A large Charged Lemonade contains up to 390mg caffeine, which is more than 4 cups of coffee. The FDA daily limit is 400mg. If you are caffeine-sensitive, pregnant, or have heart conditions, choose a regular drink instead. The Charged Lemonades look like juice but are closer to energy drinks. Always read the caffeine label at the station before filling your cup.

Values are approximate. Caffeine in Charged Lemonades may vary slightly by location due to self-serve dispensing.
The Sip Club covers every self-serve drink at the fountain station. One drink every 2 hours with unlimited refills during your visit. Here is exactly what you get and what you do not.
If you are watching your sugar intake, these are the Panera drinks with zero or minimal sugar. All of them are free with the Sip Club subscription.
Watch out for Charged Lemonades: They look like juice but contain 50 to 82g of sugar per serving. That is more than a can and a half of Coca-Cola. If you want lemonade flavor without the sugar, mix unsweetened iced tea with a lemon wedge from the condiment station.

These ordering tips can save you money, help you avoid sugar crashes, and make your Panera drink experience better.
Panera fills cups with a lot of ice by default. Asking for light ice gets you about 30 percent more actual drink per serving. This applies to iced coffee, iced tea, and Charged Lemonades.
Fill half your cup with unsweetened iced tea and half with regular lemonade at the self-serve station. You get a classic Arnold Palmer with half the sugar of regular lemonade.
You can get one drink every 2 hours. If you work near a Panera, grab a morning coffee at 8 AM and come back for an iced tea at lunch. That is two free drinks for $14.99 per month.
Always read the caffeine label at the station. A large has 390mg of caffeine. If you already had a morning coffee at 95mg, one large Charged Lemonade puts you at 485mg, well over the FDA 400mg daily limit.
Panera allows you to use your own reusable cup for self-serve drinks. This works for both regular purchases and Sip Club refills. Some stores may require you to purchase or use a Panera cup for the first pour.
Some Panera locations offer oat milk and almond milk for coffee and tea at no extra charge. Availability varies by store, so check with staff or look in the app before ordering.
These are the drinks customers order most often. Each one is available at every Panera location with consistent pricing.
