Pumpkin Season at Panera Bread

Pumpkin Season at Panera Bread

It’s technically still summer, but the wait is over for our favorite autumn flavors. Pumpkin season at Panera Bread is here with a brand-new lineup of fall favorites, and the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte, to bakery-cafes nationwide. As someone who waits for these treats every year, I cannot wait to satisfy my autumnal sweet tooth! Let’s take a look at their new coffee drinks and baked goods.

The Drinks

The fall drink menu offers two new sips with two returning favorites:

  • NEW Pumpkin Spice Iced Coffee
    • A dark roast coffee with pumpkin sauce over ice, topped with sweet cream cold foam and pumpkin spice crumbles.
  • NEW Pumpkin Spice Frozen Java
    • A frozen blended coffee drink with dairy blend and pumpkin sauce, topped with whipped cream and pumpkin spice crumbles.
  • Pumpkin Spice Latte
    • Freshly brewed espresso combined with foamed milk and pumpkin spice sauce, topped with whipped cream and pumpkin spice crumbles.
  • Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte
    • All the flavors and ingredients of the classic Pumpkin Spice Latte, served over ice.

The Treats

Pair those pumpkin drinks with some sweet autumn treats! Panera’s seasonal menu will feature two new bakery items and one returning classic. All are crafted by Panera’s chefs to deliver the taste of fall in every bite.

  • NEW Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll
    • A deliciously crafted roll made with sweet dough, stuffed with cinnamon and pumpkin filling, topped with decadent pumpkin spice icing.
  • NEW Caramel Pumpkin Slice
    • A flavorful slice of cake with pumpkin pie spices, brown sugar, vanilla, and salted caramel swirls, topped with pumpkin spice icing.
  • Pumpkin Cookie
    • Deliciously crafted, pumpkin-shaped shortbread cookie decorated with icing.

A Pumpkin Dream

“Our guests look forward to these fall flavors each year, and we are bringing them to our menu in more ways than ever,” said Scott Uehlein, VP of Culinary, Panera Bread in a recent press release. “What sets our fall lineup apart are the details – from the decadent pumpkin spice icing and filling on our Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll to the spiced crumbles and creamy cold foam topping our coffee beverages. Whether it’s a refreshing iced drink or a sweetly spiced bite, Panera is the ultimate fall destination.”

These great fall drinks and treats are the perfect addition to the tasty soups and sandwiches Panera Bread is known for. I love to warm up with a black bean or creamy tomato soup. Then, I treat myself to some pumpkin spice. It’s my go-to on a cool autumn afternoon.

Panera’s seasonal menu innovations are available for dine-in, delivery, Rapid Pick-Up, or drive-thru. Learn more at panerabread.com.
