We Love Panera (besides Ikea)

As many of you know, Grenville is especially fond of Ikea hot dogs and will usually stop if there’s one along the route of any road trip.

But another favorite is Panera Bread, not only for their soup, salad, and sandwich selections, but also the free wi-fi, plus the free coffee refills – the hazelnut coffee is wonderful.

The Panera stop was on the way home from our RI road trip.

What’s your favorite food stop?

My husband loves iHop and the Swedish Hot Cakes.

I guess Ihop but up here there aren't any. I am surprised since this is such a tourist town. So I guess home.

I love Panera too. Sometimes I have to go to conferences and meetings for the library in another town and there is a Panera right next door to where the meetings are held. I always stop there for lunch when we have those meetings. :-)

On road trips we enjoy Cracker Barrel and Sparro Pizza.

Panera is one of our favorite places to eat. The coffee is wonderful too. You made me hungry for a sandwich and a salad.

THANKS for sharing names of your favorite eateries. Yes Lois, Mona and JoJo, we like ihop too and have been known to take advantage of their unlimited pancake specials on occasion.

Daisy & Larry, we wish there was a Panera closer to our VA home. Tammy, hope you get there soon for the hazelnut coffee, it's really delicious.

AC, maybe one day we'll get to a Swiss Chalet, when we visit! Lois, it would be great to dine aboard the ship...maybe one day.

Elaine, amen to not doing the dishes!
