Panera Bread Sides and Spreads Menu: Prices, Calories (November 2026)
Trying to decide what to add to your Panera Bread order or how many calories a simple baguette side contains? This guide brings together the Panera Bread sides and spreads menu, with prices and calorie counts to help you compare your options.
Panera’s sides fall into two groups: bakery/snack items (baguette, chips, croissant twists) and fresh options (apple, banana, fruit cup, yogurt parfait). Spreads are cream cheese, sold either as a single-serving container or an 8 oz tub.
Prices below run from $1.19 to $6.99 for sides, and $1.80 to $3.69 for spreads. Still, as with any multi-location chain, your local cafe may price slightly differently, so treat these as a reliable reference to confirm at checkout rather than a guaranteed national price.

Comparing sides at Panera on calories? The fruit options- apple, banana, fruit cup- all stay under 100 calories. Baguette and croissant twists land around 190–210. The yogurt parfait tops the list at 250, but it’s also the most filling, protein-and-dairy-based option here.
Panera Spreads Menu – Prices & Calories

Why Panera Baguette Calorie Counts Differ Online?
Search “calories in panera baguette side”, and you’ll see numbers from the 140s up past 260. That’s not one source being wrong. It’s usually three different things being measured:
Ordering the side with your meal? Go by 190 Cal. Comparing a retail loaf you bought separately? Expect a different total, because it’s a different amount of bread, not inconsistent data.
Are Panera Bread Sides Included Free, or Do They Cost Extra?
The prices above are for ordering a side or spread on its own, added to a Panera sandwich, soup, salad, or anything else. Panera also runs combo and meal-bundle deals from time to time. Some of those include a side or baguette at no extra charge, folded into the bundle price instead of billed separately. Which combos include what changes as Panera updates its menu. So check your specific deal in the app or in-café before checkout; that’s the only way to know for sure whether your side is free or extra.
