Panera Bread is an American fast-casual bakery-cafe chain serving soups, salads, sandwiches, freshly baked breads, and pastries.
Panera Bread serves bakery cafe at locations across the United States. Panera Bread started in 1987 and runs its operations from St. Louis, MO. This page lists the full Panera Bread menu with prices, calorie counts, allergen notes, and the items people order most. We track 64 items across 5 menus, updated on a rolling schedule through 2026.
On price, Panera Bread lands in the mid-range part of the bakery cafe market, shown as $$ on this page. Founded in 1987 and headquartered in St. Louis, MO, the brand has built its menu around a core set of items that repeat across every location, with regional additions in some markets. Consistency is the point of a chain, so the lineup travels well, even though each franchise owner sets the price you actually pay. For ordering and the brand's own nutrition disclosures, Panera Bread publishes an official site, which we link at the top of this page.
Panera Bread splits its menu into 5 sections: Breakfast, Soups & Salads, Sandwiches, Bakery & Sweets, and Seasonal Menu. The menu lists 64 items in total. Popular picks include Sausage Breakfast Burrito, Bacon Breakfast Burrito, Chopped Kale Salad, and Buffalo Chicken Salad. Every item on this page shows its price and calorie count where we have it, plus common allergens, so you can compare before you order.
These items show up on most Panera Bread orders.
Most items at Panera Bread cost between $2.49 and $21.49. A typical item runs about $10.77. The cheapest pick is the Everything Bagel at $2.49, and the Ham & Cheese Sandwich sits at the top of the menu around $21.49. Prices change by location because franchise owners set their own pricing, so treat these as a guide rather than a quote. Airport, stadium, and highway rest-stop branches usually price higher than a standard street location.
Expect Panera Bread items to fall between 153 and 778 calories. The average item lands near 432 calories. That spread matters if you are watching intake, since the lighter end of the menu can be a third of the heaviest plate. 60 items carry allergen notes on this page, covering the common ones: milk, wheat, egg, soy, fish, shellfish, peanuts, and tree nuts. Preparation shares equipment at most locations, so cross-contact is possible even when an ingredient is not listed. If you have a severe allergy, confirm with staff and check the brand's official allergen guide before ordering.
Panera Bread keeps a mix of budget picks and full meals across 64 items. Items under $6.00 include Everything Bagel at $2.49, Chocolate Iced Donut at $2.99, Cake Pop at $2.99, and Almond Croissant at $2.99. Combos and bundles usually beat ordering the same items separately, and the Panera Bread app is where most of the discounts live, including first-order offers and rotating deals. Ordering through a third-party delivery service typically costs more than the in-store price, since menu prices are often marked up before fees are added.
Panera Bread handles dine-in, takeout, and drive-thru at most stores, with delivery through the app or partner services where offered. Mobile ordering lets you skip the line and customize items before you arrive, which is the fastest route at peak times. Larger orders and catering are available at many locations, though catering usually needs advance notice and may run from a shorter menu than the one listed here. Availability of each channel depends on the individual store.
Panera Bread operates restaurants across the country. Use the locations page to check the nearest Panera Bread address, phone number, and opening hours. Hours vary by store and by day, and holiday hours often differ from the regular schedule. Some branches run extended or late-night hours while others close earlier, so it is worth checking the individual location page or calling ahead before a late trip.
A few things worth knowing before you order at Panera Bread: breakfast runs on its own schedule and usually stops in the late morning, so go early if that is what you want, seasonal items are limited-time, so grab them before the lineup rotates, desserts sit at the lower end of the price range and work as an add-on, and checking the app before you order is the simplest way to cut the total. Prices and availability on this page are estimates gathered from public sources and reviewed by our editors, so confirm anything time-sensitive with the restaurant directly.
This Panera Bread menu page is compiled by our editorial team from the brand's own published menu, its app, and in-store menu boards, then cross-checked against more than one location so regional items are not mistaken for national ones. Every item is recorded with its category, price where we can verify one, calorie count where the brand publishes it, and the common allergens it carries. We re-check the page on a rolling schedule and after each seasonal launch, and the visible updated date at the top tells you how current the information is. We are an independent directory: Panera Bread does not review, approve, or pay for this page, and no brand can buy a better write-up. If you spot an item or price that looks wrong, send us the restaurant and the exact item and we will verify it against the brand and correct the page.
