We are bakers of bread. We are from the oven. We are a symbol of warmth and welcome. We are a simple pleasure, honest and genuine.

We are a life story told over dinner. We are a long lunch with an old friend.

We are your weekday morning ritual. We are the kindest gesture of neighbors. We are home. We are family. We are friends.

With the single goal of making great bread broadly available to consumers across America, Panera Bread freshly bakes more bread each day than any bakery-cafe concept in the country. Every day, at every location, trained bakers craft and bake each loaf from scratch, using the best ingredients to ensure the highest quality breads.

Panera Bread bakery-cafes showcase the art and craft of bread making, helping customers truly appreciate and enjoy a great loaf of bread by studying its crust, crumb and craft. Panera Bread understands that great bread makes great meals, from made-to-order sandwiches to tossed-to-order salads and soup served in bread bowls.
