Panera Bread has new really yummy salad that seems vegan (except maybe refined sugar in the dressing) It's called strawberry poppyseed. Does anyone know which if any of their breads are vegan? I like the multigrain one.
The orchard harvest salad and strawberry poppyseed salad (both seasonal) are vegan if you get them without cheese or chicken. I had the orchard harvest a few days ago and it was pretty good, I like the strawberry poppyseed salad and I also love the black bean soup. I have never had a problem ordering things special at the one that I go to near Syracuse NY and anytime I've had any questions they have gotten out a binder listing all the ingredients so I could double check. It's one of the few places that I and my non vegan family are all happy to eat. Kinda sad to hear that not everyone has had such positive experiences there though.
Here in No.CA. I love our Panera. it's one of the easiest places for us to eat. We substitute things all the time without much problem. In fact they remember our orders LOL!
I eat black bean soup in a bread bowl, fruit cup, med. veggie no feta on sough dough, veggie soup without pesto... my daughter even orders a lettuce, onion and mustard sandwich LOL!
Oh and where is the link about McDonald's owning them? I searched google and so far only found that that it is not owned by them.
