We have not been able to confirm a full weekly schedule for Panera Bread yet, so calling ahead at (202) 551-9201 is the safest bet. Bakeries often sell out of popular items by early afternoon.
Good to know: takeout is available. This is one of 1,910 locations of the same brand in our directory.
Panera traces its roots to the St. Louis Bread Company, which opened in Kirkwood, Missouri, in 1987; Au Bon Pain acquired it in 1993 and developed it into the Panera Bread concept, and some St. Louis-area cafes still carry the original name. The fast-casual chain is known for its Broccoli Cheddar Soup in a sourdough bread bowl, toasted sandwiches, salads and bakery items like the Cinnamon Crunch Bagel.
