Panera's Biggest Menu Update Begins April 4, 2024!

Panera Bread is getting ready for a big change in April. They are planning to update their menu more than ever before. Starting on April 4, 2024, Panera will bring in over 20 new and improved items to their menu. There will be nine brand new dishes and 12 updates to some of their classic eats that customers already love.

The goal of this menu change is to make sure customers get great value and a smooth experience at Panera. They want to focus on what people love most—soups, salads, sandwiches, and their famous Mac & Cheese. You'll see tasty new dishes for less than $10 like the Tomato Basil BLT, Ranch Cobb Salad, and Mediterranean Greens with Grains. Also, if you're someone who loves chicken or steak in your salad or sandwich, get ready for bigger portions!

It's not just about new things. Panera wants to make sure the dishes you already enjoy are even better. They're adding new salad dressings, better meats, and cheeses to make each meal special. Plus, a simpler menu helps Panera workers get you your order quickly and with a smile.
