What's on the Panera menu
Panera's roots are in Kirkwood, Missouri, where Ken and Linda Rosenthal opened the Saint Louis Bread Company in 1987 with a sourdough starter. Au Bon Pain bought the small chain in 1993 and renamed it Panera in 1997, and JAB Holding Company bought Panera in 2017. By June 2026 there were 2,254 bakery-cafes, company-run and franchised, across 48 states, Washington, D.C., and Ontario, Canada.
Panera changed a lot in 2026. A Mix & Match value menu arrived in February with half sandwiches, half salads and cups of soup at $4.99 each, Bagel Stacks became permanent at $7.99, and Market Bowls joined in June. Our prices are estimated typical U.S. prices and vary by cafe and on delivery. The nutrition we have for Panera is not from the chain's own guide, so check calories in the Panera app.

Panera nutrition and menu highlights
We show calories only when they come from Panera Bread's own nutrition information, and we could not match official figures to this menu yet, so the calorie and protein columns show a dash. Check the chain's nutrition guide before you order.
Panera allergen notes
Panera posts an allergen guide on panerabread.com (the current edition is dated June 17, 2026) covering wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, milk, soy, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish and sesame. Bread, cheese and cream soups mean wheat and milk show up across most of the menu. Panera says many products may come into contact with common allergens during production and preparation, so mention your allergy when you order.

- Delivery

Panera ordering tips
- Before ordering You Pick Two, price the same halves on the $4.99 Mix & Match menu; two items at $4.99 come to under $10, though only certain sandwiches, salads and soups qualify.
- The Chicken Roma and Spicy Steak Bagel Stacks are now everyday $7.99 lunch and dinner items, a cheaper path than most whole sandwiches.
- Sip Club is no longer unlimited: since August 2026 it covers up to 30 self-serve drinks a month, one every two hours, so it only pays off if you visit often.

- Asiago Croissant Twists cost $1 at participating cafes, an inexpensive add-on to a soup or salad.
Common questions about the Panera menu
How much is You Pick Two at Panera?
A You Pick Two typically costs about $13.79, or about $15.29 when one half is a premium steak or chicken item. You choose two half portions from soups, salads, sandwiches and mac and cheese, plus bread, chips or an apple. Prices, combos and calories are in our Panera You Pick Two guide.
What is on Panera's Mix & Match value menu?
Launched in February 2026, Mix & Match lets you order two to ten items at $4.99 each, with a free side, at participating cafes. Choices rotate among half sandwiches like the Bacon Turkey Bravo, half salads and cups of soup such as Creamy Tomato. The current lineup is in our Panera value menu guide.
How much is Panera Sip Club, and is it still unlimited?
The subscription costs $14.99 a month plus tax or $119.99 a year. In August 2026 Panera renamed it MyPanera + Sip Club and dropped the unlimited promise, capping members at 30 self-serve drinks a month, one every two hours, with $0 delivery fees. Our Panera deals guide shows when it pays off.
Is Panera's Charged Lemonade discontinued?
Yes. Panera announced in May 2024 that it was removing its Charged Lemonades nationwide after several lawsuits over their high caffeine content. It replaced them with new drinks such as a blueberry lavender lemonade and a pomegranate hibiscus tea. Check the Panera app for the lemonades and teas available at your cafe today.
When does Panera serve breakfast?
Panera serves breakfast from opening until about 10:30 a.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. on weekends at most cafes, though each cafe can differ. The menu includes egg sandwiches on ciabatta or croissant, frittatas and breakfast Bagel Stacks. Times, calories and prices are in our Panera breakfast menu guide.
Is Panera open on holidays?
Panera cafes set their own holiday hours. Reports for Thanksgiving 2025 conflicted, with some holiday roundups listing Panera as open and others as closed, and Panera told customers to confirm Christmas hours with their local cafe. Use the cafe locator in the Panera app before you go, and see our Panera hours guide for 2026 holiday dates.
How much do sandwiches cost at Panera Bread?
Whole sandwiches at Panera Bread typically cost about $9.99 to $13.49, from the Grilled Cheese to the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt, with the Bacon Turkey Bravo about $12.99. Cheaper routes are the $7.99 Chicken Roma or Spicy Steak Bagel Stack and $4.99 half sandwiches on the Mix & Match menu. Prices vary by cafe.
What is leaving the Panera menu?
Panera rarely announces removals, but several items are missing from its September 2026 allergen guide: Ten Vegetable soup, the Napa Almond Chicken Salad sandwich, Toasted Steak & White Cheddar and brioche breakfast sandwiches. Vegetarian Black Bean soup and the summer Mexican Style Street Corn Chowder also dropped off. Charged Lemonade ended in 2024.
Is there a downloadable Panera menu?
Panera does not post a printable menu with prices, because prices are set by each cafe. It does publish downloadable nutrition and allergen guides on panerabread.com, effective September 2, 2026, which list every current item by name. For prices, open your cafe's menu in the Panera app or on panerabread.com.
