Does Panera have gluten-free bread?

Short answer: No Panera doesn’t sell gluten-free bread, in its cafes or in grocery stores (The Takeout, 2025). On its catering menu Panera calls some items “gluten-conscious,” meaning it can’t guarantee they won’t come into contact with gluten. Choose a salad or soup without bread, and ask the cafe if you have celiac disease.

Panera is a bakery-cafe, so nearly everything comes on or with wheat bread. Here’s how to eat there without it, with prices from the Orlando cafe we checked.

Ordering without bread

  • Ask for salads without croutons and soups without the bread side or bread bowl.
  • Skip the bagels, baguette and pastries, which are all wheat-based.
  • Tell the cashier about a gluten allergy: everything is made in the same kitchen.
Celiac disease?

Panera can’t guarantee its food is free of gluten. Check Panera’s allergen information or ask the cafe before ordering.
