Panera Bread unveils new summer 2024 menu items

American bakery-café fast-casual restaurant chain Panera Bread has expanded its offerings as Panera Bread unveils new summer 2024 menu items, including exciting new sandwich options and avocado toasts. The additions feature the Spicy Chicken Fiesta and Kickin’ Grilled Cheese sandwiches, as well as two new Avocado Toast varieties.

The Spicy Chicken Fiesta Sandwich, priced at $11.59, is packed with flavor, featuring Panera’s salsa verde spread, grilled chicken, white cheddar, sweet peppers, cilantro, and roasted corn on artisan ciabatta. Meanwhile, the Kickin’ Grilled Cheese, at $7.49, combines the salsa verde with American and white cheddar cheeses on classic white miche bread.

For avocado toast lovers, Panera introduces two new options starting at $3.49: the Classic Avo, topped with bagel seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper, and the Garden Avo, featuring fresh sliced tomatoes and garlic aioli. These vegetarian-friendly toasts are served on country rustic sourdough bread.

In addition to these new items, Panera is bringing back sesame and blueberry bagels, along with their Unlimited Sip Club deal, offering three free months of bottomless drinks for new subscribers who sign up by August 31, 2024.

In April 2024, Panera Bread introduced changes under the title New Era, featuring nine new offerings and 12 enhanced classic dishes. The updated menu, which includes sandwiches and salads such as the Toasted Italiano, the Chicken Bacon Rancher, and the Ciabatta Cheesesteak, was rolled out nationwide in response to extensive customer feedback and aims to provide more options under $10.
