Set cafe by cafe, and how to check yours
Panera sets opening and closing times cafe by cafe and does not publish a national timetable, so this page does not invent one. It lists the 2026 holiday dates and the phone number for every one of the 2,239 US cafes, so you can check the cafe you are heading to.
Three ways to check a cafe
Quick Answer
It depends on the cafe. Panera sets opening and closing times cafe by cafe, weekends can differ from weekdays, and cafes inside airports, malls, hospitals and campuses follow the building they sit in. Panera does not publish one national timetable.
The records this site is built from hold menu prices, calories and cafe addresses, but no hours, so we do not print a typical week. The directory below gives every cafe's phone number, and the Panera app shows the hours each cafe files.
Panera sets holiday hours cafe by cafe and franchise operators may differ, so the table below gives the 2026 dates and what to expect rather than opening times. Ring your own cafe before setting off on a holiday.

| Martin Luther King Jr. Day | January 19 | Check your cafe | Set by each cafe |

Panera publishes no single national holiday timetable, and franchise-operated cafes set their own schedules, so call your local Panera on the number in our directory below to confirm before visiting on a holiday.
Breakfast, drive-thru, Rapid Pick-Up, delivery and catering each run to the cafe's own schedule. Here is what each one depends on.
Breakfast starts at opening, and each cafe sets when its hot breakfast menu ends. Bakery items stay out until they sell.
Not every cafe has a drive-thru. Where there is one, its hours are set by the cafe and may not match the dining room.
Order through the Panera app or website and collect in the cafe. Pickup times follow your cafe's hours, and the app only offers the slots it has.
Panera delivery is available through the app, website, or third-party services like DoorDash and Uber Eats where the cafe offers it.
Catering needs notice, and the lead time is shown when you order for a particular cafe and date. Delivery is offered in some areas.
Hours follow the building's schedule, so a mall or airport cafe can open and close at different times from a standalone one.
Panera sets hours cafe by cafe, so a schedule that fits one town can be an hour out in the next. Three ways to get the exact times for the cafe you are driving to.
The only answer that is current on the day. Every cafe in the directory below carries its own phone number, so tap it and ask. Worth doing on holidays and for airport, mall and campus cafes, where the schedule is set by the host site rather than by Panera.
Panera's own cafe locator shows the hours each cafe files, and it is the source that updates first when a cafe changes its closing time. It also tells you whether that cafe runs a drive-thru or Rapid Pick-Up, which keep their own windows.
Searching the cafe by name in a maps app shows its posted hours plus any temporary change, such as a holiday close or a refit. Check the date on the notice, because a listing can keep showing hours a cafe has already moved on from.
We list the address and phone number for every US cafe rather than a weekly timetable for each one. Publishing 2,239 schedules we cannot keep current would be worse than sending you to the cafe that knows.
If the sign near you reads St. Louis Bread Co rather than Panera, you are looking at the same company under its original name.
The chain began in St. Louis as the St. Louis Bread Company and the business later took the Panera name nationally. Cafes in the St. Louis area have kept the older name, while cafes elsewhere carry the Panera one.
The name on the door does not change how hours work. A Bread Co cafe sets its own opening time and breakfast cut-off, exactly as a Panera-branded cafe does, so the same checks apply.
Our directory lists all 69 Missouri cafes under the Panera name, because that is how the location data records them. Search your city below and ring the number shown, whichever name is above the door.

Answers to the most common questions about Panera Bread store hours, holiday schedules, and special services.
Panera sets opening times cafe by cafe and does not publish a national timetable, so there is no single answer. The Panera app shows the hours your cafe files, and every cafe in the directory on this page has its phone number.
Closing time is set by each cafe too, and it can differ between weekdays and weekends. Cafes inside malls, airports, hospitals and campuses follow their host building. Check the app or ring the cafe before a late visit.
Because we do not have them. The records this site is built from hold menu prices, calories and cafe addresses, but no opening hours. A printed typical week would look helpful and be wrong for many cafes, so this page points you to the sources that are current instead.
Thanksgiving falls on November 26, 2026. Panera cafes commonly close for the day, but the decision is made locally, and franchise-run cafes or those in airports and travel centers can differ. Confirm with your cafe before you go.
Christmas Day is Friday, December 25, 2026. Panera cafes commonly close for the day and Christmas Eve hours are often shortened, but both are set locally. Ring your cafe or check the app in the days before.
Easter Sunday is April 5, 2026. Some cafes close and others open with shorter hours, and there is no national rule, so this is a day worth checking with your own cafe.
Each cafe sets when its hot breakfast menu ends. The Panera app shows what your cafe is serving when you open it, which is the quickest check before a late-morning order. Bakery items are separate and stay out until they sell.
Not always, and not every cafe has a drive-thru. Where there is one, its hours are set by the cafe, and the Panera app shows whether your cafe offers it.
Search the directory on this page by city, state or ZIP code, or allow location access to list the cafes nearest you. Each card carries the cafe's address and phone number, so you can ring it for that day's hours.
Panera sets hours cafe by cafe, and the holiday table above lists the days most worth checking. For the times your own cafe is working today, find it in the directory and ring the number on its card.
