MyPanera Rewards And App

The Panera Bread app has lots of great features.  In our review, we rated it an 8/10. The Rewards aren’t stellar, but there are other built in conveniences like Order From My Table that will help you get a seat during the lunch rush hour.  Even if you’re not into mobile apps, fans should consider enrolling in MyPanera Rewards official website.  You’ll earn Rewards Dollars on your regular purchases towards free food, be notified of special deals coming your way, and you’ll earn a free pastry right away!  That’s the best way to get a lower price on your favorite items.

If Panera is running a promotional code on some tasty food, the app makes it easy to run that through for your savings.

What’s On The Panera Menu?

Panera Bread is a bakery and deli-type restaurant with a wide array of sandwiches, soups, salads, and baked goods.  Their bagels are particularly popular, and the new Flatbread Pizza has caught on, too.  Panera’s coffee holds up pretty well to the premium competition from other fast casual restaurants.  Like Starbucks, it’s a spot where people will set up to get some remote work done, or lounge around with family and friends in a leisurely atmosphere.  They’ve leaned into this trend with the Unlimited Sip Club, where you can get all the coffee, hot tea and sometimes other free drinks for a flat monthly fee.  For the full lineup, visit our Panera Bread Menu page.  Panera gift cards are a pretty solid choice when you aren’t sure what to get for a loved one.

If you’re looking for a meal for a business function, Panera Catering is a great option.  They’ve got a lot of different items to choose from, it travels well, and it generally keeps everyone happy and more likely to pay attention at the meetings.
