I miss the Veranda because for us northerners, it was a bit of southern charm. I must say that the ambiance was what I liked.....not the mediocre food and older women waitressing who were a bit sloppy in grooming/appearance (several looked like they were in a janitorial job).
Panera is good in the p.m. and evening, and the veranda outside is great. But I don't like the industrial feel of the interior decor, and the breakfast-hour long lines that don't move are terrible. I've always had good food there and it's not as crowded as the SS store.
