Hours were not published with this listing. Most artisan bread bakerys in Bel Air open in the early morning, but phoning (410) 569-6980 first is a good idea.
Good to know: takeout and delivery are available. The brand runs 1,910 locations we track across the country.
Panera traces its roots to the St. Louis Bread Company, which opened in Kirkwood, Missouri, in 1987; Au Bon Pain acquired it in 1993 and developed it into the Panera Bread concept, and some St. Louis-area cafes still carry the original name. The fast-casual chain is known for its Broccoli Cheddar Soup in a sourdough bread bowl, toasted sandwiches, salads and bakery items like the Cinnamon Crunch Bagel.
