Chain bakery-cafe makes Bay Ridge a little sweeter
Hey Bay Ridge, are you ready for Asiago Cheese Focaccia?
Panera Bread, the nationwide chain of cafes famous for its wide selection of freshly baked artisan breads, is coming to 86th Street.
Construction is nearly complete on a Panera Bread at 531 86th St., according to the restaurant’s representatives, who said they anticipate an August opening for the new eatery.
The Bay Ridge location will mark the third Panera Bread to find a home in Brooklyn. The other cafes are located on Adams Street in downtown Brooklyn and at the Kings Plaza shopping mall.
