Panera Bread for Breakfast? Dig Into the Bakery-Cafe’s Tasty New Menu Items

Listen to this article

Hey there, breakfast lovers! Panera Bread is about to rock your mornings with its mouthwatering new menu. Most Panera Bread bakery-cafes serve breakfast from opening (times vary by location) until 10:30 a.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. on weekends. Trust us, you’ll want to set your alarm clocks a little earlier for this.

Now served at bakery cafes across the country, the new breakfast menu caters to guest preferences with more bacon, new protein options, and inventive twists on fan favorites. Panera is introducing innovative breakfast items that promise to start your day on a delicious note as part of its ongoing menu evolution.

First, let’s talk toast. The two new Avocado Toasts add a fun and flavorful option. Inspired by Panera’s Food Hackathon winners, they add a burst of flavor and great value to the breakfast offerings.

Crafted on the bakery-cafe’s signature Country Rustic sourdough bread, these toasts offer a vibrant start to the day. The Classic Avo is everything you love about avocado toast: chunky avocado spread on thin-sliced sourdough, topped with everything bagel seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper. The Garden Avo kicks it up with fresh sliced tomatoes and a drizzle of garlic aioli. Topped with everything bagel seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper, this option is both flavorful and satisfying. Brunch, anyone?

Good news for bagel fans: You can once again enjoy sesame and blueberry bagels at Panera. Whether you’re grabbing a quick breakfast or looking to enhance your sandwich, these bagels are the perfect choice.

Panera Bread’s Breakfast Sandwiches and Sweet Treats To Start Your Day

Speaking of sandwiches, Panera’s not messing around with its breakfast offerings. The bakery-cafe has doubled down on the bacon with its Bacon Double Take sandwich. For bacon enthusiasts, this sandwich is a dream come true because it features twice as much applewood-smoked bacon as a traditional Panera Bread breakfast sandwich. As if that’s not enough, all that bacon is complemented by fluffy scrambled egg, melty American cheese, and provolone, sprinkled with sea salt and black pepper and served on black pepper focaccia. It’s a flavor-packed start to the day that’s sure to satisfy any bacon lover.

For steak enthusiasts, the limited-time Steak & Wake sandwich is here to satisfy your morning cravings. The premium sandwich offers a gourmet touch to breakfast with marinated, thin-sliced steak, white cheddar, sea salt, and black pepper served on Panera’s signature artisan ciabatta bread. It’s a great choice for those looking to elevate their morning meal with a hearty, delicious sandwich.

Lovers of traditional breakfasts will appreciate the Ciabatta Ham, Egg & Cheese sandwich, which combines classic ingredients in a new option that promises both flavor and convenience while being a good source of protein. This hearty bite features savory Black Forest ham, scrambled egg, and aged white cheddar sprinkled with sea salt and black pepper and nestled on Panera’s signature ciabatta bread. It’s the perfect grab-and-go meal for those busy mornings when you need a satisfying start to your day.

Hold onto your taste buds because Panera Bread is about to blow your mind with its CinnaScrambles. It’s like breakfast and dessert teamed up, and we’re here for it! Panera Bread shakes up the breakfast menu with this creative offering, combining classic breakfast sandwich ingredients with the chain’s beloved cinnamon roll for a unique and delicious sweet-and-savory experience.

Starting at $5.39, CinnaScrambles come in several varieties: the Sausage CinnaScramble, featuring savory sausage or the customizable bacon option, scrambled egg, and melty American cheese, and the meatless Egg & Cheese CinnaScramble, with fluffy scrambled egg and melty American cheese, both finished with a sprinkle of sea salt and black pepper. It’s a simple yet indulgent option that merges breakfast staples in a new and exciting way (prices vary by location).
