Is there any national eatery that inspires more excitement than Panera Bread? Well…

A new Panera Bread is coming to the corner of North and Oakland Avenues on Milwaukee’s East Side. At 1800 E. North Ave., to be exact. Next to Insomnia Cookies. In the space last occupied by The Waxwing. On the ground floor of that mixed-use apartment building that was built on the site of the old Pizza Man, Cush, and Grecian Delight. After they burned down. In 2010.

Remember Cush?

Not sure when the new Panera is gonna open. They’re renovating the space right now.

Panera.
