Panera Breakfast Menu With Prices (2026)

Panera Bread is a US bakery-cafe chain. Its breakfast menu covers egg sandwiches, frittatas and souffles, parfaits, oatmeal, and the bagels the chain is known for.

38 items with 2026 prices, calories, protein, and sodium. Plus the hours question everyone asks: when does Panera stop serving breakfast, and what can you still get after that? Breakfast is one of 24 categories in our complete Panera menu guide.

The short version: the most protein is the Farmhouse Duo Asiago Bagel Stack (34g, $7.03). The lightest real meal is the Greek Yogurt with Berries Parfait (250 cal, 15g protein, 80mg sodium). And the cheapest breakfast on the menu is a single bagel at $1.98, with more protein than you would expect.

Breakfast hours

When does Panera serve breakfast?

The most-asked question about this menu. These are the typical hours across cafes in our research: your cafe sets its own schedule, so confirm locally.

6:00–10:30am Weekdays Monday to Friday: hot breakfast ends at 10:30am
6:00–11:00am Weekends Saturday and Sunday: hot breakfast ends at 11:00am
All day Bakery & coffee Bagels, pastries, and coffee are sold past the cutoff

Missed the cutoff? After hot breakfast ends, the egg sandwiches stop, but bagels, bakery items, and coffee continue all day: breakfast is not fully over. Hours above are typical, not guaranteed per cafe.

Order by your goal

Four ways to pick your breakfast

Most protein, lightest, best value, and our honest healthy picks. Sodium over 1,000mg or calories over 700 get a red flag: at breakfast, that matters.

All six are egg sandwiches: no bagel or parfait gets close.

Healthy picks

Our editorial four: “healthy” depends on the goal, so the caveat is below.

1

Greek Yogurt with Berries Parfait

Parfaits, Fruit Cups, & Oatmeal

250 cal

  • $5.63
  • 15g protein
  • 80mg sodium
  • 2.66g/$

Light, high-protein, and the lowest sodium of any substantial breakfast here. Our standout.

2

330 cal

  • $6.14
  • 8g protein
  • 170mg sodium
  • 1.3g/$

Warm, filling, and gentle on sodium: the calm start.

3

Fruit Cup

Parfaits, Fruit Cups, & Oatmeal

60 cal

  • $4.00
  • 1g protein
  • 25mg sodium
  • 0.25g/$

Pure and simple at 60 cal. A side, so pair it with something bigger.

4

Multigrain Bagel Flat

Bagels

190 cal

  • $1.98
  • 6g protein
  • 420mg sodium
  • 3.03g/$

A real bagel under 200 cal at $1.98: the lightest bread-based pick.

Honest caveat: there is no single healthiest breakfast. Watching sodium? The parfait’s 80mg is not listed here. Watching calories? The Fruit Cup. Want filling protein without the calorie bomb? The Steak & Wake (32g protein, 520 cal) in the protein list above. Pick the goal first, then the item.

How these picks work: rankings cover all 38 breakfast items; 31 carry listed official nutrition, and the bagel packs plus two items are price-only. Prices are 9-city averages (San Diego, Los Angeles, NYC excluded), checked Sept 30, 2026. Nutrition: Panera’s official guide, effective Sept 2, 2026. Breakfast flags: sodium over 1,000mg, calories over 700.

The $1.98 secret

Ten of the eleven single bagels cost exactly $1.98. The one exception is the Everything Protein Bagel at $1.99. That makes a bagel the cheapest breakfast at Panera, and quietly one of the best protein values anywhere on the menu.

The protein plays at that price: the Asiago Everything (15g protein, 370 cal, 7.59g/$) and the Asiago (14g protein, 350 cal, 7.08g/$). Most people walk past them to a $7 sandwich with twice the price and, in some cases, barely more protein.

At $1.98, a single bagel is the cheapest breakfast Panera sells; the Asiago (14g protein) and Asiago Everything (15g protein) are the protein plays at that price.

FAQ

Panera breakfast: questions we hear

Hours, cutoffs, cheapest, healthiest, and the Tuesday deal: the questions people actually search for, answered with the numbers above.

  • At most cafes, hot breakfast ends at 10:30am on weekdays and 11:00am on weekends. Those are the typical hours across the cafes in our research, and they do vary by location. After the cutoff, the egg sandwiches and soufflés stop, but bagels, bakery items, and coffee keep going.

  • No. The hot breakfast menu (egg sandwiches, frittatas, soufflés, and oatmeal) ends mid-morning. The bakery case is the exception: bagels and pastries are sold all day, so a $1.98 bagel still counts as breakfast at 3pm.

  • Typically 6:00am to 10:30am Monday to Friday, and 6:00am to 11:00am on Saturday and Sunday. Treat that as the usual pattern rather than a guarantee for your cafe, and check your local bakery-cafe before you go: our Locations page can point you at it.

  • Any single bagel at $1.98, with one exception: the Everything Protein Bagel is $1.99. The smart cheap picks are the Asiago (14g protein) and Asiago Everything (15g protein): real protein for under two dollars.

  • It depends on the goal: there is no single answer. For light plus protein, our standout is the Greek Yogurt with Berries Parfait (250 cal, 15g protein, 80mg sodium). For the fewest calories, the Fruit Cup (60 cal). For hearty but measured, the Steak & Wake (32g protein, 520 cal).

  • The Farmhouse Duo Asiago Bagel Stack, with 34g protein ($7.03, 730 cal, 1,520mg sodium). Right behind it: the Sausage & Egg Asiago Bagel Stack (33g) and the Steak & Wake (32g, at a leaner 520 cal).

  • Yes, as long as your cafe and the app allow it: hot breakfast still ends at the morning cutoff, and delivery hours can be shorter than cafe hours. Our delivery guide compares the four ordering routes and shows the cheapest way to do it.

  • Our price data lists a Tuesday Baker's Dozen at $9.84. It is a day-specific price from the menu numbers, so verify it at your cafe before counting on it. The everyday deal is simpler: ten of the eleven single bagels cost exactly $1.98.
