About Panera Bread
Panera Bread serves Asheville from 1843 Hendersonville Road, roughly 6.2 mi from downtown Asheville, heading south. Its listing also places it among bakery cafés.
It is one of 58 bakeries and sweet shops we list in Asheville, roughly one for every 1,638 residents. If you want to compare, Nothing Bundt Cakes sits less than 0.1 mi from here.
Hours were not published with this listing. Most artisan bread bakerys in Asheville open in the early morning, but phoning (828) 277-4042 first is a good idea.
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.
