A large (30 oz) Strawberry Lemon Mint Charged Lemonade contains approximately 390mg of caffeine — more than four cups of coffee. The regular (20 oz) has about 260mg. Panera reformulated in 2024 to reduce caffeine, but it is still one of the highest-caffeine restaurant beverages available. Always check the posted caffeine labels at the drink station.
Every self-serve drink at the fountain station is included: hot coffee, iced coffee, hot tea, iced tea, Charged Lemonades, fountain sodas, lemonade, and flavored waters. Bottled drinks and smoothies prepared behind the counter are NOT included. You get one drink every 2 hours.
A regular hot coffee is $2.29 and a large is $2.79. Iced coffee starts at $2.99. If you buy coffee at Panera 5+ times per month, the Sip Club ($14.99/mo) pays for itself. Below that, paying per cup is cheaper.
No. Panera does not serve espresso-based drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, or macchiatos. They offer drip coffee (hot and iced), tea, Charged Lemonades, and fountain beverages. If you need espresso, Panera is not the right stop.
Unsweetened iced tea (0 calories, 0g sugar), hot tea (0 calories), or black coffee (5 calories). All are free with the Sip Club. If you want flavor, the unsweetened Passion Papaya Green Tea has 0 calories and no sugar. Avoid the Charged Lemonades if you are watching sugar — they pack 28-40g per serving.
Yes. Panera offers fruit smoothies in select locations. These are made behind the counter and are NOT included in the Sip Club. Prices range from $5.49 to $6.49. The Green Passion Smoothie and Strawberry Banana Smoothie are the most popular options.
Self-serve fountain drinks, coffee, tea, and Charged Lemonades are unlimited refills while you are in the cafe for a single purchase. With the Sip Club, you get one drink (with refills during your visit) every 2 hours. You cannot take a refill to go on a separate cup.
Charged Lemonades are lemonade-based drinks with added caffeine from coffee cherry extract and guarana. They come in three flavors: Strawberry Lemon Mint, Fuji Apple Cranberry, and Mango Yuzu Citrus. They are carbonated, fruity, and loaded with caffeine and sugar.
Yes. Hot coffee, iced coffee (unsweetened), all hot teas, unsweetened iced teas, and water are sugar-free. The self-serve station also has diet soda options. The Charged Lemonades and regular lemonade are NOT sugar-free — they contain 28-40g sugar per serving.
Some locations offer oat milk and almond milk for coffee and tea. Availability varies. Ask at the counter or check the app. There is usually no extra charge for milk alternatives when available, though some locations charge $0.50-$0.79.
