Panera Sandwiches Prices & Calories

Prices below reflect standard, full-size Panera Bread sandwiches. Panera also sells sandwiches as a half-portion through its You Pick Two program, paired with a soup, salad, or any side, which is covered further down. Exact half-portion pricing depends on which two items you combine, so treat these as full-size reference prices rather than half-portion pricing.

Hot Sandwiches & Melts

Panera’s hot lineup runs from lighter bagel stacks to some genuinely heavy hitters. The Toasted Italiano and French Ciabatta Dipper both clear 1,200 calories, more than some people’s entire recommended lunch-and-dinner combined. Hence, it’s worth knowing that going in.

Cold Sandwiches

The cold lineup runs cooler in calories overall, and it’s where you’ll find the menu’s only fully vegetarian pick.

Family Feast Value Meals

Panera also sells sandwiches as part of larger group meals rather than as single portions. These aren’t sized for one person, and calories aren’t published per meal since portions are split among a group. They’re worth knowing about separately from the individual sandwiches above rather than compared calorie-for-calorie.

What Kind of Bread Does Panera Use for Sandwiches?

Panera bakes several breads in-house and assigns a specific one to each sandwich rather than using one default roll.

Bread	Sandwiches Served On It
French Baguette	Toasted Italiano
Ciabatta	Ciabatta Cheesesteak, French Ciabatta Dipper, Chicken Pesto Ciabatta Dipper, Spicy Fiesta Chicken
Black Pepper Focaccia	Chicken Bacon Rancher, Toasted Frontega Chicken, Chipotle Chicken Avo Melt
Tomato Basil	Mediterranean Veggie, Bacon Turkey Bravo®, Tomato Basil BLT
Sourdough	Turkey & Cheddar, Tuna Salad, Grilled Chicken & Avo BLT
Asiago Bagel	Chicken Roma Asiago Bagel Stack, Spicy Steak Asiago Bagel Stack

Bread pairings can change as Panera updates its menu, so if texture, allergens, or a gluten-free swap matters to you, confirm the exact bread for that sandwich in the app before ordering.

How Panera Sandwich Pricing Actually Works?

Panera doesn’t run one national price list. Cafes set menu prices based on local factors,  market, real estate costs, and regional pricing tiers,  which is a big part of why different websites (and even the same website checked a month apart) show different numbers for the same sandwich. The table above is a reliable starting point for comparing the Panera Bread sandwich menu. Still, it isn’t a substitute for checking your specific café before you order, especially for a group order.

Every sandwich on the menu is also available as a half-portion through Panera’s You Pick Two program, combined with a Panera soup, salad, mac and cheese, or side for one combo price. This is worth considering any time a full sandwich feels like more food than you want. Combo pricing is set per pairing rather than as a simple half-of-the-whole-price calculation, so the exact cost of a specific pairing is best confirmed at ordering.

Customizing Your Sandwich

Panera sandwiches can generally be customized in-cafe or through the app, swapping bread, adding or removing ingredients like avocado or bacon, or adjusting sauces. Any customization changes the price and calorie count from what’s listed above, so the figures in this article reflect the standard, as-listed version of each sandwich.

Panera Cafe Hours

Panera doesn’t operate on one fixed national schedule. Hours differ by cafe; a location inside a mall, airport, or hospital typically follows that facility’s hours, while a standalone cafe sets its own schedule based on local demand. Hours can also shift around holidays. The most reliable way to confirm hours for a specific visit is to check that café’s listing directly through Panera’s official store locator or app.
