About Panera Bread Charges
Panera Bread Company operates a chain of bakery-café restaurants across the United States. Charges appear on your statement as "PANERA," "PANERA BREAD," "PANERA CAFE," or a specific location number. Common charges include in-store purchases, online and app orders, Panera delivery, Unlimited Sip Club subscription ($14.99/month), catering orders, and Panera gift card purchases.
Unexpected charges are frequently caused by the Unlimited Sip Club subscription auto-renewing monthly, rapid pickup orders placed accidentally, or delivery fees and tips on Panera delivery orders.
