Tag: Panera vegan menu

In light of a recent shift towards increased plant-based offerings and aims for a 50% plant-based menu, Panera Bread does not currently offer a vegan cream cheese option. This may disappoint many plant-based eaters looking for a classic bagel and schmear experience at the popular fast-casual restaurant.

According to reliable sources like PETA, the sourdough bread bowl at Panera is indeed vegan and made with a sourdough starter free of animal products. However, enjoying a fully plant-based meal requires careful navigation, as the soups traditionally served inside are not always vegan.
