Panera does not have a fully gluten-free kitchen, but they offer several “gluten-conscious” menu items. You can find salads (without croutons), some soups, and other items labeled in the app or in-store. Always ask staff about cross-contact since wheat products are prepared in the same kitchen.
Popular options include salads like the Green Goddess Cobb (without croutons), certain soups, smoothies, and yogurt parfaits. You can also order sandwiches as a lettuce wrap instead of bread to reduce gluten.
Panera labels some items as gluten-conscious, but there is still a risk of cross-contact because they prepare food in shared kitchens. If you have celiac disease or are highly sensitive, speak with staff before ordering and consider simpler items with fewer ingredients.
Calories vary by item. For example, a salad with chicken may range around 400–500 calories depending on size and toppings. Soups and smoothies also have different calorie counts. You can check the Panera app for exact nutrition details.
Yes, some items may contain dairy, eggs, nuts, or soy. For example, certain salads and soups include cheese, and baked goods may contain nuts. Always review the allergen guide in the app or ask staff if you have food allergies.
