I LOVE breakfast food.  Problem: I hate making it.  Second problem: is it just me or does it always seem impossible to get into a breakfast restaurant on the weekends?  I have only found one restaurant, so far, close to my house that takes reservations for breakfast.  Even then you have to have at least six people.  I digress.

Panera has amazing breakfast food and you don’t have to make reservations.  You can even run in after your morning work-out at the gym… or, more realistically, roll out of bed and go in your lounge-wear that is just a step above pajamas.  They have so many bagels, rolls, etc. to choose from.  Last time I went I ordered the cinnamon crunch bagel (a MUST HAVE if you have a sweet tooth like me) and a bear claw.  Both were fantastic.  They had pecan rolls, cinnamon rolls, healthy bagels (if you don’t have a sweet tooth.)  I could go on and on.

I also ordered a (hey, it was Sunday… my diet-free day so don’t judge) granola parfait.  This granola parfait was made of organic, low-fat yogurt, strawberries, and granola.  Super delicious.  (say that just like the little girl on the T-Mobile commercial who tells her dad that another girl’s grandma thinks he’s “super delicious.”)

I saw a sign that advertised freshly made breakfast sandwiches so I might try one of those next time.  Overall, I’m loving breakfast at Panera these days.   http://www.panerabread.com/

P.S. On the website they have a section on nutrition where they list all the calories in the delicious rolls.  I wouldn’t suggest looking at that if you want to enjoy your bear claw like I did.

P.P.S. I have to give a shout-out to the cashier at Panera on Canal St. for letting me order even though this rude woman with a yoga mat tried to cut in front of me in line.  Sometimes I hate living in a big city!  Although, I suppose there are rude people everywhere.  Sigh.
