the lanham lunch spot. if you notice ebb and flow in panera bread restaurants, you'll see that some of the bakeries are primarily breakfast spots while others are mostly lunch spots. the panera bread in lanham-seabrook, maryland appears to be one of the "mostly" lunch spots. the line moves swiftly here and the folks behind the counter are friendly and efficient. the soups are my perennial favorites, as they taste pretty close to homemade. the test of a great sandwich is its bread and panera bread does not disappoint. i especially love their breakfast sandwiches, all delicious. the atmosphere here is lively and there are business meetings, girls' lunches out, and other gatherings. for a bakery, it's quite the "happening" place.
