The full Panera Bread menu with current prices and calories. You Pick Two, sandwiches, soups by cup, bowl and bread bowl, salads, warm bowls, mac and cheese, breakfast, bagels, pastries, drinks, the Unlimited Sip Club and kids meals. Checked on 10 September 2026.
Panera prices above the fast food chains and below a sit down restaurant, and the whole menu is built around one format. You Pick Two lets you take half a sandwich and a cup of soup, or half a salad and half a sandwich, for less than most full entrees cost. Almost everything else on the board exists so it can go into that combination.
Prices below are in cafe figures checked across several states in September 2026. Panera runs a mix of company owned and franchised bakery cafes and the spread is real, with the Northeast, California and airport locations running two dollars or more above the national middle. Delivery apps add roughly 30 to 35 percent.
This is the order most people come in for and it is genuinely the best value on the menu. You choose two half portions from soups, salads, sandwiches and mac and cheese, and a baguette or apple comes with it.
| You Pick Two | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| You Pick Two | $13.99 | Two half portions plus a baguette, chips or an apple |
| With full salad upgrade | $14.99 | Swaps one half for a full size salad |
| With a drink | $16.99 | Adds a fountain drink or iced tea |
Soups are the reason a lot of people choose Panera over a sandwich shop. All of them cost the same at each size, so the choice is purely about what you feel like and how many calories you want. The bread bowl is a hollowed sourdough loaf and the bread itself adds roughly 590 calories on top of the soup.
| Soup | Cup $6.99 | Bowl $8.99 | Bread Bowl $10.49 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Vegetable | 60 cal | 90 cal | 680 cal |
| Chicken Noodle | 90 cal | 130 cal | 720 cal |
| Vegetarian Black Bean | 130 cal | 190 cal | 780 cal |
| Cream of Chicken and Wild Rice | 200 cal | 300 cal | 890 cal |
| Bistro French Onion | 220 cal | 330 cal | 920 cal |
| Creamy Tomato | 250 cal | 360 cal | 950 cal |
| Broccoli Cheddar | 250 cal | 360 cal | 950 cal |
| Vegetarian Autumn Squash | 250 cal | 370 cal | 960 cal |
Broccoli Cheddar is the one Panera is known for and it outsells everything else on this list by a wide margin. If you are watching calories, 10 Vegetable and Chicken Noodle are both under 150 in a bowl, which makes them among the lightest hot meals available at any chain.
Prices below are for the whole sandwich. Half portions are what go into You Pick Two, and the calorie figures halve with them.
| Sandwich | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Mediterranean Veggie | $11.99 | 470 |
| Roasted Turkey and Cranberry Flatbread | $11.99 | 620 |
| Sierra Turkey | $12.49 | 920 |
| Bistro French Onion Melt | $12.79 | 800 |
| Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt | $12.79 | 750 |
| Bacon Turkey Bravo | $12.99 | 780 |
| Smokehouse BBQ Chicken | $12.99 | 760 |
| Roasted Turkey and Avocado BLT | $13.49 | 660 |
| Italian Sandwich | $13.49 | 1010 |
| Toasted Steak and White Cheddar | $13.49 | 800 |
Every one of these comes with dressing already tossed through unless you ask otherwise. Asking for dressing on the side is the single easiest way to cut a hundred calories or more off any of them.
| Salad | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Caesar Salad | $10.49 | 390 |
| Strawberry Poppyseed Salad with Chicken | $11.99 | 340 |
| Mediterranean Salad with Chicken | $11.99 | 400 |
| Asian Sesame Chicken Salad | $11.99 | 400 |
| Caesar Salad with Chicken | $11.99 | 470 |
| Fuji Apple Salad with Chicken | $11.99 | 570 |
| Green Goddess Cobb Salad with Chicken | $12.99 | 530 |
The bowls are the newest part of the menu and they are the closest thing Panera has to a full hot meal that is not soup. Every one is built on grains with a protein and a sauce.
| Bowl | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Mediterranean Bowl with Chicken | $11.99 | 600 |
| Teriyaki Chicken and Broccoli Bowl | $11.99 | 600 |
| Baja Bowl with Chicken | $11.99 | 620 |
| Tuscan Chicken and Penne Bowl | $11.99 | 800 |
| Spicy Chipotle Chicken and Bacon Bowl | $12.49 | 830 |
The mac and cheese is the item most people underestimate on calories. A cup is a reasonable half of a You Pick Two. A full bowl on its own is close to a thousand.
| Pasta | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Mac and Cheese Cup | $5.99 | 480 |
| Mac and Cheese Bowl | $9.99 | 970 |
| Bacon Mac and Cheese | $10.99 | 1090 |
| Fettuccine Alfredo | $10.99 | 860 |
| Chipotle Mac and Cheese | $11.49 | 1010 |
Breakfast runs from opening until about 10:30am at most cafes, and after that the bagels and pastries stay available all day while the hot breakfast sandwiches come off.
| Breakfast Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Greek Yogurt with Mixed Berries Parfait | $5.49 | 260 |
| Steel Cut Oatmeal with Strawberries and Pecans | $5.99 | 350 |
| Bacon, Egg and Cheese on Brioche | $6.49 | 490 |
| Sausage, Egg and Cheese on Brioche | $6.79 | 620 |
| Avocado, Egg White and Spinach | $6.99 | 410 |
| Chipotle Chicken, Scrambled Egg and Avocado | $7.99 | 610 |
Bagels are baked in the cafe overnight and they are the cheapest thing on the menu. The Baker’s Dozen is thirteen bagels with two tubs of cream cheese and it works out at well under half the single bagel price per unit.
| Bagel | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Plain Bagel | $2.49 | 290 |
| Everything Bagel | $2.49 | 300 |
| Blueberry Bagel | $2.49 | 300 |
| Sesame Bagel | $2.49 | 310 |
| Cinnamon Raisin Bagel | $2.49 | 320 |
| Chocolate Chip Bagel | $2.49 | 350 |
| Sprouted Grain Flat Bagel | $2.69 | 210 |
| Asiago Cheese Bagel | $2.79 | 330 |
| Cinnamon Crunch Bagel | $2.79 | 430 |
| Cream Cheese | $1.49 | 100 to 150 |
| Baker’s Dozen with 2 spreads | $15.99 | Varies |
The Cinnamon Crunch Bagel is the one people order without checking. At 430 calories it carries more than a plain bagel with cream cheese, and it is closer to a pastry than to bread.
The bakery case is where Panera makes most of its impulse sales and the Kitchen Sink Cookie is the item to be careful with. It is the size of a side plate and it carries as much as a full sandwich.
| Bakery Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Chocolate Chipper Cookie | $2.49 | 400 |
| Oatmeal Raisin Cookie | $2.49 | 370 |
| Muffin | $3.29 | 450 to 540 |
| Brownie | $3.49 | 470 |
| Chocolate Croissant | $3.49 | 400 |
| Scone | $3.49 | 500 to 540 |
| Cheese Danish | $3.79 | 420 |
| Cinnamon Roll | $3.99 | 620 |
| Kitchen Sink Cookie | $3.99 | 800 |
| Bread Loaf | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Baguette | $2.49 | Comes free with You Pick Two |
| Sourdough Loaf | $4.99 | The bread bowl loaf |
| Country Loaf | $4.99 | Rustic white |
| Whole Grain Miche | $5.49 | Highest fibre loaf |
| Tomato Basil Loaf | $5.49 | Sweet topping baked on |
The self serve drinks are the ones covered by the Sip Club. Espresso drinks, smoothies and frozen drinks are made by staff and are not included.
| Drink | Price | Calories | In Sip Club |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bottled Water | $2.49 | 0 | No |
| Organic Milk or Apple Juice | $2.49 | 110 to 130 | No |
| Fountain Drink | $3.19 | 0 to 280 | Yes |
| Iced Tea | $3.29 | 0 to 130 | Yes |
| Hot Tea | $3.29 | 0 | Yes |
| Hot Coffee | $3.39 | 0 to 5 | Yes |
| Iced Coffee | $3.59 | 0 to 5 | Yes |
| Lemonade | $4.49 | 180 to 260 | Yes |
| Frozen Cold Brew with Cold Foam | $5.49 | 320 | No |
| Smoothie | $5.99 | 250 to 350 | No |
This is the most interesting thing on the Panera menu and it is not food. For $14.99 a month you get unlimited self serve drinks, refillable every two hours, with no purchase required to use it.
| Detail | What it means | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Price | About $14.99 a month | Varies slightly by market |
| Included | Hot and iced coffee, hot and iced tea, fountain drinks, lemonades and Charged Sips | The self serve line |
| Not included | Espresso drinks, smoothies, frozen drinks, bottled drinks and juice | Anything a barista makes |
| Refill rule | A new drink every two hours | Applies in cafe and to new orders |
| Break even | About four or five drinks a month | At $3.39 for a hot coffee |
The arithmetic is straightforward. Hot coffee is $3.39, so five coffees a month covers the fee and everything after that is free. If you pass a Panera on the way to work it pays for itself in a week. If you visit twice a month it does not.
One point of history worth knowing, since people still search for it. Panera pulled its original Charged Lemonade from menus in 2024. The current Charged Sips line carries less caffeine than the drink it replaced, but these are still caffeinated drinks sitting on a self serve fountain, so check what you are pouring if caffeine is something you monitor.
Every kids meal is the same price and includes organic milk or apple juice plus a kids side. Portions are genuinely small rather than a shrunken adult plate.
| Kids Meal | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Kids Yogurt Parfait | $5.99 | 200 |
| Kids Soup | $5.99 | 60 to 250 |
| Kids Turkey Sandwich | $5.99 | 310 |
| Kids Grilled Cheese | $5.99 | 380 |
| Kids Mac and Cheese | $5.99 | 480 |
Panera opens early for the bakery trade and closes earlier than most fast food. There is no late night here.
| Day | Opens | Closes | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monday to Friday | 6:00am to 7:00am | 8:00pm to 9:00pm | Breakfast until about 10:30am |
| Saturday | 6:30am to 7:00am | 8:00pm to 9:00pm | Busiest morning |
| Sunday | 7:00am | 7:00pm to 8:00pm | Often the earliest close of the week |
Cafes inside malls, hospitals, airports and on campuses follow the building rather than these hours. Panera closes on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day and typically runs reduced hours on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day.
Default to You Pick Two. Two half portions plus a baguette at $13.99 beats almost every full sandwich on the board, and it is the only way to get soup and a sandwich in the same order without paying for both.
Join MyPanera before you order rather than after. It is free, it runs on visit based rewards rather than points, and the offers it sends are usually a free item rather than a small discount. If you buy coffee here more than once a week, do the Sip Club maths, because five drinks a month covers the fee. And if you are buying bagels for more than two people, the Baker’s Dozen at $15.99 with two spreads is well under half the single bagel price per unit.
Panera was among the first large chains to print calories on its own menu boards voluntarily, and the transparency is real. It is also worth using, because this menu has a wider gap between what looks light and what is light than almost anywhere else.
The genuinely light orders are the soups. A bowl of 10 Vegetable is 90 calories and Chicken Noodle is 130, which is remarkable for a hot meal. The Strawberry Poppyseed Salad with Chicken is 340. At the other end, a bread bowl adds about 590 calories in bread alone, a Kitchen Sink Cookie is 800, the Italian Sandwich is 1,010 and a Bacon Mac and Cheese is 1,090. On sodium, the soups and the cured meat sandwiches carry most of it, with several bowls clearing 1,500mg before anything else joins the tray. Vegetarians are well served here compared with most chains, with the Mediterranean Veggie sandwich, four vegetarian soups, the mac and cheese and most of the salads all available without meat.
$13.99 for two half portions chosen from soups, salads, sandwiches and mac and cheese, plus a baguette, chips or an apple. Upgrading one half to a full salad is $14.99 and adding a drink brings it to $16.99. It is usually better value than ordering a full sandwich on its own.
About $14.99 a month for unlimited self serve drinks, refillable every two hours, with no purchase required. It covers hot and iced coffee, hot and iced tea, fountain drinks, lemonades and Charged Sips. Espresso drinks, smoothies, frozen drinks and bottled drinks are not included. At $3.39 for a hot coffee it breaks even at about five drinks a month.
The hollowed sourdough loaf adds roughly 590 calories on top of whatever soup goes in it. That puts a Broccoli Cheddar bread bowl near 950 calories and a 10 Vegetable bread bowl near 680. A bowl of the same soup without the bread is 360 and 90 respectively.
The soups. A bowl of 10 Vegetable is 90 calories and Chicken Noodle is 130, which is unusually low for a hot meal anywhere. Among the larger plates, the Strawberry Poppyseed Salad with Chicken at 340 and the Mediterranean Salad with Chicken at 400 are the lightest full portions.
Around 10:30am at most cafes. After that the hot breakfast sandwiches come off the menu, but bagels, pastries, oatmeal and the yogurt parfait stay available through the day. Times vary by location, so check locally if you are cutting it fine.
Most bagels are $2.49, with Asiago Cheese and Cinnamon Crunch at $2.79 and the Sprouted Grain Flat at $2.69. Cream cheese is $1.49. A Baker’s Dozen of thirteen bagels with two spreads is $15.99, which works out well under half the single bagel price per unit.
Panera removed the original Charged Lemonade from its menus in 2024. The current Charged Sips line carries less caffeine than the drink it replaced. They are still caffeinated drinks on a self serve fountain, so check what you are pouring if you monitor caffeine intake.
Yes, more than most chains. The Mediterranean Veggie sandwich, four vegetarian soups including 10 Vegetable, Creamy Tomato, Vegetarian Black Bean and Autumn Squash, the mac and cheese, the bagels and most of the salads without chicken are all vegetarian. Vegan options are thinner, since the soups and mac contain dairy.
It is free and it runs on visit based rewards rather than a points balance, so the offers tend to be a free item rather than a small discount. Sign up before you order rather than after, because rewards only count from the point you join.
Most high prices online come from delivery apps, which add 30 to 35 percent before fees. The prices on this page are in cafe figures. Panera also runs a mix of company owned and franchised cafes, and the Northeast, California and airport locations sit two dollars or more above the national middle on the same order.
