Panera in San Francisco

Believe it or not, I just got back to the Bay Area from Shanghai — and the moment my plane landed, I rushed straight to Panera ✈️🍞. I genuinely love “American-style” sandwiches — they’re not my “last resort,” they’re my go-to choice! 🌟 Why I love Panera: Clean, fresh ingredients you can actually see 🥬 Balanced meals with protein, carbs, and veggies Calories are decent but come from wholesome, minimally processed foods Customizable to fit exactly what you want Filling and satisfying without leaving you craving more Panera truly stands out in the U.S. for this — I’ll always love Panera! ❤️ 🌟 Okay, back to the promo tips: 1️⃣ Recent deal: Second sandwich for just $5 🤑 2️⃣ My go-to: Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt — but swap the bread for a blueberry bagel 🫐🥯. Trust me — this takes it to another level! Savory chicken + avocado + your chosen toppings inside a slightly sweet, blueberry-studded bagel = salty-sweet perfection 😭👌 Note: Swapping to a bagel adds $0.50, so BOGO shows as $5.50 instead of $5 — totally worth it! 3️⃣ New item: Ciabatta Cheesesteak — amazing! Loaded with steak. I swap the ciabatta for focaccia (no extra charge). Toasted focaccia gets crispy outside, wrapped around melted cheese, seasoned beef, veggies, and sauce… crispy, juicy, cheesy, fresh-sweet — pure satisfaction 😭❤️. 4️⃣ Key topping for the cheesesteak: Caramelized Onions — get extra! I thought In-N-Out’s grilled onions were good until I tried these — OMG, genius move 🧅✨. Another salty-sweet combo that pairs perfectly with cheesesteak. 5️⃣ Another must-add topping: Sweet Roasted Red Peppers (not spicy at all!) I always get extra — same idea: add something sweet to a savory sandwich, and deliciousness multiplies ✅. #BayArea #BayAreaFood #BayAreaLife #Panera #PaneraBread #BagelSandwich #FoodHacks #EatClean 🥖
