What’s Back & In Season?

These aren’t new, they’re returning fall items, worth separating out so you’re not searching for them as new and coming up confused:

New Panera Soup: Three Cheese Lasagna Soup

At 360 calories and $7.19 a bowl, this Panera new soup sits right in line with Panera’s other cream-based bowl soups on price. It’s meaningfully lighter than the returning Rustic Baked Potato Soup (430 calories) at the same price point, worth knowing if you’re choosing between the two and calories are a factor.

New Pumpkin Spice Drinks: Comparing Your Options

Panera’s four new drinks in the pumpkin spice family, along with the rest of the Panera coffee and drinks menu land at very different calorie counts for the same $4.39 – $5.39 range:

If pumpkin spice flavor matters more to you than the milk-and-cream base, the Iced Coffee version gets you there for roughly half the calories and $1.00 less than the Latte or Frozen Java.

Snickerdoodle, Rocky Road & Hazelnut Mocha: Iced Coffee vs. Frozen Java

All three flavors come in two formats at different price and calorie tiers:

That’s roughly double the calories for $1 more to go from Iced Coffee to Frozen Java in any of the three flavors, a straightforward, verifiable trade-off if you’re deciding between a lighter iced drink and a heavier blended one.

New Bakery Items: Where the Multi-Packs Actually Save You Money

Three of the new Panera bread items from the Panera bakery menu come in single or multi-pack pricing, and the per-item savings vary more than you’d expect:

If you’re buying for a group, the Cinnamon Croissant Bites 12-pack is the clear value pick; the individually-priced rolls and cookies save you comparatively little per item.

New Breakfast Frittatas: Broccoli Cheddar vs. Five Cheese & Bacon

Both are $5.79. The difference comes down to 20 calories and ingredients: Broccoli Cheddar (280 calories) swaps the bacon in the Five Cheese & Bacon version (300 calories) for grilled broccoli. If you’re choosing between them purely on calories, it’s a small gap either way.
