A chain of bakery-cafes with a number of locations in the Boston area is getting ready to open a flagship location in the city, complete with a heated outdoor patio and fresh bread delivered each day one of their facilities southwest of Boston.

According to the Back Bay Patch, Panera Bread is going to open a flagship bakery-cafe on Boylston Street in the Back Bay, with an expected opening date of tomorrow (Tuesday, May 24). In addition to a heated patio and bread coming from their Franklin facility, the new Panera will have free wi-fi. The Patch article mentions that the new spot is expected to serve over 1,000 folks each day during the week, and its menu will feature seasonal items, including a lobster sandwich once it initially opens this week.
