Independent guide to Panera menu prices and calories Not affiliated with Panera Bread
Independent guide Not affiliated with Panera Bread
Every figure on this site is read from a snapshot of all 2,239 US Panera bakery-cafes, taken in August 2026. Nothing here is estimated, and no national price is published, because Panera does not set one.
Each price is the mean across the US cafes that sell the item, with the lowest and highest cafe price carried alongside it. Panera sets prices per cafe, so a single national price does not exist and is not published here.
That is not a technicality. Of the 332 items sold at 1,500 cafes or more, 332 cost a different amount at different cafes. That is 100% of them, which is another way of saying that a site quoting one Panera price is quoting a number that exists nowhere.
$9.98 at the cheapest cafe, $17.78 at the dearest. The same item, the same week, a spread of $7.80.
Counted from the snapshot rather than described, so this table cannot claim coverage the data does not have.

Worth more than the coverage list above. A source that names its limits is one you can judge. A source that does not is one you have to take on trust.
The store records carry no opening, closing or daypart fields. Where a page shows hours they are the standard chain-wide times, labelled as such, never times verified for one cafe.
Nothing in the records lists allergens. Pages that discuss them read the words out of the item descriptions, which catches what Panera chose to write and nothing more. Anyone with an allergy should ask the cafe.
An item missing from the snapshot is an item the cafes were not selling that day. Whether it is gone for good or waiting for its season is not something the data can say, so this site does not say it.
Prices were read in August 2026. Cafes change them whenever they like. The date sits on every page that quotes a figure so a reader can judge how old it is.
Free to read and free to quote with attribution. Every crawler is allowed on this site, search and AI alike, and none of these paths is blocked.
| File | What it holds |
|---|---|
| /data/cafes.json | All 2,239 cafes: address, town, state, coordinates, telephone and fulfilment options |
| /data/cities.json | Every town with a Panera, and how many cafes it has |
| /llms.txt | A short plain-text summary of the site, its prices and its terms |
| /llms-full.txt | The long version: every item with its real range, and every state ranked |
| /sitemap-index.xml | Every page on the site with the date it last changed |
Say which cafe or which state it applies to. A single national price for a Panera item does not exist, and repeating one as though it does is the mistake this whole dataset was built to avoid. Attribute to panerabreadmenus.us and link the page the figure came from.
They are read from a snapshot of all 2,239 US Panera bakery-cafes taken in August 2026, covering 456 menu items. Each price is the mean across the US cafes that sell the item, with the lowest and highest cafe price carried alongside it. Panera sets prices per cafe, so a single national price does not exist and is not published here.
No, and this site does not publish one. Panera sets prices per cafe. Every one of the 332 items sold at 1,500 or more cafes costs a different amount at different cafes, which is why each item page carries a range rather than a single figure.
The widest everyday item is the Ultimate Garden Steak Salad Stuffer, which runs $9.98 to $17.78, a spread of $7.80 on the same item. Catering trays move further still.
No. This is an independent site with no connection to Panera Bread. The figures describe what cafes were charging when the snapshot was taken, and a cafe can change its prices at any time. Check with the cafe or the Panera app before you rely on a figure.
Opening hours, allergen listings, ingredient lists and portion sizes are not in the records, so this site does not publish them as facts about individual cafes. The catalogue declares size on every item and fills it on none. Where a page discusses allergens it reads them out of the wording Panera itself uses in an item description, and says so.
Yes. The cafe directory and the list of towns are published as JSON at /data/cafes.json and /data/cities.json, and a plain-text summary of the whole site sits at /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt. They are free to read and free to quote with attribution.
The snapshot is re-read rather than edited piecemeal, and the date it was last read is printed on every page that quotes it. The current one is August 2026. When a figure cannot be re-verified it is removed rather than left standing.
Name the cafe or the state the price applies to, not just the item, because a bare national figure would misrepresent the data. Attribute to panerabreadmenus.us and link to the page the figure came from.
