever saw it. I would have never tried Panera if I wouldn't have had some gift cards for Chrsitmas given to me.... More

Since it's arrival in Cedar Rapids, Panera Bread has been a wonderful spot to find a very good and even healthy meal or snack at all times of the day. The parking lot on the Collins Rd location is always overflowing at lunch time. But something has changed in the past year for me. The soup is not quite as... More

Great food and a real comfortable atmosphere. Wonderful place to casually meet with friends. The fireplace on the west side of town is a nice touch in cold Iowa.

I really like this little restaurant. They have amazing food and I love that the atmosphere is so relaxed. Everyone just sits around and relaxes. In the summer, sitting on the patio in the sunshine is perfection :)

Food is fresh, hot, and healthy. Staff is very friendly. Manager (or asst. manager) stopped by to ask how the meal was.

Within walking distance of the Marriott. Good coffee. Good breakfast sandwiches. There were fourteen in our group and we were easily accomodated.

I love anything they make but need a thick wallet. You won't be disappointed unless you are on a limited budget. Try it, maybe you will be like me, willing to pay for great quality, even at a price.

The lines are usually long, and if its after Noon, they'll be out of some of the better breads. The bread isn't too bad, but it's still sort of a McDonalds attempt at an upscale bakery. The bagels are average (Brueggers are much better), who eats all these sweet flavored bagels? Thats not a bagel! The sandwiches are good but... More
