You may flock to Panera Bread in the fall and winter for seasonal soups and desserts, but there’s plenty of deliciousness to take advantage of when the weather is warm, too. In fact, there’s a new Italian-inspired lineup on the chain’s summer menu, featuring a new drink, salad and sandwich that are designed to taste like a Tuscan getaway. The limited-time items are joined by an additional new salad and dessert that you’ll want to sink your teeth into while you still can.
I, a food editor, headed to the nearest location to taste the entire selection. Below, you’ll find original photos, my honest feedback and an overall ranking, so you’ll know exactly what to order on your next visit.
