The four items everyone looks up
The four items readers ask about most — here are their 2026 prices and calories at a glance.
Broccoli Cheddar Soup
The signature soup — chopped broccoli, shredded carrot and select seasonings in a velvety cheddar cheese sauce.
Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt
Smoked pulled chicken, avocado, cilantro, Peppadew peppers and chipotle sauce on toasted sourdough.
Green Goddess Cobb with Chicken
Chicken, arugula, romaine, baby kale, avocado, egg, bacon and pickled red onions with Green Goddess dressing.
Creamy Tomato Soup + Grilled Cheese
The comfort combo. Order a cup of the soup with a half classic grilled cheese as a Pick Two and save versus ordering both whole.

Good to know
Panera menu questions, answered
The questions people type into Google before ordering — answered with 2026 prices.
A cup typically costs $6.99–$7.99 and a bowl $8.49–$9.49 at most US locations. Served in a sourdough bread bowl it usually runs $9.49–$10.99. As part of a Pick Two, the cup portion is the best value.
Bagels, from about $2.19 for a Cinnamon Crunch Bagel. For a full meal, Value Duets start at $6.99 — a paired half sandwich with soup or salad that undercuts almost every regular combo.
About 1,000 calories for the whole sandwich and roughly 500 for the half. Swapping the sourdough for whole grain or skipping the chipotle sauce trims it further.
No — breakfast sandwiches and soufflés end at 10:30 a.m. at most cafes. Bagels, muffins, pastries and coffee are available all day, so a Cinnamon Crunch Bagel is your late-morning fallback.
It combines any two half portions — cup of soup, half salad or half sandwich — with a free side of a baguette, chips or an apple. Totals typically land between $10.99 and $13.99. Try it in the calculator above.
No. Most cafes are franchised, so prices vary by city and state — sometimes by $2 on the same sandwich. That’s why every item here shows a range instead of one number, refreshed whenever changes are spotted.
About this guide
Why this menu page exists
Panera’s own site makes you tap through item after item to compare prices — and the price only appears once you’ve picked a cafe. MenuPanera puts the most-ordered items from every category on one page: typical price and calories side by side, so you can decide before you drive.
We track the menu the way regulars do: weekly price checks, same-week updates when seasonal items land (watch for fall squash soup and holiday bakery), and a running log of price changes so you can see what’s quietly getting more expensive. Found a price we’ve missed? That’s exactly the kind of tip that keeps this page accurate.

The Panera Bread menu, category by category
What Panera actually sells in 2026, what it typically costs, and where the calories land — with a dedicated guide for every category.
The Panera Bread menu is built like the bakery-café it comes from: soups and mac & cheese, toasted sandwiches, chopped salads, breakfast sandwiches and soufflés, a full bakery case, and coffee-shop drinks — most entrées between about $7 and $14, with typical prices and official calories tracked for every item on this site. Panera does not publish one national price list, so every figure here is a typical US range, and every calorie count comes from Panera’s own Nutrition Guide.
Soups & mac. The soup case is where Panera built its name: Broccoli Cheddar (280 Cal a cup, 420 a bowl) leads a line-up that includes Creamy Tomato, Homestyle Chicken Noodle — the lightest soup at 120 Cal a cup — Bistro French Onion, Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice and the seasonal Autumn Squash, plus the Mac & Cheese (490 Cal a cup) that shares the counter. Cups run about $5.49–$6.99 and bowls $6.99–$9.49. The full breakdown is on our Panera soup menu page.
Sandwiches. Toasted melts and deli classics, sold as halves and wholes: the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt (1,000 Cal whole) and Toasted Frontega Chicken (860) anchor the hot side, the Bacon Turkey Bravo (860) the cold side, with the Mediterranean Veggie the lightest whole sandwich. Typical wholes run $9.99–$13.99. See the Panera sandwich menu for every sandwich with prices and calories.
Salads. Whole salads run about $10.49–$13.99: the Green Goddess Cobb with Chicken (530 Cal), Fuji Apple with Chicken (710), Caesar with Chicken (670) and the Greek (630) cover most orders, and every salad can be ordered as a half in a You Pick Two. Our Panera salad menu compares them side by side.
Breakfast, bakery and drinks. Breakfast — egg sandwiches, soufflés, oatmeal and avocado toast, mostly $4.49–$9.59 — is served until 10:30 a.m. The bakery case runs from a $2.19 bagel to the famous Cinnamon Crunch Bagel (430 Cal) and Kitchen Sink Cookie (810), and drinks span drip coffee and cold brew to the Charged Lemonades and the Unlimited Sip Club. Browse the breakfast menu, the bakery & bagels menu and the drinks menu.
Ways to save. Three value routes sit underneath the regular menu: You Pick Two (two half portions plus a side), Value Duets at about $6.99, and the 2026 Mix & Match value menu, which lets you combine two or more of 11 favorite half and cup portions for $4.99 each with a free side. Families are covered too — the kids menu bundles a main, side and organic drink for guests 12 and under — and anyone tracking intake can go deeper with our Panera nutrition guide and gluten-free menu.
Catering and seasonal rotations. The same kitchen feeds offices and events through Panera Catering — sandwich and salad platters, soup by the container, bakery boxes and coffee totes — detailed on our Panera catering menu page. The café menu itself rotates through the year: Autumn Squash Soup and pumpkin bakery in fall, new salads and refreshers in spring, and limited-time sandwiches in between. When Panera publishes a new Nutrition Guide edition or a seasonal menu lands, this site is updated the same week, and every page shows the date its figures were last checked, so you always know how fresh the numbers in front of you are.
