Hey! I've long found that Panera is the single best place (for me) to write/read/work on stuff. I love to get a bagel (if only they would bring back their mocha chip bagel! mm) and a soda and just sit and work.
I wrote most of my undergraduate thesis at Panera, and a good part of my coursework. Now that I no longer have a Panera across the street from my house, I don't go as often, but I still find it to be a great place to go to do work.
A fair amount of my 2004 NaNoWriMo novel was written in a Panera Bread in Columbus Ohio -- the local meetup group actually met there! I much prefer a coffeeshoppe with a big fluffy chair for creative writing work, though!
viva Panera!
