In Short – Bright colors and comfortable furniture give this chain cafe a laid-back feel, with scattered tables that beckon coffee-sipping readers, chatters and diners. All baked goods--bagels, muffins, two dozen kinds of bread--are made fresh on the premises. Sandwiches include turkey-artichoke panini and Asiago roast beef, plus standards like chicken salad and smoked turkey. Soups change daily, but popular choices like broccoli and cheese, chicken noodle and onion are always on the menu.

Delicious Bread and yummy sandwiches
by denag at Citysearch
Easy to stop in and grab soup, sandwich and a salad or pick up something to go. Their tuna fish sandwich was fresh, and their honey wheat bread is delicous. If you want to eat-in, be quick as many folks bring their laptops and hang out there enjoying the free wi-fi all day long. Good parking in back and easy location for grabing a bite to go.

Panera bread is a nice addition to Santa Monica. It offers a great space with WiFi access that allows customers to enjoy a nice cup of coffee and bakery items while conducting daily business/studying. Considering it's location, the restaurant has great parking and its food is fresh and reasonable. Sandwiches and soups are standard and the bakery is nice. Overall is this is a nice, convenient and reasonable restaurant for both casual dining and quick take out.
