Atlanta Bread Co is NOT comparable to Panera.  To begin with, the bagels here are not as good, nor is there the same variety.  The pastries also leave much to be desired.  I love the Bear Claws at Panera but the ones at Atlanta are dry and have minimal filling.  Sandwiches and salads are somewhat comparable each offering something the other doesn't.  What I like about Atlanta is the breakfast menu.  There are several omelets and all are decent, though not exceptional.  The accompanying potatoes are so-so and usually cold.  Toast is always soggy.  The breakfast sandwiches are decent.  I have breakfast there every day during the week as it is near my workplace.  I have something different each day and the price is reasonable and the food is tolerable.  Under $5 for a three eggs omelet, potatoes, and toast isn't too bad.  I've tried all the omelets and two of the breakfast sandwiches and while they won't win any culinary rewards, they are filling and somewhat tasty.  Somewhat.  Do I recommend this place?  Well, like many such places, it's hit and miss.  Don't go with high expectations and you will be okay.  It's not gourmet food or haute cuisine but you'll probably find something you like and will enjoy.
