Discover Panera's Exciting New Summer Menu: Fresh Bowls, Salads, and Drinks Available Now!
The official start of summer is almost here. On Wednesday, Panera revealed its new seasonal menu, which includes a variety of fresh food and drink options.
Panera's summer menu includes new chef-curated bowls, upgraded salads, breakfast items and cold drinks. All products are now available nationwide.
Below is a full rundown of what's new:
New Market Bowls are the headliner
Starting at $9.99, customers can choose from one of three options: Sesame Ginger Chicken, Carnitas Elote, and All-In Veggie.
New ingredients featured in these meals include seasoned diced chicken, slow-roasted pork, smoky lemon vinaigrette and creamy garden herb dressing.
Panera also introducing Premium Salads
Like the Market Bowls, Panera's salad additions come in three varieties: Garden Steak, Shrimply Baja, and Farmhouse Crunch.
The Shrimply Baja includes the reintroduction of shrimp to the Panera menu for the first time in a decade. There are also a multitude of new topping and dressing choices for customers.
New drinks on the menu, along with a breakfast addition
Panera is debuting three new Frozen Javas and Café Blend Iced Coffees--Snickerdoodle, Hazelnut Mocha, and Rocky Road--for those who need a cold pick-me-up. Also, patrons can buy the chain's new Island Mango Energy Refresher and Blackberry Hibiscus Herbal Iced Tea.
For breakfast, Panera is now serving a pair of new frittatas varieties, Broccoli Cheddar and Five Cheese & Bacon. Lastly, there's a new premium side on the menu--the Asiago Croissant Twist--for $1.
Panera has already made a couple of huge changes in 2026
Back in February, the company announced its first-ever value menu, which includes a "Mix & Match" format of half sandwiches, half salads and cups of soup.
Also, in the spring, Panera launched Frescas and Energy Refreshers as its latest cold drink expansion.
